FBI to Stop Investigating ICE After Three Fatal Encounters

The Trump administration has reportedly directed the FBI to cease investigating claims of assault against ICE agents, instead delegating such probes to Homeland Security Investigations, a branch of ICE itself. This follows three recent fatal incidents: the shooting of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine, a man killed by a tractor trailer during an ICE chase in Florida, and the shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. The DOJ and DHS denied any policy change, but sources told The New York Times that FBI agents received notice of the shift. Hundreds of prior assault cases against immigration officers have already collapsed. Critics argue the move grants ICE impunity amid a pattern of disputed violent confrontations.
