FBI to Stop Investigating ICE After Three Fatal Encounters
According to sources cited by The New York Times, the Trump administration has directed the FBI to cease investigating claims of assault against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, transferring responsibility to Homeland Security Investigations, a branch of ICE itself. The policy shift follows three fatal encounters: the shooting of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine, a man killed by a tractor-trailer while being chased by ICE in Florida, and the shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. The Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security denied any change, stating the FBI will continue to investigate per policy. Critics argue the move grants ICE impunity, especially as hundreds of prior assault cases have collapsed and officials have been accused of lying about confrontations.
