FBI Stops Investigating ICE Confrontations After Three Deadly Incidents
According to sources cited by The New York Times, the Trump administration has directed the FBI to cease investigating claims of assault against immigration agents, transferring responsibility to Homeland Security Investigations, a branch of ICE. This change follows three deadly incidents involving ICE agents, including the fatal shooting of Joan Sebastian 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 Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security denied any policy change, stating the FBI will continue investigations per agency policy. Critics argue the guidance could grant ICE impunity, especially given that hundreds of prior assault cases against immigration officers have collapsed and officials have allegedly misrepresented confrontations.
