According to a report by The New York Times, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have reportedly been informed that the FBI will no longer investigate claims of assault against federal officers. This purported shift in oversight, if true, would likely result in Homeland Security Investigations, an arm of ICE, handling these investigations internally. While the Department of Justice and DHS deny any change, critics suggest this could lead to less accountability for immigration agents and a reduced likelihood of investigating ICE agents who shoot unarmed individuals for civil rights violations, particularly given the FBI’s prior role in reviewing such incidents.
