FBI Agents Told to Stand Down on ICE Assault Probes; DOJ Denies Policy Shift The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Justice Department (DOJ) have issued a directive that has federal law enforcement agencies reeling.
According to emails reviewed by CBS News, FBI agents around the country have been told to stand down on investigations into assaults against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
This move marks a significant departure from established practice, in which the FBI typically serves as the lead agency for investigating assaults against federal agents, including those involving ICE officers.
