ICE Is Reportedly Closer Than Ever to Joining the American Intelligence Community
While Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have for years pursued joining the U.S. Intelligence Community, the agency is closer than ever to doing so under the Trump administration, The Daily Beast reported Wednesday evening. Should ICE effectively become a spy agency, it would have increased access to raw intelligence, unfiltered by analyststhe kind of information that would allow it to double down on targeting and tracking down undocumented immigrants with criminal warrants.
While President Trump could theoretically sign ICE into the IC by executive order, The Daily Beast reports that its more likely that Kirstjen Nielsen, Homeland Security secretary, would sign off on the effort. It would then move to the National Intelligence director and Congress for final approval.
