ICE officer seen on video pushing woman to ground has returned to duty
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who was initially relieved of his duties after being captured on video pushing a woman to the ground outside an immigration court in New York City has been returned to duty, two U.S. officials familiar with the matter told CBS News.
The officials, who requested anonymity to discuss an internal move that has not been publicly announced, said the ICE officer was placed back on duty after a preliminary review of the incident.
CBS News reached out to representatives for ICE, the Department of Homeland Security and the White House requesting comment.
The move is a striking about-face, just a few days after the DHS released a statement denouncing the officer's conduct as "unacceptable and beneath the men and women of ICE."
