ICE officer relieved of duties after videos show him shoving woman to ground

[Dulcinea]

(CBS News) A federal immigration officer who was captured on video pushing a woman to the ground outside an immigration court in New York City has been relieved of his duties while an investigation is conducted, the Department of Homeland Security announced Friday.

In a statement Friday, DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin called the conduct of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer "unacceptable and beneath the men and women of ICE."

"Our ICE law enforcement are held to the highest professional standards and this officer is being relieved of current duties as we conduct a full investigation," McLaughlin added.

1. A small good sign, unless they promote him or trump gives him a Medal of Freedom or something.

2. He's just being transferred and all ICE activities will continue as usual...

3. Only because he wasn't wearing a mask and could be identified.

4. He's a Patriot

What about HIS rights? It’s not as if he’s been convicted of 34 felonies or something really serious. What if that immigration officer is in the EPSTEIN FILES or has been an adjudicated rapist. Good Lord he’ll Never get out of jail. Law and Order Dude.

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."

"Our ICE law enforcement are held to the highest professional standards and this officer is being relieved of current duties as we conduct a full investigation," the department said in its statement on Friday. It's unclear where that investigation stands.
