A growing storm of internal leaks, official contradictions, and political outrage has thrown a deadly federal shooting back into the spotlight, with senior officials now claiming that FBI delays have effectively paralysed ICE's ability to investigate one of its own agents.
According to senior Department of Homeland Security officials speaking off the record, the FBI's investigation into the shooting has stalled to such an extent that ICE cannot carry out its own internal review. The officials claim this directly contradicts statements previously given by the Department of Justice, which insisted ICE's Office of Professional Responsibility was conducting a parallel internal investigation.
