An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shoved a woman into a wall and then pushed her to the ground has been “relieved of his current duties,” an ICE official said Friday.

The incident was caught on camera Thursday at an immigration court in New York City – sparking outrage amid growing concern across the country about ICE’s increasingly aggressive tactics in arrests of immigrants.

“The officer’s conduct in this video is 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,” ICE Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said Friday. CNN has asked ICE to clarify what “relieved of his current duties” means – and whether the officer is still employed elsewhere within ICE.

In one video of the incident shared on social media, a woman and a girl are seen clinging with locked arms to a man, reportedly the woman’s husband, who is being detained, in a hallway of 26 Federal Plaza, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement District Office in Lower Manhattan. One masked agent grabs her hair as someone says, “Just grab her, grab her and pull her away.” Moments after separating the woman and the man, she is removed from the hallway into a nearby room.

1. He's gonna get a raise and a promotion when the piece of shit finds out what he did

For those who are new to reading my post, when I say “piece of shit“ I am always referring to the orange haired piece of shit in the White House.

[maspaha]

10. That is exactly what I was gonna say...

…except I was gonna include the f-word…
Fu(k!ng promoted and a raise

[IcyPeas]

2. "Our ICE law enforcement are held to the highest professional standards"

Fucking biggest lie ever.

[moniss]

3. Weasel words being used

when they say "current duties" it only means he's being reassigned to a different location so he can do the same things all over again.

[hamsterjill]

14. You got that right.

It's just public appeasement and nothing more. We all should get to know his name, rank, etc.

[moniss]

15. Yes indeed and saying he was

"relieved of current duties" is a whole lot different than "suspended from employment". Even if they said he was "terminated" they could be weaseling it and saying later on he was "terminated" from his present duties. The right way would be to say "Terminated from any further employment by any Federal agency and prohibited from use by any government contractor for providing any services related to immigration and customs enforcement as well as facilities where detainees are kept, transportation services for detainees are involved and any administrative involvement or physical involvement either alone, in a group of personnel or in any supervisory capacity of such personnel conducting patrol, surveillance, apprehension, transportation, detention and all aspects of detention facilities."

4. If there hadn't been video they would have denied it ever happened. nt

[ret5hd]

5. "...relieved of his current duties"

Promotion, raise, and some kinda “war medal” is my guess.

[SSJVegeta]

6. Cool. Now get rid of all the agents punching people in the face repeatedly or who arrested US citizens.

..would be a start

[Irish_Dem]

7. Sure. He will get the medal of freedom and promotion to a cabinet position.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

8. At least a thousand more should be relieved then

There's a lot more film out there.

[SunSeeker]

9. Would he have faced consequences if he was masked?

I doubt it.

These masked agents guys did worse to this US citizen, but no word of repercussions, only ICE saying they were not ICE agents. It should be illegal for any agents to be masked.

11. So the conduct is "unacceptable and beneath the men and women of ICE"?

Seriously? Has she seen any of the videos? This has become an everyday occurrence and that is just the videos that we are able to view.

Yesterday the story was a 79 year old man recovering from heart surgery, a business owner AND a U.S. citizen. What kind of monsters take down women and old people with brute force?

[BamaRefugee]

12. I call BS. He's doing EXACTLY what he was hired to do.

[Scalded Nun]

13. It is those damn pesky cameras. They ruin EVERYTHING!!!

[Martin68]

16. Fascist pigs.

[bluestarone]

17. Hell, i bet he just puts on a

Different mask.

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.
