A key House lawmaker is demanding answers after a major labor union with ties to President Biden took steps to abolish the National ICE Council, which represents thousands of officers at Homeland Security’s deportation agency.
Rep. Michael Cloud said the move by the American Federation of Government Employees appears to be retaliation against the ICE Council, after the officers filed charges with the Labor Department demanding an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct, financial mismanagement and an anti-ICE stance at AGFE that threatened the jobs of its own members.
