In the story, which cited anonymous sources briefed on the decision, the Times reported that federal agents have been told that the FBI will no longer investigate alleged assaults on ICE, a move that could leave the Department of Homeland Security to police itself. Although these investigations look into alleged violence against agents, they can also produce evidence regarding harmful actions that agents take during these interactions.The reported shift in policy comes after ICE agents fatally shot two people in Texas and Maine.Both DHS and the Justice Department denied the change in a joint statement to the Times. “The relationship between D.H.S. and D.O.J. in investigating assault on federal officer cases has not changed, and F.B.I. will continue to investigate in accordance with agency policy,” the statement read.
