We investigated allegations that three supervisory (SES, GS-15, GS-14) U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) employees improperly disclosed classified information during an ongoing criminal investigation, failed to refer a felon re-entry case to the United States Attorney's Office (USAO), and made a false statement in the case file regarding the USAO notification. The allegations were unsubstantiated. However, we found the GS-15 employee violated ICE policy related to investigatory procedures. We presented our investigative findings to the USAO, who declined to open a case for further review. We referred our findings to the Assistant Director, Office of Professional Responsibility, ICE. |
