ICE Officer Pulled From Duty After Courthouse Shove; DHS, DOJ Reviews Begin | CNN2.0

🚨 An ICE officer was relieved of current duties after video showed him shoving a woman into a wall and to the floor inside New York’s immigration courthouse, prompting swift DHS condemnation and an internal investigation.
👀 The woman pleaded to be detained instead of her husband, fearing he would be killed if deported to Ecuador, as her children stood nearby during the altercation captured on camera.
🏛️ The incident has become a flashpoint in NYC’s mayoral race, with local officials criticizing cooperation with federal enforcement as courthouse arrests of immigrants increase.
⚖️ DHS says the conduct was “unacceptable” and placed the officer on modified duty pending a full probe; Rep. Dan Goldman referred the case for potential federal prosecution to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
📈 Context: Advocates report more frequent courthouse detentions amid heightened federal enforcement, while agencies emphasize professional standards and due process during the investigation.
