ICE Pulls Eagle County Agents From Field as Probe Into 'Ace of Spades' Cards Advances

A senior Denver official disclosed the change in court testimony after weeks without public updates.

Overview

  • Assistant field office director Gregory Davies told a federal judge that the ICE officers accused in the January Eagle County arrests are no longer working in the field and remain under investigation.
  • Colorado’s Democratic congressional delegation renewed demands for an independent, transparent inquiry and asked outgoing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to respond before March 31.
  • DHS previously told lawmakers the case moved from the Inspector General to the Office of Professional Responsibility and was assigned to a field office that the department has not identified.
  • Immigration lawyers in a related court case allege agents boxed in a car near Minturn on Jan. 21 and made warrantless arrests of three men headed to work.
  • Voces Unidas reports that agents used sirens to mimic local police and that ace of spades cards—printed with ICE’s Aurora contact information—were found on vehicles of families of men taken into custody.
