A MAN RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR ICE AND DHS WAS ARRESTED IN A S*X CRIME STING.
According to reports from Minnesota, Brashad Johnson — who allegedly worked conducting background investigations connected to ICE, DHS, and other federal agencies — was arrested during a prostitution and s*x trafficking sting operation. (FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul)
Police officials described the arrest as one of the “most disturbing” because of the level of access and trust connected to his position. (The Daily Beast)
Another separate case involved an ICE employee later federally indicted after allegedly attempting to solicit a minor during an undercover operation in Minnesota. (FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul)
And in another federal case, a Homeland Security Investigations special agent was charged with production of child s*xual abuse material involving a minor victim. (Department of Justice)
These cases have raised serious national concerns about:
• vetting of federal officers and contractors
• abuse of authority
• accountability inside immigration enforcement agencies
• the risks of rapidly expanding enforcement operations without proper oversight
No agency is immune from misconduct.
And wearing a badge does not place someone above the law.
At the same time, accusations are not convictions, and every criminal case must still go through the court process.
