ICE Denies Receiving 10,000 Equal Opportunity Complaints
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has denied a claim that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is facing approximately 10,000 Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) complaints, calling the figure false. The allegation originated from a Substack article citing a retired police officer who said he was removed from an ICE hiring process due to age and told by officials of a high volume of similar EEO cases. DHS clarified that while a temporary waiver allows reemployed annuitants to serve up to age 65, new hires are still subject to federal age restrictions.
