Law Enforcement Accountability

NPR reports that ICE officer Victor Mojica, caught on video Sept. 25, 2025 shoving a woman to the ground at a New York City immigration court, was returned to full active duty within about 72 hours even though the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General had not yet completed its review of the incident. In a subsequent letter to Rep. Dan Goldman, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said ICE referred the case for review and that on Nov. 25 the OIG decided not to open a criminal investigation, raising questions from former officials and critics about transparency and the adequacy of DHS oversight amid Trump‑era pressure to ramp up deportations.
