Russell Hott, acting executive associate director of ERO (enforcement and removal operations), and Peter Berg, ICE’s deputy executive associate director, will return, to the agency’s Washington field office and St. Paul, Minnesota, reported The Post.
FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller refused to comment on the planned mass raids to The Times but confirmed the FBI’s participation in supporting ICE operations.
An anonymous federal law enforcement source disclosed to the newspaper that ICE was working with other agencies such as the FBI and the DEA because the immigration operation was too grave to handle independently.
ICE agents are planning to carry out mass raids across Los Angeles before the end of the month, according to a leaked internal government memo.
Several law enforcement officials are believed to have received the memo last week and FBI agents have also been ordered to play a part in the raids, the report adds.
