自2020年以来,有20多名ICE工人被指控在机构迅速扩张期间犯有虐待、腐败和行为失检等罪行。 Over 20 ICE workers charged since 2020 with abuse, corruption, and misconduct amid rapid agency expansion.

根据美联社的一项审查,自2020年以来,至少24名ICE雇员和承包商因虐待、腐败和不当行为等罪行面临刑事指控。 At least 24 ICE employees and contractors have faced criminal charges since 2020 for offenses including abuse, corruption, and misconduct, according to an Associated Press review. 案件涉及暴力攻击、对被拘留者的性剥削、贿赂以及与公务有关的非值班事件。 Cases involve violent assaults, sexual exploitation of detainees, bribery, and off-duty incidents tied to official duties. 该机构的规模在不到一年的时间里几乎翻了一番,达到22 000名雇员,引起专家对由于迅速扩展、监督有限和执行权力加强而造成虐待风险增加的关切。 The agency has nearly doubled in size to 22,000 employees in under a year, raising concerns among experts about increased risks of abuse due to rapid expansion, limited oversight, and heightened enforcement powers. 虽然ICE官员说不当行为并不普遍,新雇用的人员也经过彻底审查,但过去类似机构的增长已导致系统性问题,随着该机构的覆盖面和拘留能力的扩大,增加了对问责制的担心。 While ICE officials say misconduct is not widespread and new hires undergo thorough vetting, past growth in similar agencies has led to systemic problems, fueling worries about accountability as the agency's reach and detention capacity expand.
