Report Description:
U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) does not follow its written policy when conducting disciplinary reviews of Senior Executive Employees (SES) employees, which risks creating an appearance that SES employees receive more favorable treatment than non-SES employees. We reviewed the disciplinary proceedings of the former SES official to evaluate whether ICE’s deviation from the written policy, or any other evidence, in that case indicated that the official received favorable treatment, as alleged. We did not find evidence of actual favoritism or inappropriate influence in the official’s disciplinary or security clearance review processes. We recommended that ICE finalize and issue its draft policy documenting the process for disciplining SES members. We made one recommendation that will enhance transparency in ICE’s disciplinary program. ICE concurred with our recommendation and took action to resolve and close it.
