'This is not a time to compound one tragedy upon another by spreading fear in our community with false rumors of ICE operations,' the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said.
U.S. immigration authorities have been pushing to shut down"false rumors" they say are being spread to suggest that federal agents have been"targeting victims" of Saturday's mass shooting in El Paso, which is being investigated as an act of domestic terrorism.
"These statements are untrue. CBP personnel have returned to regular duties which include hospital watch duties for those in our custody requiring medical attention," the division said. In a similar statement, ICE also sought to dispel apparent rumors that its agents were conducting immigration enforcement operations against El Paso residents.
It added that its officers and special agents had been part of the"all-law-enforcement-agency response" to an"unprecedented [and] horrific event," asserting that"we always render aid to communities in distress [and] to our law enforcement partners."The men and women of ICE unite with the rest of our El Paso community in this sad and difficult time.
