ICE announced on Thursday that it was “re-assuming leadership to support its growing administrative tempo.”
Ken Genalo, the acting executive director of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations, will step down from his position and assume the responsibilities of a particular government official. Since ICE has been based in Washington since January, ICE cited it as a way to spend more time with his community.
A former top DHS official who was first informed of Genalo’s upcoming retirement disputed Genalo’s departure.
The standard wrote in a text message that” I believe this statement is trying to put a roll on the changes,” adding that Ken was informed that he had to leave. Ken retired when they informed him that they were refusing to let him work as the [field department director ] and that he no longer wanted him as the EAD.
Homeland Security Investigations, the acting executive producer of ICE’s another arm, has been replaced by Robert Hammer, a lower-ranking HSI standard. Hammer had oversaw 10,000 employees tasked with carrying away significant investigations into transnational acts.
Genalo and Hammer did not respond to comments made.
