ICE SUPERVISOR ACCUSED OF RECRUITING WORKERS FOR SEX PARTIES AND OTHER MISCONDUCT

By Miriam Raftery

October 20, 2015 (San Diego)--A federal investigation is under way into allegations claiming that a supervisor at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE , in downtown San Diego has been recruiting workers for swinger sex parties at his home that he shares with his wife, who is also an ICE agent.

The anonymous complaint was filed with Homeland Security’s Inspector General, however the department referred the complaints to Ice for an internal investigation and has questioned several people in the local ICE office, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The Union-Tribune has reviewed the complaint and reports that it contends workers were approached during work and via text messages. The sex parties reportedly included sexual romps which allegedly occurred in a bedroom while children were at home.

The complaint further alleges that some employees felt coerced and intimidated in an office where 13 employees have also filed complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity office alleging that they were harassed, verbally abused, or discriminated against based on race or gender.  Workers held a protest outside the agency office downtown last April.

Lorie Haley, an ICE spokeswoman, said of those complaints, “So far there have been no findings of discriminatory actions or significant deficiencies in local management practices,” the Union-Tribune reports.

ICE is the federal agency in charge of detaining and deporting undocumented immigrants.
