Has DHS or ICE published any internal disciplinary or criminal‑conviction statistics for agents since 2024?
Executive summary
There is no evidence in the provided reporting that DHS or ICE have published agency-wide internal disciplinary records or consolidated criminal‑conviction statistics for their own agents since 2024; public releases and dashboards from ICE and DHS during 2024–2025 focus on enforcement activity (arrests, detentions, removals) and workplace safety incidents rather than personnel disciplinary outcomes [1] [2] [3]. Multiple outlets document that DHS and ICE have released operational and enforcement statistics and have publicly highlighted increases in assaults against officers, but none of those documents in the record publish systematic internal discipline or agent conviction tallies [1] [3] [4].
1. What DHS and ICE have published: enforcement and incident metrics, not internal punishments
ICE’s public statistics pages and the DHS Office of Health and Safety Statistics offer new dashboards and monthly tables that present arrests, detentions, removals and related enforcement trends as of late 2024 and into 2025, and those are explicitly positioned as operational metrics rather than personnel-discipline reporting [1] [2]. DHS press messaging and news items released by the department have also highlighted the number of assaults and threats against ICE personnel during 2025, framing those figures as evidence of rising risks to agents [3] [4]. None of these sources, as provided, include aggregated data on internal investigations, administrative suspensions, sustained misconduct findings, or criminal convictions of employees.
2. Public claims about agent misconduct and accountability exist, but are separate from formal statistics
Independent reporting and commentary catalog incidents, allegations and controversies involving ICE officers — for example investigations into use of force and problematic recruitment materials — but those media accounts do not substitute for an official, published aggregate disciplinary dataset and the Wikipedia and magazine coverage noted individual incidents and investigations rather than a comprehensive disciplinary table [5] [6]. Similarly, watchdog and think‑tank pieces in the record analyze who ICE detains and the criminality of detainees, not the criminal records or convictions of ICE agents themselves [7] [8].
3. DHS has released personnel‑adjacent figures and narratives but not consolidated agent conviction data
DHS public statements and press releases in late 2024–2025 emphasize operational statistics (book‑ins, removals) and workforce safety metrics like reported assaults against officers; the department has used those figures to justify policy positions and deployments, but those releases represent incidents affecting personnel, not documentation of internal disciplinary outcomes or criminal convictions of agents [1] [3] [4]. Coverage of doxxing, internal leaks and personnel controversies shows DHS sensitivity about public revelations of staff identities and misconduct allegations, but the sources do not show DHS publishing an internal disciplinary scoreboard [9] [10].
4. Limits of the public record and what would constitute an answerable dataset
The absence of published agent‑discipline or agent‑conviction statistics in the provided sources is a negative finding: reporting and official dashboards here document enforcement outputs and safety incidents, not aggregated personnel discipline metrics, and therefore one cannot assert the data does not exist elsewhere beyond these sources [1] [2] [3]. A definitive confirmation would require either an ICE/DHS page or report labeled “internal disciplinary statistics,” an Office of Inspector General release summarizing employee misconduct findings, or a Freedom of Information Act production of disciplinary records; none of those appear in the supplied materials [1] [2].
