A former senior official at US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has warned that pressure to rapidly expand the agency's workforce and meet detention targets is leading to deadly errors in the field. Deborah Fleischaker, who served as Acting Chief of Staff at ICE, made the remarks approximately two weeks after a 26-year-old Colombian national was shot and killed in Maine. Her comments raise serious concerns about oversight and accountability within the agency as it scales up operations under intensified immigration enforcement policies.
