Biden administration nixes last-minute Trump deal giving ICE union 'veto power' over policy

The Biden administration on Tuesday struck down a last-minute union contract the Trump administration signed with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) employees, squashing a deal that would have allowed the union to stall the administration's immigration policies.

The agreement, signed by former acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli, forced the administration to get the blessing of the union before enacting policy changes.

ICE leaders disapproved the agreement just days before it was set to formally take effect.

"We're gratified that the agency acted before it was too late. And too late would have been any time after Feb. 18 so literally just days away," said David Seide, an attorney representing a whistleblower who first flagged the union agreement.

6. I would be surprised if the timing was deliberate.

Speculating they let this get close to let Ken think they were getting away with something, then squash.

7. Republicans like unions with strong power.

Republicans like unions with strong power.

That fact should come in handy in later union issues with the right wing.

8. As long as you don't ask for a decent wage

or ask them to enact policies that benefit workers - then they might listen

9. Another HORRIBLE ambiguous headline...

Biden administration nixes last-minute Trump deal giving ICE union 'veto power' over policy can be easily interpreted as

❌ Biden administration nixes last-minute Trump deal (THEREBY?) giving ICE union 'veto power' over policy

✅ Biden administration nixes last-minute Trump deal (WHICH GAVE?) ICE union 'veto power' over policy

10. Thanks for pointing that out. I was perplexed by the headline myself. Abolish ICE.

11. Trump's approach to immigration had fascist overtones

Find a group of workers that has the same violent, authoritarian viewpoint you do, encourage them, given them extra powers and resources, make them a law to themselves. Glad to see there are ways of rolling it back. Still worried about Trump judges.

12. Excellent news!

I think Biden and all his staff should have a big blue button on their desks that says

“I’M ON IT”

A little like the Big Red button that Staples used to promote their brand. I think it said “EASY”?

ANYWAY, this is such a relief.

13. Remember all those anonymous men Trump ordered to DC to create havoc with the BLM protestors?

And how he called up prison guards and gods know who else? I recall ICE was part of that.

Jesus Christ on a Trailer Hitch.

14. It would not have been right.

How could policy for the country be made by an employee union?

I see how much work Joe has to do. Please keep him in good health, safe, warm, and well rested.
