The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency should a the model for excellence. With its campaigns to target illegal immigrants, one would think they employ the highest standards when it comes to their own employees if they are going to go after innocent people just because of their lack of a piece of paper.
One would in fact hope that ICE agents were trustworthy and moral, but it seems as though the agency is flawed.
A scandal has broken out at ICE after the chief of staff resigned following allegations of sexual harassment.
While she claims the allegations are false, Suzanne Barr did not hesitate to step down from her position after people came forward with sexual harassment claims.
Three people have accused Barr of sexual harassment against male employees. One of which is James T. Hayes Jr., a senior ICE agent, who filed a sexual discrimination and retaliation lawsuit against Barr last May.
Hayes is seeking $4 million in damage, claiming Barr created a hostile work environment akin to that of a “frat house.”
Barr says the claims are all untrue and were designed to ruin her reputation.
Maybe next time ICE agents won’t be so keen on arresting illegal immigrants and will dedicate more time to screening their employees so workplace harassment does not occur again.
Sexual harassment is a serious crime that involves unwanted comments or physical actions that are sexual in nature. Incidents can include mild sexual jokes to violent attacks. But regardless of the individual situation, victims have a right to seek help. If you or someone you know has suffered at the hands of a sexual offender, turn to a leading sexual harassment lawyer right away to ensure the perpetrator is stopped and so you can obtain compensation for your pain and suffering.
