National Police Week: Honoring ICE

Release Date: May 13, 2014

Secretary Jeh Johnson, Deputy Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Tom Winkowski joined with leaders from ICE and across law enforcement to participate in the ICE Valor Memorial and Wreath Laying Ceremony at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial yesterday.

The ICE Valor Memorial and Wreath Laying Ceremony paid tribute to fallen law enforcement officers from ICE’s legacy agencies, the U.S. Customs Service and the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, as well as losses endured since ICE’s creation in 2003.

During the ceremony, Secretary Johnson spoke of his gratitude for the service and commitment of those who have died while serving ICE and its legacy agencies, and offered his deepest condolences for the losses that their families and friends have endured.

The Secretary laid a wreath on the memorial to honor those law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure the safety and security of others. Secretary Johnson also met with the family and friends of those honored and remembered during today’s ceremony as he viewed the Memorial Wall.

The ICE Valor Memorial and Wreath Laying Ceremony is part of National Police Week, held annually to honor the service and sacrifice of law enforcement professionals, including members of the Department of Homeland Security, who lost their lives in the line of duty. Throughout the week, Secretary Johnson and Deputy Secretary Mayorkas will participate in various events to mark the occasion and remember the law enforcement officers whom we have lost.
