Duckworth Fires Staffer Over ICE Incident
Sen. Tammy Duckworth (R-IL) fired staffer Edward York after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Todd Lyons said York falsely claimed to be a detainee’s attorney and sought a G-28 form at a St. Louis field office. ICE could not verify his status and alleged he falsified a DHS form. Duckworth notified ICE in a formal letter.
Duckworth wrote, “I am writing in response to your November 12, 2025 letter regarding interactions between an employee of my Senate Office and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in the St. Louis ICE Field Office.”
Lyons said York, a Duckworth staffer, went to the field office after Sandoval’s detention and demanded access. ICE alleged York falsified paperwork.
