But why is ICE, specifically, investigating that? The Federal government has multiple criminal divisions - why are ICE now a US Citizen criminal investigatory branch too? Seems far outside of their remit.

> Homeland Security finally got one in 2003.
This was heavily affected by them being founded in 2002.

The departments they were built from didn't have those either.

"finally"? The Department of Homeland Security was formed in 2003.

And the departments they were created from lacked IGs...
Homeland Security got one in 2003 with the combination of previous agencies.
The Homeland Security Act of 2002 also let those offices start having their own statutory powers and carry firearms without needing to be deputized by the US Marshals Service.
