The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, (ICE), may be scaring a lot of immigrants currently with their raids and enforcement round-ups, but the agency took time back in 2018 to celebrate a former black employee and Caribbean immigrant. Mr David Augustus Straker(photo below) a native of Barbados left his Island in 1868 and arrived in Kentucky to teach at a freedmen’s school.

Four years later, After Straker moved to South Carolina he became the first black ICE agent to serve in the legacy agencies of ICE in the 1870s.
