INFO: Fetching incident report for ICE Officer Victor Mojica.
WARN: [2025-09-25] Officer Mojica observed engaging in excessive force against civilian. Video evidence widely circulated.
DEBUG: Incident quickly escalated to viral status. User engagement metrics through the roof.
INFO: DHS issued public statement condemning behavior. Officer Mojica placed on administrative leave.
ERROR: Exception: PolicyViolationError. Officer unexpectedly reinstated to full active duty within 72 hours.
DEBUG: System analysts are reporting significant data inconsistency.
WARN: DHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) probe ongoing during reinstatement period.
INFO: [2025-11-25] OIG concludes no criminal investigation merited for incident.
DEBUG: Status Code 200, but public confidence metrics are severely degraded.
INFO: Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) queries DHS Secretary Kristi Noem regarding investigation.
ERROR: Noem's response deemed "wholly unsatisfactory" by Rep. Goldman. Critical information missing from official communication.
DEBUG: This looks like a classic case of insufficient logging and unclear commit messages.
"The officer's conduct in this video is unacceptable and beneath the men and women of ICE." -- Tricia McLaughlin, DHS Assistant Secretary of Media Affairs (Initial statement)
"So it begs more questions than it answers." -- Rep. Dan Goldman (On DHS response)
ALERT: [SYSTEM_INTEGRITY_CHECK_FAILED] Oversight mechanisms appear to be bypassed or severely flawed. Proceed with caution.

ReinstatementBeforeInvestigationCompleteException: Cannot reinstate officer while active investigation is still pending. Unexpected state transition detected.
Cause: Appears to be an unscheduled "git revert" on initial disciplinary action without proper review. Or perhaps a force push directly to main.
Segmentation fault? Unexpected behavior? Panic!
