U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton and Spanish Ambassador to the U.S. Ramón Gil-Casares, shake hands at a repatriation ceremony. ICE returned a 16th century tapestry, stolen in 1979 from a church, to the government of Spain Wednesday at a repatriation ceremony at the Spanish ambassador’s residence in Washington. The tapestry was recovered by ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agents in Houston after it was sold at auction.
