The discipline against the six agents was issued in recent months, and agents have the right to appeal. The suspensions ranged between 10 and 42 days, according to the official, who was informed about the agency’s actions.
The positions of the suspended ones went from the level of supervision to the level of line agent, said a source familiar with the decision of the agency to ABC News.
