Biden over the weekend, Gonzalez said he had concluded that pulling his name from the nomination process was "in the best interest of the nation that we love.".

The Biden administration has overhauled ICE's immigration functions, generally limiting arrests to immigrants deemed to pose a threat to national security or public safety and recent border crossers.

"We thank Sheriff Gonzalez for his willingness to serve in the face of baseless allegations against his family and thank Homeland Security Chairman Peters for his diligent and hard work in support of the nomination," the White House added.

The suit included an affidavit from an HCC officer who said he had been called to a domestic dispute at Gonzalez's house, though Melissa Gonzalez, Gonzalez's wife and former vice chancellor of HCC, previously stated that she never made any such complaint.

"Any suggestion that I filed or made a complaint against my husband is false and defamatory," Melissa Gonzalez wrote in a March letter.

Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee nixed a vote on Gonzalez's nomination after Republican Sen.

The Senate Homeland Security Committee launched a bipartisan inquiry into the alleged report of domestic violence, according to documents obtained by CBS News.

According to a committee aide, the investigation did not corroborate or offer any evidence in support of the allegations of domestic violence. .

The summary said the committee found "discrepancies" between the officer's affidavit that initially raised the domestic abuse allegations and his sworn testimony.

The Biden administration has also discontinued large-scale ICE worksite arrests and expanded so-called "protected areas" where agents should generally not arrest immigrants to include disaster sites, places where children gather and social services establishments. 

The Biden administration is appealing that ruling, which stemmed from a lawsuit filed by Republican officials in Texas and Louisiana.
