Presumably members of congress don't usually get a say in the disciplinary actions of any federal agency.

ICE sent a letter to Veasey stating it would address the matter and that such internal investigations can take up to 120 days, but it has otherwise not provided any information.

Veasey’s amendment came a week after the Observer reported that Rodden, who was apparently pulled from federal immigration court schedules following the Observer’s reporting last February, had returned to immigration court in Dallas.

Since ICE doesn't want to fire the guy, this is one of the few official acts thay can be taken to "encourage" him to leave on his own.

Which in this case is great, since Rodden is a bad person doing bad things. But a politician shouldn't be able to say something about someones salary or employment imo. Bad people still deserve to be treated fairly, that's how rule of law works.
