"Many recruits have criminal backgrounds or can’t pass open-book exams on officer conduct, yet they’re allowed to tear children from their beds at night.

“Nothing but the best people” finally has stopped being funny. From NBC News:

ICE officials only later discovered that some of the recruits failed drug testing, have disqualifying criminal backgrounds, or don’t meet the physical or academic requirements to serve, the sources said. ... Staff members at ICE’s training academy in Brunswick, Georgia, recently discovered one recruit had previously been charged with strong-arm robbery and battery stemming from a domestic violence incident, the current DHS official said. They’ve also found as recently as this month that some recruits going through the six-week training course hadn’t submitted fingerprints for background checks, as ICE’s hiring process requires, the current and former DHS officials said.

“There is absolutely concern that some people are slipping through the cracks,” the current DHS official said. The official said many of the issues that have been flagged during training surface only because the recruits admitted they didn’t submit to fingerprinting or drug testing before they arrived. “What about the ones who don’t admit it?” the official said.

Geez, I dunno. Sub-Cabinet posts?

Nearly half of new recruits who’ve arrived for training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center over the past three months were later sent home because they couldn’t pass the written exam, according to the data. The academic requirement includes an exam in which officers are allowed to consult their textbooks and notes at the end of a legal course on the Immigration and Nationality Act and the Fourth Amendment, which outlines when officers can and can’t conduct searches and seizures.

So they’re accepting people who flunk an open-book take-home exam on the Fourth Amendment? Lovely.

The three sources said ICE’s human resources office is overwhelmed with more than 150,000 new applicants who have applied since ICE began offering $50,000 signing bonuses in August. The HR office is rushing to clear new recruits, which they believe is leading to mistakes.

“They are trying to push everyone through, and the vetting process is not what it should be,” said one of the former DHS officials with knowledge of the agency’s hiring. The current DHS official likened the pressure on ICE’s human resources employees to clear recruits to “asking them to pull a rabbit out of a hat.”

Sad, but more innocent Americans will have to die before this nonsense comes to a stop.

What Trump wants is to incite protests so he can claim "insurrection" and declare martial law. IMO, such an action will result in a lot of dead MAGAts.

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.​

What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We’re all finding out.​

At first glance, my résumé has enough to tantalize a recruiter for America’s Gestapo-in-waiting: I enlisted in the Army straight out of high school and deployed to Afghanistan twice with the 82nd Airborne Division. After I got out, I spent a few years doing civilian analyst work. With a carefully arranged, skills-based résumé—one which omitted my current occupation—I figured I could maybe get through an initial interview...

...Many of ICE’s critics worry that the agency is hoovering up pro-Trump thugs—Jan. 6 insurrectionists, white nationalists, etc.—for a domestic security force loyal to the president. The truth, my experience suggests, is perhaps even scarier: ICE’s recruitment push is so sloppy that the administration effectively has no idea who’s joining the agency’s ranks. We’re all, collectively, in the dark about whom the state is arming, tasking with the most sensitive of law enforcement work, and then sending into America’s streets.

And we are all, collectively, discovering just how deadly of an arrangement that really is.

I won't waste my time clicking the link or reading beyond the first few words as you do not have honest intentions. you don't agree with the actual job they do and wish to obstruct and undermine it, hence anything you offer is questionable at best

Of course you won't, Legina. Why would you want to educate yourself with facts when your Orange Jesus tweets you everything you need to know?
 
ICE recruits are showing up for training with disqualifying criminal backgrounds, report says.

New hires are reportedly failing background checks, drug tests, and open-book tests

"The Trump administration has aimed for hiring 10,000 ICE agents by next year, or roughly doubling its footprint, with a major boost to the agency’s Enforcement and Removal Operations division.

Critics have warned that hitting that 10,000 target — without adequate guardrails to screen future agents and know exactly who is filling those roles — the government could open the door to repeat past mistakes, as ICE faces intense legal scrutiny over allegations of abuse and illegal use of force as Trump surges federal officers into cities across the country.

“The loosening of hiring standards and training requirements is unacceptable and will likely result in increased officer misconduct — similar to or worse than what occurred during a small surge in hiring U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in the early 2000s,” Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin wrote to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem this week.

“Exacerbating our concerns, DHS has gutted offices responsible for overseeing ICE officers and ensuring accountability for use-of-force incidents,” he added. “Given these developments, greater congressional oversight of ICE’s hiring is essential.”

ICE recruits in training had disqualifying criminal backgrounds: report

New hires are reportedly failing background checks, drug tests and open-book tests

Yes, there are concerns that ICE is hiring unqualified individuals due to a rushed recruitment process, which has led to some recruits failing drug tests or having disqualifying criminal backgrounds before being admitted to training. This has raised alarms about the adequacy of their vetting and training standards.

Concerns About ICE Hiring Practices​

Background on Recruitment Surge​

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has recently undergone a significant hiring surge, adding approximately 12,000 new officers in less than a year. This rapid expansion was driven by the agency's goal to meet aggressive immigration enforcement targets, including a plan for 1 million deportations annually.

Issues with Vetting and Training​

Reports indicate that ICE has been fast-tracking recruits into training without completing necessary background checks. Some recruits have been found to have failed drug tests or possess disqualifying criminal backgrounds. For instance, there have been cases where recruits with serious charges, such as robbery and domestic violence, were admitted to training.

Training Standards and Dismissals​

ICE has also shortened its training program from 13 weeks to just 6 weeks, raising concerns about the adequacy of preparation for new officers. Internal data shows that over 200 recruits have been dismissed during training for failing to meet basic standards, including physical and academic requirements. Many recruits have struggled with written exams, even with open-book testing.

Conclusion​

The combination of expedited hiring processes and reduced training standards has led to significant concerns about the qualifications of new ICE recruits. Critics argue that this could result in unqualified individuals being placed in positions of authority, potentially compromising public safety and the integrity of immigration enforcement.

There is no democrat that should be yammering about any "vetting". Fucking dunce.
 
If only you all had been this concerned about adequate vetting of people coming into this country illegally.... If that had been properly taken care of there would be no need to hire all these ICE agents....

It would result in even more dead Leftists. Outside of some leftist mass murderers, they don't like guns, remember? A civil war wouldn't go very well for Leftists.
