ICE Is Hiring Literally Anybody, and It’s Terrifying

"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:



Geez, I dunno. Sub-Cabinet posts?


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



It’s easier to pull toddlers and abuelas out of bed in the middle of the night, I guess."

They wouldn't hire you, Comrade Insurrectionist.

Obviously absolutely nothing you claim has even a hint of truth to it.

 

[QP!]

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.

This will never come to a stop unless a future Dem Potus uses the same tactics against Red States and then this SC would quickly rule to shut it down.

Otherwise it will just stop being done by future Dem Potus but remain a template and norm a future Magat type Potus can start up again, if they want to, as there will be no rulings against it and precedent they can point to showing it was done prior.

That is why i want a future Dem Potus to declare a 'War on illegal Guns' and use EO's to start Nation wide (Red State) inspections and confiscations of all illegal guns.


And then use the same ICE tactics on citizens in Red States.

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.”

I call them Gestapo thugs for a reason, and it seems my reasoning had pinpoint accuracy. What's next, they going to hire gang members?

It's Congress that needs to stop this, not another face at the top.

The problem of money in politics, the floodgates opened by SCOTUS Citizen's United, can be resolved by Congress....but they haven't done so.

The problem of Trump's trampling of the Constitution can be resolved by Congress....but they haven't done so.

Another face in the Oval Office, no matter how great, good and gracious, won't change anything if Congress doesn't grow a spine. To do that means Americans have to grow a collective spine and demand Congress do their job, not continually let nefarious forces continue to divide us.

Why not apply and turn the agency into a bunch of unicorn riding fairies.
BTW, you are very easy to dislike.

 

[Dutch Uncle]

Exactly.

The good news is that this isn't a European country with two thousand years of history laying down for a King or, in the 20th Century, a dictator.

We're a nation with a history of fighting against tyranny, monarchies, and dictators. We're also a nation with more guns than people.

IMHO, this won't end well for those seeking to overthrow our Republic and our Constitution.

Its the leftist gang members who are the very people ICE is going after.

this Supreme Court has proven they do not GAF what laws Congress passes and will simply invalidate them for partisan reasons. So while i wish Congress could simply pass a law i see no way this SC lets is stand if the right gains partisan gain by cancelling it.

You only need look how thin the reasoning was that they denied Biden cancelling Student Loan debt despite congress giving an explicit and clear law that allowed a POTUS to do in response to 'national emergency' which covid was.

The SC ruled that 'whatever the POTUS deemed necessary' as granted by Congress did not SPECIFICALLY say he could 'cancel', despite any and all logic saying that is INCLUDED in what a POTUS might 'deem necessary', which was the latitude granted to the POTUS by Congress. but the SC basically said since Congress did not say the words 'cancel' explicitly it was not allowed. this is stupid. If Congress wants to give a blanket right by law, the SC should not be able to declare any and all proviso's not specifically laid out can then be cancelled or denied.

AI Summary:

The law at issue in the Supreme Court case Biden v. Nebraska (June 30, 2023) was the Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students (HEROES) Act of 2003 — a statute Congress enacted after 9/11 that gives the Education Secretary authority during war or national emergencies.


Key language from the HEROES Act (as interpreted by the Supreme Court):

The Secretary “may waive or modify any statutory or regulatory provision applicable to the student financial assistance programs under the Education Act as the Secretary deems necessary in connection with a war or other military operation or national emergency.”
— 20 U.S.C. § 1098bb(a)(1) and quoted in Biden v. Nebraska majority opinion.

What the Supreme Court Held​

In Biden v. Nebraska, the Supreme Court upheld that the HEROES Act exists and that it allows some waiver/modification authority, but that it does not authorize a sweeping debt forgiveness program.

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.

What? We should use merit when hiring? We shouldn't give a job to a person that has been convicted of a crime? A chance at a great federal job denied by a system that can't acknowledge that a person has paid the price for his or her crime? Just because someone can't pass a written test, that should disqualify a person? Maybe they are bad at testing, right? I can't believe a libtard is concerned about these things. I think we should give written tests to all federal employees now and anyone that can't pass them, eliminate that position all together. If someone that stupid has been doing the job, the job isn't important enough to remain, right?

LOL. of course, this whole argument is assuming your sources are correct and truthful. That's a big problem. Is the author of this click-bait article a reliably accurate and trustworthy? Are the claims backed up by verifiable sources? Does this have anything to do with the recent tragedy? No, no, and no. The idiot that wrote this garbage is a hardcore radical left-wing nutcase, there are no verifiable sources, and the guy that shot Renee Good was highly trained and experienced, so this has nothing to do with the insurrectionist getting shot. It's nothing more than a fantasy written in story form that heavily relies on the authors credibility, as usual.

That's the point; Congress has to get on the right side of history here. <---pun intended.

SCOTUS can only rule on cases brought before them. Congress can pass as many new laws as they like and it would take years for them to work their way through to SCOTUS if a large majority, meaning 2/3s or more, stand for the laws.

As Dred-Scott proved, just because SCOTUS rules on something doesn't mean it's over and done forever.

Ya I agree with what you say, but just as with Student loan forgiveness SCOTUS will play goalie and just keep invalidating laws in areas of partisan importance not GAF that they have no Constitutional power to do so.

It is why packing the Court has to be priority one should the Dems get the power to do so.

Again, a divided Congress sat on their asses and punted to SCOTUS. This is not new and has been going on longer than Trump stopped raping little girls.

Packing the Court just sets off an Arm's Race for the next Republican President. The solution remains, as it should be, with the American people. Even if this includes a day of rage where they shoot every raging MAGAt they know in the head. Better, IMO, that We, the People, encourage Congress to do their job.

The cracks are already starting to show. Trump's prosecution of the Fed is a biggy. Before, Pedo Don's actions only affected the Middle-Class and the poor. Now it's affecting the rich and they are growing concerned.
