Apparently Trump reduced ICE training from 5 months to 47 days because it is his 47th term.

This is why there is such a scourge of poor officers. Also, they don't seem to be doing background checks and ignoring positive drug results in an effort to push recruits through to meet the quotas.

I'd hope that ICE agents smoke cannabis regularly: it'll mellow them out, certainly much better for that than alcohol.

I watched the above video, and it was quite alarming. An ICE officer is arrested for DUI (with his kids in the car,) and while acting the way you expect, he starts questioning the nationality of the arresting police after he suspects one of the black officers of being Haitian.

It cuts to the heart of the issue, of ICE officers using race based observations.

Everyday it seems more and more videos are surfacing of ICE officers acting inappropriately. This may be due to the sudden surge to hire 30k agents in a few months leading to reduced standards/getting and high bonuses leading to many people taking the job for the wrong reasons.

It just seems to me we are entering a world where Federal Officers are using race as an observation method to find who to target.


Apparently ICE hasn't fired the officers from the OP. Kind of insane. Driving drunk (by 2x limit,) with 2 kids in the car. And, intimidating the local arresting officers.

But, ICE wants private citizens to lose their job for attending protests and posting officer info online. Kind of crazy.

Civil servants have lots more job protections than private industry workers. Most likely suspended without pay pending the outcome of his case.

He will be fired once he is convicted.

Two-thirds of the three million illegals deported under Obama did not have criminal records.

No one protested.

CNN even rode along on an ICE operation in 2015.

Under Trump, ICE is currently targeting illegals convicted of felonies ranging from child rape to homicide.

At his press conference yesterday, USBP Commander Bovino explained what ICE is doing in Minneapolis.

More than 10,000 criminal illegal aliens apprehended in Minnesota over the past year. 3,000 over the past six weeks in Minneapolis.

"These are individuals responsible for serious harm."

"Murderers, rapists, gang members."

Notice something different about the ICE operations in the CNN video? Notably, clearly identified and no masks. It was a different era of professionalism.

It’s just a natural response to protect individuals from ‘the violence from the left’. You think there won’t be some ‘peaceful protesters’ that will burn an ICE agent’s house down if given the opportunity?

It’s not cut and dried. Judge’s are at similar risk, but their names are known. Same with politicians. Even DA’s.

Pathetic excuse.

If they didn't wear masks today, you would still be opposed to ICE.

The protesters are wearing masks too.

Things are radically different today than they were ten years ago.

Today, ICE agents are being killed and assaulted. Protesters are shooting fireworks at them. Throwing frozen water bottles at them. Trying to run them over. Driving their cars into their vehicles.

Activists are doxxing ICE agents and there is an 8,000% increase in the number of death threats against them.

‘ICE List’ doxxing site alleges DHS whistleblower leaked identities of 4,500 agents'
'ICE List’s founder, who does not live in the U.S., said the leak includes 2,000 frontline immigration enforcement officers and about 2,500 employees in support roles'

Were more ICE agents killed in 2015 or 2025?
