Fake news release to cover for that article where they signed up that reporter with no vetting or processing.
Yeah. Apparently after she published that on Slate, DHS took to social media calling her a liar, insisting it was all untrue, and she replied with "You sure about that?" and a video showing her ICE job offer and onboarding date while logged into their site. The recap and update is on The Guardian for whoever's interested.
The key question is: what would training have taught them? I doubt it's "Not behaving like a post-democratic regime enforcement thugs"
The creation of ICE just boggles my mind. ‘Lets give some poorly educated chuds a bogus 4 week online course, then give them guns and a mandate to detain whoever they see fit, what could possibly go wrong?’
What the fuck were they thinking? Honestly it’s a miracle not more people have been killed yet.
Edit: And let’s give it a cringy abbreviation a 12 year old would think sounds cool to boot.
I think they were thinkin "what's the fastest way we can get brownshirts on the street to whip up popular resentment and resistance so we can then implement martial law to consolidate and perpetuate our power?"
You can thank W. Bush.
I hate to defend a war criminal but "Dubya" was probably the last president to have good ideas regarding immigration. He wanted to formalize seasonal work visas, streamline the path to residency and citizenship, and all sorts of stuff. Immigration wasnkind of his theme for a long time (since he was governor of Texas). It mostly got derailed by 9/11, but he at least have cohesive ideas on the matter. Everyone since has just been fuck up after fuck.
ICE isn't new, it was created back in 2003 when the Department of Homeland Security was created post-9/11.
The lack of any training... that's new.
If you want the real reason why the standards are so low for ICE, I highly recommend watching Mussolini: Son of the century.
Oh no, they won't be well-trained like murderer Jonathan Ross, 10 year veteran of ICE!
Organization that has experienced immense pressure from above to dramatically increase and speed up their recruitment and has been given clear indication from overhead that they can get away with almost anything may have cut a few corners in their training and personnel selection criteria. ... You don't say?
They might as well blame it on AI. Heck, i wouldn't be surprised if this problem was at least partially caused by AI, come to think of it
Wow, if we take them at their word the fash are terrible at their jobs and should never have been allowed into office.
MAGA will ultimately be brought down by their own virtuosic incompetence. The only problem is the damage they'll do along the way, so we have to hasten their fall in every way possible.
