Obviously. Also their recruiting brings in some awful people who should never be entrusted with a law enforcement job.
Schwank resigned from his job at an ICE academy in Georgia, and yesterday he testified before Congress
“on my first day, I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution, by entering homes without a judicial warrant. for the last five months, I watched ICE dismantle the training program, cutting 240 hours of vital classes from a 584-hour program. classes that teach the Constitution, our legal system, firearms training, the use of force, lawful arrests, proper detention, and the limits of officers’ authority. for example, they ceased all of the legal instructions regarding use of force. this means that cadets are not taught what it means to be objectively reasonable. the very standard which the law requires them to meet when deciding whether or not to use deadly force. our jobs as instructors are to teach them so well, that they can make split-second decisions about what they can and cannot do in life-or-death situations. yet in the name churning out an endless stream of officers, DHS leadership has dismantled the academic and practical tests the we need to know that cadets can safely and lawfully perform their job. all to satisfy an administration demanding that they train thousands of new officers before the end of the year.”

Yah, I read this and the cutting of training hours in half shows. So after we got money, we cut the training in half to pump out officers and grab em in the finest tradition of every authoritarian state in existence. We are now a 'papers please" state, creating our own Gulag, and as Alexander painted the picture for us - you can be walking down the street, a door opens. you are grabbed and disappeared. You can end up in an archipelago, shipped to different states, countries. I've got a feeling we aren't done with the horror stories too.
But I have to say, I was appalled to find out that cartels were advertising on social media in other countries that they would get you to the border for $30,000. I never want to see either thing, cartels advertising, or our gestapo grabbing and sorting out later, and ICE executions of watchers. We have failed. Reboot.
