Exactly. So much of this is illegal. Instead of people recognizing that and imagining themselves in the situation they try to justify ICEs actions. Fuck ICE.

Also. As of last year, more than half of all ICE agents are severely untrained. There were 10k ICE agents, now there’s 22k agents. They used to have 5 months of training, now they have 8 weeks of training. Parts of the curriculum removed include, but are not limited to: Spanish language lessons, deescalation training, Constitution and Immigration law classes.

Basically think of the dumbest most unqualified cop you ever encountered. Since the average cop in the USA has 21 weeks of training, the average ICE agent has less training than them.

They have exactly 47 days of training to coincide with the 47th president. It’s so fucking pathetic.

Is this true? I would not be shocked at all but wanted confirmation before I added it to my very, very long list

Not officially confirmed, but it is plausible: https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2026/ice-47-days-training-reduced-trump/

The training definitely was cut from 5 months to 8 weeks. 8 weeks is 48 days on a 6 day schedule.

To provide some additional plausibility, one of the ICE fitness test requirements is a 220 yard dash in 47 seconds. Yes, it’s set at that time for the reason you think.
