    Can we maybe stop linking to news outlets that are falling over themselves to pander to trump?

    If the story doesn’t show up anywhere other than Fox, CBS, OAN etc, then it’s probably just propaganda. If it does show up elsewhere, then link to elsewhere.

    I mean, a really easy way to not post links to CBS is to not go to CBS for news in the first place.

    As opposed to the meticulous and detail-oriented training the previous recruits have excelled in demonstrating?

    Seriously, up til now their training might have been: “If they have a face, aim for that place; Exercising their rights? That’s reason for fights.”

      Everyone wants to ignore the two who shot Pretti and Good were both over a decade with ICE and had like 30+ years between the two of them.

      It ain’t a new problem.

      The whole agency needs sunset.

    Seeing as both the high profile murders by ICE recently were committed by asshats agents who had been on the job for the better part of a decade, I would be tempted to say it’s not the new recruits (unless their actions are what the “defective” training is supposed to actually be - murder being a justified option)

    Considering the guys who shot Alex Pretti had about a decade and a half of experience between them… this is just saying “we know exactly what we are doing, and it’s intentional”

    I wish that these lawyers who are resigning “in protest” from these shit agencies would at least gum up the works a bit on the way out.

    It’s not like they don’t know how to bait out an easy ‘constructive dismissal’ case. Win or lose—make the people choosing to stay dedicate as much time and resources as possible to deal with your departure rather than enabling the fast march to total abandonment of due process by totally removing yourself as a wrench in the works.

    Make them fire you for refusing to carry out illegal orders. Claim wrongful termination. Waste their time on legal proceedings, not just the court of PR.

      Not really. I would prefer the Stormtrooper training. At least then, they would have missed Pretti and Good no matter how many times they fired at point blank range.

    This isn’t “defective” as they claim. It is exactly what they want. We already know from the Lyons memo that they are telling people to do illegal things and providing them with information they aren’t allowed to study. So in essence, ICE is making difficult for their hires to understand the job they are supposed to carry out. On top of that ICE is stupid enough to write memos detailing illegal things they are doing and reference court rules that say those things are illegal.

    The public endangerment is probably grounds enough for self defense in places like texass and louisianass - but there’s bigots enough they’ll feel comfy and at home a k lux mbrs. 😓🤮
