ICE whistleblower testifies to Congress about minimal training​

A whistleblower from Immigration and Customs Enforcement testified at a congressional forum Monday that the agency is “lying to Congress and the American people” about its training of new recruits.

Ryan Schwank — an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned this month — testified that the agency’s training program “is now deficient, defective, and broken.”

“Without reform, ICE will graduate thousands of new officers who do not know their constitutional duty, do not know the limits of their authority, and do not have the training to recognize an unlawful order,” he said.
New documents provided by Blumenthal’s office by an unidentified whistleblower provide more insight into how, exactly, the training protocol has changed. (Blumenthal’s staff could not confirm whether it was Schwank or another anonymous whistleblower who reached out to their office last month that provided the images of the syllabus.)

The documents — which appear to be images of the syllabus for the agency’s basic immigration enforcement training program — suggest that more than a dozen practical exams have been eliminated for enforcement removal operations officers, including exams in “judgment pistol shooting” and “criminal encounters.”

The agency also appears to have cut courses in “use of force simulation training” and legal trainings on “criminal vs. removal proceedings,” among other topics, from the training curriculum, the documents indicate. And they suggest that, contrary to acting ICE Director Todd Lyons’ testimony to Congress earlier this month, new ICE officers receive 250 fewer hours of training compared to prior recruits.

After what we have all witnessed on videos this has an undeniable ring of truth to it. Not only has the lack of training lead to an inability to "recognize an unlawful order," it apparently has left federal agents without the training to recognize lawful orders as well.

DOJ acknowledges violating dozens of recent court orders in New Jersey​

The Trump administration acknowledged violating court orders issued by New Jersey’s federal judges more than 50 times over the past 10 weeks in cases stemming from the Trump administration’s mass deportation push.

Associate Deputy Attorney General Jordan Fox, who was tapped in December to help lead the Justice Department’s New Jersey office after temporary pick Alina Habba was forced out, said those violations were spread across more than 547 immigration cases that have flooded the courts since early December, straining both prosecutors and judges.

So the guy has an opinion, you label him a whistleblower so there seems like some truth to it. You nutters are so TDS infected.

 

[kyzr]

So what law was broken?

Just an FYI, if an ICE recruit had basic law enforcement training, he didn't need to repeat that training.

His testimony has credibility given what we have seen. Essentially, it's confirmation of what was suspected. Namely, the rush to get new recruits out in to the field due to the magnitude of ICE's operations resulted in training corners being cut.

BTW, he is a whistleblower which is why the article refers to him as such.

Are you capable of holding the regime accountable for anything?

Schwank's testimony should result in a full blown congressional investigation by the House and Senate. But it won't. Because R's are enabling the regime's lawlessness and incompetence.

No one was "inadequately trained". That was one man's opinion.

If Biden has not had open borders, the biggest national security disaster in history, ICE would not have to chase down those `12,000,000 illegals, including over 400,000 convicted criminals, over 13,000 convicted murderers, and hundreds of terrorists, including ISIS. Not to mention the 166,000 Chinese and 125,000 Russians.
So can you hold Biden's disastrous 4-years accountable for disaster after disaster after disaster?

Looks like ICE's thinning of the voter ranks through deportation is having enough of an effect that the white liberals are badly in need of a court friendly style breaking system before the elections.

I don’t know what MAGA is for or against. My view is just because a person is labeled a whistleblower, that doesn’t make them honest in what they claim. I am still of the old school of needing hard evidence.
