States passing laws disqualifying former DHS employees including ICE from city county and state employment,

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow

You don't even know the proposed law
It's about state government agencies NOT being allowed to hire any person who was gainfully employed working for he federal government

Critics argue that barring individuals based solely on their previous lawful employment is a form of viewpoint discrimination and could violate equal protection clauses. Legal experts suggest that such measures, which target employees based on the administration under which they served, could face successful legal challenge

But you would be supporting this
It's a slippery slope
Think about how it will backfire
Next they will block what group of people ?
Didn't think you were this uneducated and misinformed

@Heartlander I agree

@nudistsueaz not hiring people with criminal or traffic records may be construed as discrimination by that same argument. Such policies are no different.

@Alabamarednek No, not the same but good try

@Alabamarednek

are you even a US citizen ?

As of late 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has faced scrutiny regarding the vetting of its new recruits during a massive hiring surge, though there is no official number of "felons" hired. Internal data and reports from late 2025 indicate:
Background Check Failures: In October 2025, it was reported that some new recruits showed up for training with criminal backgrounds, including prior charges for strongarm robbery and battery related to domestic violence.
Dismissals: By October 2025, more than 200 recruits had been dismissed during the summer hiring surge. However, internal data showed that fewer than ten of these dismissals were specifically for criminal charges, drug tests, or safety concerns; the vast majority were dismissed for failing to meet physical or academic standards.
Vetting Lapses: Reports highlighted that some recruits were allowed to begin training without having submitted fingerprints for background checks, which is a violation of ICE's standard hiring policy.
Hiring Surge Context: This occurred as ICE attempted to rapidly onboard 10,000 new officers by 2026, supported by a significant budget increase and a $50,000 signing bonus that attracted over 200,000 applicants. To accelerate this, the agency shortened its training program from 13 weeks to 6 weeks.
While these reports confirm that individuals with criminal records were present among recruits, the agency's official policy remains that applicants must pass rigorous background checks to be hired as sworn law enforcement officers.


Can you produce any actual numbers/data on your statement ?????

@pdockal Lol. Nice own goal. Your own copy/paste job proves my point that ICE has pathetic standards and are little more than thugs.

Did you even read what you posted?

And their excuse is they want to skip vetting for numbers? What a joke.

But we both know you will lick their boots.


Oh and basic training requirements for law enforcement is public record. The US has the lowest training requirements in the developed world.

And that was before ICE decided to lower standards to 47 days. And it is 47 days because Trump is the 47th president according to the agency itself. This is a total clown show just like the "leadership".
