According to a new whistleblower complaint, ICE has compromised vetting and lowered standards in recruiting 12,000 new officers in 2026. > ICE’s human resources division was making final job offers before preliminary vetting steps had been completed, including fingerprints, identity verification and credit checks, the official’s complaint warned. > “This unprecedented lowering of standards sacrifices proper risk mitigation for expediency, placing DHS at risk of infiltration and insider compromise,” the official wrote in a memo to the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General dated August 2025. > **[ICE whistleblower warned of 'unprecedented lowering of standards' during...](https://apnews.com/article/ice-whistleblower-background-checks-vetting-hiring-spree-e480c4cd35d603537b0274419ae47b55)** > > A supervisor overseeing background checks warned last year that Immigration and Customs Enforcement was hiring scores of new officers without basic vetting, violating federal rules and putting the agency at risk of misconduct. ---

According to ProPublica, ICE or other federal law enforcement have detained or arrested more than 500 US citizens. > More than 500 cases. That includes: > > More than a hundred Americans held after agents questioned their citizenship. Nearly all were people of color. > > At least 70 American children and teens detained, some of whom were handcuffed. > > Of the more than 300 Americans we tracked as detained for allegedly assaulting or obstructing agents, we found fewer than half were actually charged in federal court, and many of those cases were dropped or dismissed. > > At least 63 Americans detained while recording. > > 36 Americans held for at least a day without being able to contact a lawyer or their family. > > Roughly a dozen citizens deported, mostly children. > **[More Than 500 U.S. Citizens Have Been Detained, Including Handcuffed or Held...](https://projects.propublica.org/american-citizens-detained-dhs-civil-rights/)** > > The government doesn’t track how often immigration officers detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve found more than 500 Americans who were held against their will during this Trump administration. ---

And they just shot a guy in nyc with his 5 year old kid in the car. [https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/livestory/nyc-ice-shooting-dhs-mamdani-mullin-new-york-dominican-9.7375447](https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/livestory/nyc-ice-shooting-dhs-mamdani-mullin-new-york-dominican-9.7375447) CBC posted the nypd bodycam footage (which begins after the shooting, as the police arrived later). The first words you can hear on the police footage is “he’s got a gun”, which makes one suspect the ICE agents looked like random thugs, and not like law enforcement. ---

This is all coming from the racist fascists that fly the “Don’t Tread on Me” flag. Those concentration camps are horrific, BTW. They pack people in, leave the lights on all the time, there’s a TV blaring all the time, they can’t contact a lawyer, friends, family. They’re not getting their medication. People are disappeared for days or weeks and their families don’t know if they’re alive or dead, or hustled off to some random country in Africa or Central America. This is a stain on this country that won’t wash off for a long, long time. ---

Reports emerging that the immigrant who was the target of the enforcement action that broke the legs of another immigrant, died 9 years ago. His family produced a death certificate and photos that match the ICE warrants. So ICE chased down and ran over the wrong guy, for nothing. No wonder they are trying to hustle him out of the country. 🤦‍♂️🤡💩 > **[Immigrant ICE was seeking when its agent hit a man with its SUV has been dead...](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/immigrant-ice-was-seeking-agent-hit-man-suv-dead-2017-family-says-rcna603899)** > > An immigrant rights group is calling for ICE to “come clean” about its pursuit of Jose Parra Hernández and to release bodycam video.
