Judgement Of Character
Listened to the radio program below.
Got to 24:20 mm:ss before things clicked.
Former ICE attorney Ryan Schwank had joined George W. Bush's newly formed DHS in 2001. Because he felt it was the right thing to do.
Then I realised I'd misjudged this gently spoken, well educated, son of a Guatemalan migrant.
Seeing now I've been so pickled in a para-fascist culture that I can't pick a fascist.

Whistleblower: ICE Has Slashed Its Training Program And Its Boss Is Lying To Congress About It

One key part of Mr. Schwank's testimony is how he describes the pressures inside of ICE to go from hiring+training 500 cops per year to the 3.6k they did in 2025.
This has led to graduating EVERY trainee cop no matter how badly the failed in academic training exercises or preliminary real world patrols.
According to Schwank, legal instructors like him used to be able to fail a student and if the failed exams/training twice they could be kicked out.

FactPost: ”Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority”
