Citing an “unprecedented lowering of standards,” the career #ICE ofcl said that “systemic breakdowns” had allowed applicants to receive job offers before they had passed basic fingerprint‼️, identity or credit checks in a preliminary vetting process. Political appointees had unjustly skirted background investigations & received #NationalSecurity eligibility.

In the wake of a hiring surge last summer, an official in charge of evaluating new recruits to #ICE issued a dire warning.
The #Trump admin, he wrote in a memo, was cutting corners, violating the #law & fast-tracking unqualified, “improperly vetted” candidates into ICE’s ranks, part of a dangerous move that exposed the agency—& its law enforcement operations—to “grave national security risks.”

… “The concern here is that #ICE is going above & beyond to guarantee law enforcement does not have even the slightest risk of #liability for violating Americans’ rights while helping ICE arrest people,” said David Bier, director of #immigration studies at the Cato Institute, who has called on #Congress to make it easier to sue ICE agents for wrongdoing.

Following the back-to-back fatal #shootings [ #murders ] of a Colombian native in Maine & a Mexican man in Houston by #ICE, the Trump admin has tried to shift the blame onto Democratic leaders who have been educating #immigrants on their #rights.

2 bankruptcies & 6 law enforcement jobs in 3 years. An allegation of #lying in a police report to justify a #felony charge against an innocent woman—an incident that led to a $75,000 settlement & criticism of his integrity. A 3rd job candidate once #failed to graduate from a police academy, then lasted only 3 weeks in his only job as a police officer.

#HumanGarbage #Bovino suggests #AlexPretti was a victim of "heated rhetoric" criticizing #ICE
#CBP Commander-at-Large #GregBovino suggested Sunday that Pretti was a victim of “heated rhetoric,” arguing that political criticism of federal #immigration agents may have helped place Pretti in a deadly confrontation — despite offering no evidence that Pretti assaulted or threatened officers.

The #Army placed the units on prepare-to-deploy orders in case “violence” in #Minnesota escalates, officials said, characterizing the move as “prudent planning.” It is not clear whether any of them will be sent to the state, the officials said, speaking like some others on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive #military planning.

The mobilization comes after throngs of #demonstrators protested in the snow Friday night near the Bishop Henry #Whipple Federal Building in the #Minneapolis area.
“Stay safe & stay peaceful today,” #TimWalz urged the public in a social media post Saturday. “Our public safety team has the resources, coordination, & personnel on the ground to maintain public safety & respond if needed. Thanks to local law enforcement for keeping the peace.”

US Dist Judge #SaraEllis blasted the approach, restricted the #UseOfForce & ordered #Bovino to appear before her for daily check-ins. An appellate court later put a hold on those restrictions & called off the daily meetings, & the plaintiffs in the underlying case moved to dismiss it after Bovino & his team left last month.
Tricia McLaughlin, propagandist for #DHS, has insisted that #immigration enforcement efforts aren’t winding down in #Chicago.
-
US District Judge #SaraEllis wrote the footnote in a 223-page opinion issued last week, noting that the practice of using #ChatGPT to write #UseOfForce reports undermines agents’ credibility & “may explain the inaccuracy of these reports.” She described what she saw in at least one #BodyCamera video, writing that an agent asks ChatGPT to compile a narrative for a report after giving the program a brief description & several images.

Bowman, meanwhile, repeatedly accused Khojasteh of trying to hijack the proceedings with his drumbeat of objections & accusations….
“Stop it. Just stop it,” an exasperated Bowman told Khojasteh at one point. “You don’t need to give speeches.”
The transcript of #Bovino’s #deposition was made part of the court record…in an ongoing lawsuit accusing… #CBP & #ICE of routinely violating a restraining order issued by US Dist Judge Sara Ellis limiting #UseOfForce against #protesters & #media.

A judge’s decision to read a 111-yr-old poem in court before curbing federal agents’ #UseOfForce in #Chicago has brought fresh relevance to an iconic piece of local #literature.
In a ruling addressing actions by federal #immigration agents, US District Judge #SaraEllis last week recited #CarlSandburg’s 1914 composition “Chicago,” known for praising the town’s working-class roots & coining the “City of the Big Shoulders” moniker.

#DHS would not answer questions about whether the action violated #CBP’s #UseOfForce policy — which states that agents “should not use [pepper spray], & consider other force options” on small children, visibly pregnant people & “operators of motor vehicles” — or a Thursday preliminary injunction from US District Judge #SaraEllis restricting the use of “riot control weapons” against protesters or observers who pose no immediate threat, & without 2 warnings, among other restrictions.
