Why do we have such low standards for ICE hiring and training?

That’s why Kristi puts neo Nazi street gang slogans on her podium.

I'm as liberal as they come but I fact checked that and it's not true. Please stop peddling false information like the other side does.

That being said, Noem is reprehensible and I hope she goes soon.

“ The sign on Kristi Noem's podium reads "One of ours, all of yours." The reader will recall that this was a fascist rallying cry in the Spanish Civil War. What it means is that one of "our" people is worth all of "your" people.
The question is, who is "us" and who is "you?" The sign on the podium also gives the DHS website, so it's reasonable to conclude that "us" is the DHS, and "you" is "the citizenry."

We have low standards for people who come in to the country, and low standards for those who would deport them.

We give guns to people who enter the USA?

Ok, can we just keep the ones coming in and deport the people awful enough to work for ICE? Seems like a huge net gain.

Isn't part of the job description for ICE to NOT be too "nice" aka professional, courteous, not dumb, not cautious? I actually think that their recruits fulfill the "skillset" and ideal traits for the ICE of today's responsibilities.

Not suggesting that this is right - it's terrible - but just saying - I think it's what is desired

They want loyal goons. The more useless and powerless they are out outside of the MAGAsphere, the better. The less options they have, the less likely they will stand up for the rule of law.

Low standards because it's run by a low-intelligence individual.

I mean...

Kristi Noem: “We can't trust our government anymore.”

Bash: “You are the government.”

Noem: “Yes, that’s what I’m saying.”

I work for a hospital that has an ER with a metal detector, but plenty of hospitals do not and are having to subdue patients not even knowing if they have a weapon. Also FWIW, medications like Haldol are not immediately effective, require coming at a combative patient with a sharp needle while someone holds them down, and may require multiple doses before the patient is subdued.

And yet, there accepted standards and culture healthcare. You do NOT curse at patients. Ever. Cussing out a patient could get you fired whether you are a doctor, nurses aide or hospital security. You don't punch them in the head. Choke holds are banned. Force and restraint are used if necessary, but under the concept of "nonmaleficence" to prevent harm. And yes, there are some horrific examples of violence toward healthcare workers which is worsening over time and speak to a need for increased screening and protection of staff. Our hospital security officers carry guns and we have had shooting scares - someone pulled a gun in the ER or the ICU, etc.

But when I see videos of ICE, it is just jarring. There are zero standards for professionalism, appears to be zero training on how to deescalate a situation. While most of our hospital ecurity are excellent, as a nurse manager, I once kicked a new hospital security officer off of my unit because they were so arrogant and confrontational, they made a bad situation worse. I think of that when I see ICE.

Shouldn't even Republicans want to have basic professionalism standards and adequate training for federal officers?

"we" don't have these low standards. DHS/Noem/trump have the low standards...because they want racist dumb idiots do their illegal bidding

The ideal candidate for that job would be a violent white supremacist, preferably a pardoned J6 felon with a grudge, who they can just hand a gun to without all the bother of training and professional standards.

This is the truth. They were never meant to be anything but thugs in Trump 2.0. Maybe they were different before, but not under Miller. That is why they need to be abolished and immigration enforcement put back under Borders and Customs. And then THEY need a lot more training and accountability.

Maryland is toying with the idea of banning ICE agents hired after 1/20/25 from state employment.
