    Sorry idr if this from source article or one linked in it:

    Training was slashed from 16 weeks to six, with sit-ups eliminated because recruits couldn’t handle them.

    These nazis are so fucking pathetic in every conceivable way lol

    it would be so much funnier if they weren’t destroying lives and killing people

        In my state the license to become a hair stylist is 7-8 times as long as it takes to become an ICE agent. It also takes about half as long to become a cop instead of a hair stylist. Which begs the should hair stylist get qualified/absolute immunity?

    The shooter is a 10+ year veteran of the agency. ICE has always been bad and filled with violent nationalists.

    Also, this is far more damning of our education system. It should be difficult to find and recruit that many illiterate people.

    So we fired hundreds of thousands of competent civil servants, including highly specialized scientists and doctors, and hired these stupid fucking losers?

    Awesome. Glad that waste, fraud, and abuse is gone I guess.

    “The explosive Daily Mail report…”

    Not to defend ICE or nothin’, but Daily Fail isn’t exactly known for accurate journalism…

    They offered lots of money to join ICE to the worst people. Why is this surprising? They wanted thugs, they got thugs, not Harvard grads.

    Damn, if only they were qualified, surely things would be better. Sorry, seriously who gives a shit at this point, these people are all nazi scum, i don’t care if they are fat and cannot read, the issue is what they are doing and what they believe.

    To boot, sex harassment accusations emerged, with a source describing to the Daily Mail predatory behavior during training.

    I went to nazi boot camp and they guys there were all nazis

    shocker

    I mean, if you can read and write, you can probably get a real job.

    Being a pedophile protector isn’t a real job. It’s a temporary job where you either get killed, arrested, or commit suicide.

      Considering all the dystopian models the USA is trying out, Idiocracy doesn’t seem that bad in comparison.

    USA recreating Hitlers SA “Brownshirts”

    "Hitler also relied on terror to achieve his goals. Lured by the wages, a feeling of comradeship, and the striking uniforms, tens of thousands of young jobless men put on the brown shirts and high leather boots of the Nazi Storm Troopers (Sturmabteilungen). Called the SA, these auxiliary policemen took to the streets to beat up and kill some opponents of the Nazi regime. "

    source

    These ICE thugs and their direct leaders should also turn a few more pages in a history book to find out what Hitler did to the SA brownshirts:

    “Night of the Long Knives, in German history, purge of Nazi leaders by Adolf Hitler on June 30, 1934. Fearing that the paramilitary SA had become too powerful, Hitler ordered his elite SS guards to murder the organization’s leaders, including Ernst Röhm. Also killed that night were hundreds of other perceived opponents of Hitler.”

    Why is that a bombshell? Most of these recruits probably came from terrorist cells like the Proud Boys, the Oathkeepers and other Nazi groups.

      What portion of that 21% considered illiterate are actually literate, but just not in English. I’m sure there are many who grew up in other countries and moved here but never bothered properly learning English. Like that would be like saying 1 in 5 people cannot use a phone, because surely they have to be able to read to know how to sign in to websites and search things, and I find it hard to believe that many Americans can’t use a cell phone
