"ICE had eliminated 240 hours of "vital classes" from a mandatory 580-hour training program, including instruction about the legal boundaries for the use of force, how to safely handle firearms, and the proper way to detain and arrest immigrants."

Now like the FBI, there will be a medley of investigators with different levels of training in ICE. New FBI S/As who completed the abbreviated eight-week course and may not have a college degree are working alongside S/As with law or accounting degrees who graduated the rigorous 16-week academy at Quantico, VA.

There is no "fixing" or "reforming" DHS and ICE other than dismantling them altogether starting on 20 Jan 2029 and restoring INS to strictly deal with migrants who will bring them before Immigration Judges (IJs) for due process and not hasty deportations.

*** "Alligator Alcatraz" Too Expensive to Maintain and Will Be Shuttered ***

"Incompetent Florida Governor Ron DeSatan (R) is in talks with the demonic Trumpf junta to shut down the Alligator Alcatraz migrant concentration camp. The immenese torture chamber, located in the heart of the Florida Everglades, was opened last summer and has reportedly cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars.

Junta apparatchiks at DHS have reportedly concluded that it is too expensive to keep operating this inhuman jungle Bastille."

The ICE recruits need more time to get off some of that belly fat. These thugs and goons can scarcely fit into their bullet proof vests, an the location of their sidearms is blocked by the rolls of fat around their waists.

Believe me, these ICE criminals will not be listed among those receiving presidential pardons, and will be open to prosecution come a change in presidential leadership...

IN THE MEANTIME, RELEASE THE TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES.

That's NICE!

Baby steps.

Now employ body cameras and proper judicial restraints and oversight.

And when you report on your progress to Congress leave your insult book at home.

1. End Roving Patrols and Enforce Warrant Requirements
2. End Agent Masking and Enforce Identification
3. Mandatory Body Cameras and Uniform Conduct Code

It's not rocket science.

Do they need training?

Just give them their masks and guns and let them get out there and kill Americans!
