I don't believe for a moment that they were vetted before. Or maybe I just have a different idea of vetting than whatever they were doing.
"Please list all your pieces of original Nazi memorabilia to help us determine your pay bracket."
"How many times a week do you discipline your wife and daughters?"
"How large is your truck?"
"Explain, in your own words, the degree to which you love Daddy Donald and why."
To many 2 list. Sieg heil.
Slap wife about every night.
I 'disciple' my daughter's every night as well. Hit me up if you wanna have a go ;-)
Both my trucks are yuge. My weekend truck is a bit bigger, I need help from my step~~daughter~~ladder to get in to it...but be that also be because I'm not fit as I wunz was. I'm not fat, only 315 pounds. The same as like my king fuhrer weighs.
I love him. He can also have go on my daughter's.
When do I start? I really want to shoot and torture them brownies!!
More thugs, new security bunker under the east wing... You'd think Trump knows a crash is coming. Cancelling SNAP seems to suggest he wants it to hit hard.
EDIT: Confirmed: https://www.thedailybeast.com/ice-stockpiling-warheads-and-chemical-weapons-as-lawmaker-fears-trump-planning-strike/
yet they can find an immigrant’s unpaid library late fee from 2001 in 90 seconds… weird….
Duh, even that South Park episode showed the "hiring" process 😉
Alternative headline: ICE has vetting practices.
Having a hard time labeling this story, either
Supremacy of the Military
Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
Or
Obsession with Crime and Punishment
Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
They were vetting? I figured you just had to have a pulse and be racist
That's how they got on the list in the first place. Apparently they're still trying to do some form of actual check after the fact. That'll end now that this came to light. Instead of fixing the problem, they'll just make it go away, by removing the piece that exposed the problem.
They're probably taking some of the lardasses from the Texas National Guard who were too fat to deploy....
I did have to LOL at one of the videos where either ICE or National Guard were chasing some guy and he outran them. Hilarious. They were clearly not up for the challenge of some light jogging.
There was also a pick of a few of them unloading and I’m pretty sure only one of them might have been less than obese.
What's the issue? It's not like they're going to get proper training anyway. How hard is "put on a mask" and "terrorize civilians with guns" ?
Police: six 6 weeks academy.
ICE: a Kristi Noem pep talk video and steroids.
The reality is (and this is expected/wanted by the administration) ICE is mostly looking for pro trump/Nazi individuals. They really do not care about most other requirements. And for the most part those individuals will be successful in this as its primarily about fear, annoyance, and revenge
You mean Jeffrey Epstein's BEST FRIEND is sending UNVETTED, MASKED, ANONYMOUS MEN WITH CRIMINAL BACKGROUNDS to Kidnap Children and take them to Secret and Hidden Locations? GOOD! Not EXCUSE ME while I go Check out Pizza Parlors for Child sex trafficking!
They vet ICE agents?
No
Oh, apparently "full vetting" means just drug tests and basic physical/academic standards.
Are they doing anything to filter out total psychopaths and Nazis?
Filter out? Certainly not.
These are features not bugs.
😯
What a surprise.
