Meet Ryan Schwank, ICE Whistleblower Who Exposed Agency’s Unconstitutional Practices
Democracy Now! is joined by Ryan Schwank, an ICE whistleblower who has been speaking out about how the agency drastically slashed its training standards for new officers. Schwank worked as an ICE lawyer and legal instructor in Georgia until he resigned last month. Schwank says he received secretive orders to teach ICE trainees to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant. He also speaks about how violent arrest tactics by ICE agents, like those seen in Minneapolis, should only be employed in certain circumstances: “Those things should only be done as an act of necessity, when it’s the choice between the public’s safety and the use of force on the individual.”

Listened to the radio program below.
Got to 24:20 mm:ss before things clicked.
Former ICE attorney Ryan Schwank had joined George W. Bush's newly formed DHS in 2001. Because he felt it was the right thing to do.
Then I realised I'd misjudged this gently spoken, well educated, son of a Guatemalan migrant.
Seeing now I've been so pickled in a para-fascist culture that I can't pick a fascist.

Techdirt [Unofficial]Whistleblower: ICE Has Slashed Its Training Program And Its Boss Is Lying To Congress About It
nullagentOne key part of Mr. Schwank's testimony is how he describes the pressures inside of ICE to go from hiring+training 500 cops per year to the 3.6k they did in 2025.
This has led to graduating EVERY trainee cop no matter how badly the failed in academic training exercises or preliminary real world patrols.
According to Schwank, legal instructors like him used to be able to fail a student and if the failed exams/training twice they could be kicked out.
"ICE has trained agents to break the constitution" -Sen. Blumenthal
The long, slow, nagging arm of justice is at least getting some helpful whistle blowers now and US Senator's are working to build consensus to impose reforms on ICE.

@FactPost: ”Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority”
