"Enforcing Prohibition with a massive new federal force of poorly trained agents didn’t go so well in the 1920s"

"The #VolsteadAct also exempted #Prohibition agents from civil service laws, which would have required job applicants to pass certain minimum standards. The exemption was written into the law because the prohibitionist lobby only trusted committed “drys” – people resolutely dedicated to maintaining an alcohol-free society – to do the enforcing, and they thought that they would control the appointments."

Sound familiar? #Trump #ICE #ICEout !
