#Trump put a premium on swift action, & for #ICE that meant rapid-fire recruitment & hiring, which in turn led to new employees with questionable qualifications. Their backgrounds & training have come under scrutiny after numerous high-profile incidents in which ICE agents used #ExcessiveForce.

Their common bond∶ All were hired recently by US #Immigration & Customs Enforcement during an unprecedented hiring spree — 12,000 new officers & special agents to double its force — after the agency received a $75 billion windfall from #Congress to enact Trump’s #MassDeportation campaign.

2 bankruptcies & 6 law enforcement jobs in 3 years. An allegation of #lying in a police report to justify a #felony charge against an innocent woman—an incident that led to a $75,000 settlement & criticism of his integrity. A 3rd job candidate once #failed to graduate from a police academy, then lasted only 3 weeks in his only job as a police officer.

#ICE went on a hiring spree. Sterling credentials were not required, AP investigation finds

Their backgrounds stand out. And not in a good way.

ICE went on a hiring spree. Sterling credentials not required

Some new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers started working before passing background checks and had problems in their past. ICE announced in January that it completed an unprecedented hiring spree, adding 12,000 officers and agents to double its force. Their mission is to help carry out President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign. But the speed with which they were brought on to the payroll, to jobs considered important for national security, has raised alarm. The Associated Press found one new ICE hire had filed for bankruptcy twice and worked for six law enforcement agencies in three years. Another was accused of lying in a police report to justify a felony charge against an innocent woman. A third quit his only prior policing job after three weeks.

The federal govt had access to that video within hours of the #shooting on Jan 14, the #Minneapolis police chief said. Yet prosecutors did not watch the footage, an official said, until nearly 3 weeks after they filed charges against the 2 men.

“Bare #DueDiligence would have shown that the agents were lying,” Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis said in a recent interview, shortly after he watched the video for the first time.

The video contradicts the agent’s claim that 3 assailants had beaten him with a shovel & broom for roughly 3 minutes before he opened fire. Instead, the confrontation depicted in the video lasts about 12 seconds & shows 2 men struggling with the agent. It shows no sustained attack with a shovel.

That version of events began unraveling when prosecutors dropped felony charges against the injured man, Julio C. Sosa-Celis, & one of his housemates, Alfredo A. Aljorna, who had fled from #immigration agents.

Yet video footage of the #shooting, newly obtained by NYT, raises questions about why it took weeks for the government’s case to fall apart.
