Last week, ex-ICE agent Ryan Schwank gave a pretty damning testimony about ICE training cuts in front of the Senate. I am here because I am dutybound to report that the legally required training program at the ICE Academy is deficient, defective and broken. For the last five months, I watched ICE dismantle the training program, cutting 240 hours of vital classes from a 584-hour program. Classes that teach the Constitution, our legal system, firearms training, the use of force, lawful arrests, proper detention and the limits of officers’ authority.” Schwank made accusations that his ICE supervisors gave him blatantly illegal orders and coerced him into following them. “I was instructed to read and return a memo in my supervisor’s presence which claimed ICE officers could enter homes without a judicial warrant. Incredibly, I was being shown this memo in secret by my supervisor who made sure that I understood that disobedience could cost me my job.” Separately from the documents informing the Post’s reporting, Democrats released DHS documents that also indicated disturbing changes and reductions to ICE’s training programs. Of course, at the time, DHS denied Schwank’s claims, saying, “Despite false claims from the media and sanctuary politicians, no training hours have been cut.” However, they followed that up with claims that ICE training had been “streamlined…without sacrificing basic subject matter content.” It didn’t add up then, and it’s definitely not adding up after a recent article from the Washington Post that corroborates Schwank’s story. The Post found “previously unreported records,” which have yet to be disclosed, that “offer new details about what was cut from ICE’s basic training program." And that already sounds different from the picture DHS was trying to paint. As Schwank testified, the Post reports that ICE “removed about 240 hours from its basic training program,” which is “more than 40 percent of instructional time,” and the public has noticed.The Post says that most of the cuts happened in August, right around the time that Pam Bondi directed law enforcement in the nation’s capital to cooperate with immigration enforcement to protect their city from what she calls this dangerous “proliferation of illegal aliens.” —————————— Produced by: Cory Ray, Philip DeFranco Edited by: James Girardier, Maxwell Enright, Julie Goldberg, Christian Meeks, Matthew Henry Art Department: William Crespo Writing/Research: Victor Sledge, Philip DeFranco ———————————— #ICE #USA #America
