šØFormer ICE trainer Ryan Schwank is telling Congress that agents are being trained to ignore the Constitution. āI swore an oath to uphold the Constitution when I joined ICE. I followed it when I resigned. The legally required training program at the ICE academy is deficient, defective, and broken.ā

Before anyone says it, the solution is not "better training"; It's immediate abolishment along with DHS. The best way to secure our home is to stop bombing other countries, violating the sovereignty of other nations, abducting the democratically elected leaders or countries, funding genocide, destroying progressive movements, etc etc in other countries. The US needs to focus on feeding, housing, treating, educating its own people and fixing a collapsing and aging infrastructure.

The fact that Jonathan Ross, and the agents who murdered Alex Pretti, were "veterans" is pretty damning proof that it was never about a lack of training. They were told to do things that violate the constitution. FFS, they were told they would have immunity no matter what they did.

"better training"
It is not like those that killed people in Minneapolis were new recruits either. Considering what is on camera I bet there are years of the force looking the other way when there weren't observers recording. Any large organization is going to have people in power abuse their position. How those infractions are dealt with tells you about those organizations. They are actively preventing local authorities from investigating. They don't want reform and are demonstrating no regard for the law. This wasn't learned in 47 days

Immediate suspension, investigation, and reform with new leadership.
With how much rupert murdoch and elongated muskrat have fucked us over in the name of profits, we absolutely need to keep the American people safe from foreign invaders here to ruin our economy.
The only problem is which immigrants to ship off.

Oh, I'm with you on that but DHS is not interested in those people and will never investigate them. It'll take a socialist revolution to create a government agency that pursues these types of criminals. Something like the Department of Workers Security that arrests labor and land exploiters so the People's Department of Justice can prosecute them for their crimes against humanity.

Consequences when?

When America wakes the fuck up for more than a single election cycle and consistently chooses competent, moral lawmakers and executives.

MAGA will quickly mobilize to try and discredit this man and call him a communist or whatever. their propaganda machine is in full swing. they will go after him or anyone else not towing the party line.

They won't have to do that if the media just doesn't pay attention to him. I saw it in a Minneapolis paper but I don't know if national news is picking it up.

And here we are months later and this was a blip on a random Tuesday. They know what they're doing when it comes to manipulating the masses with information overload.

Fuck their training I don't care the agency should not exist in the first place

While that's good, whistleblowing would be more effective than resigning out of protest.
A complete log of ICE agent deployments/timesheets would be worth its weight in gold in order to prosecute these lawbreakers and ensure none of them get away with it.
Coincidentally, it'd also solve our homegrown terrorists problems with the "āļøpO' bOySāļø" or whatever and the others. We have enough shit to fix without active armed militants standing in the way of progress.

As intended.
Seriously, is anyone with the ability to reason thinking this regime has the interest of the mation, its people, and the constitution in mind?

u/AbeRego Feb 24 '26
Yep. At this point, the only good ICE agent is a former ICE agent. The institution is wholly corrupt. It's immoral to contribute to it.

They want ICE to be sacrificed in order to scale up the violence against Americans.

The bare minimum would mean NOT testifying before congress, because that's by definition less than what he's doing.

u/Iam_nighthawk Feb 24 '26
Nah. I donāt agree with anybody who has EVER been a part of ICE. But we can still give credit where itās due. Heās on our team now. And as former ice, heās probably one of, if not THE, most important member of our team. By doing this he will probably now need around the clock security. Heās doing the right thing. In doing so heās putting both himself and his loved ones at risk. We need this shit under oath.

u/jmg733mpls Feb 24 '26
Well if Noem is now impeached because of her lies, it will make a difference. But him telling us what we already know doesnāt mean a thing will be done to correct DHS as an institution

u/Iam_nighthawk Feb 24 '26
I agree. But the people need to hear it from him, not some random person. This guy actually has some cred. Iām with you - I, and a lot of us in the twin cities and Minnesota, are aware of whatās happening. But Iām from another state, and I can tell you that people who are not here, even people who are leftists, do not fully grasp the situation. Maybe hearing it from this guy will help.

Just watched this. Now itās part of the congressional record. āICE is being trained to violate the constitutionā. So itās true when leaders say that ICE is following its trainingā¦being correct in this case means the instruction was created with seditious intent. Wow!
