ICE whistleblower reveals 'terrifying' warning as untrained Trump recruits unleashed
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
A whistleblower revealed a "terrifying" warning about President Donald Trump's new immigration force recruits during an interview on CNN. Ryan Schwank, a former Immigration and Customs Enforcement trainer, told CNN's Jake Tapper on Wednesday that ICE's decision to reduce its training standards for new recruits is already having disastrous impacts. He warned that those impacts will likely get worse as new recruits are required to pass fewer training courses than their veteran peers. He pointed to the death of Alex Pretti as an example, arguing that the officers involved in that shooting were trained under the old ICE guidelines. "What's happening at the academy should terrify everyone because the officers involved in those events were trained before the academy reduced its standards," Schwank said. "Those officers had the full training that they're not giving anymore." "So, what my big concern is and what I think everyone should be concerned about, is that the new officers who are graduating will be less likely to behave correctly, less likely to know how to apply force, less likely to know the constitution than the officers you've seen in these videos," he added. "It's the new officers who are coming out, who are adrift and cut off from that."
