ICE whistle‑blower says agency skipped basic vetting for recruits
In July, a new ICE agent with a history of domestic violence and mental illness killed a man in Maine who even ICE admits posed no threat to him. Now we know that internal whistleblowers at ICE were sounding the alarm about the agency utterly disregarding normal hiring rules.
Carly Goodman13I was told that extreme vetting, biometrics, background checks, paperwork, getting in line, coming the right way, navigating an obstacle course of surveillance and review, were all very important to the authorities
Rabbi Jill Zimmerman10I’d like to know how many J6ers have been hired as ICE agents
Michele (Good Trouble) Jansen7I'm shocked! Shocked I say!
noYOUhush6laws have always existed for picking up actual criminals, undocumented or otherwise 👉this is HeritageFoundation Project2025 fascism👈 🚫ICE
Gwen6Ironic that we expect background checks on simple foot soldiers after knowingly electing a fascist mis-leader
cameronpoe86.bsky.social5Imagine if a foreign advisory was able to install federal agents into our government in a position of complete immunity....
Karl Bode108I don't expect accountability for most Trump-era shit from this sorry sack ass country, but if we don't see broad, systemic accountability for this era of masked gestapo mass murder we need to burn the whole thing down
Sarah Goodyear40Going to say it for the millionth time, if you want to understand the society we live in now you need to understand domestic violence and abuse dynamics. We're soaking in it.
Mike Fragassi9When even *other* ICE agents are appalled: JFC
calizaybak.bsky.social6The fascists want psycho monsters as they will follow the criminal orders with glee and can be thrown under buses when needed as they're disposable.
Deth Veggie3The gestapo must be destroyed by any means necessary.
Francis Wilkinson 2Aside from the numerous murders and other crimes committed by Trump and his flunkies, you have to wonder if there are any vital national security secrets that haven't been shared with Russia, China and who knows who.

SCOOP: An ICE whistleblower report obtained by the NYT said ICE was cutting corners, violating the law and fast-tracking unqualified, “improperly vetted” candidates into ICE’s ranks, part of a dangerous move that exposed the agency to “grave national security risks.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/03/u...
wharf rat19half of these ICE agents probably have restraining orders out against them from their domestic partners
As long as they are willing and able to arrest voters during midterms, they are “fit for duty”.
Seth Langner1It's almost as if I.C.E is not acting in the interests of the American people. I wonder in whose interests they are acting then? Probably ANTIFA.
Leonardo1We didn’t need a whistleblower to tell us that
Priscilla Raisin1Never for a moment I thought that ICE would follow any type of rules/regulations or laws. It wasn’t built, in Trump regim, to do that. A thug needs thugs to eliminate anyone perceived as “enemy”. I’m sorry that the police was dragged into this. Hey, they have personal political views too
Doe Bee Doe Bee Doe1Confirming what @laurajedeed.bsky.social already told us.
Hare 🍉6Trump is waging war against peaceable, productive people with an army of dimwitted creeps
MB3The ICE agent that murdered Johan Sebastian Guerrero in Maine is a textbook example of this. David Brouillette has a history of untreated bipolar disorder, domestic violence, and couldn’t hold down a job due to his behaviors and they handed him a gun without a second thought.
Marta Jewson3When LSP stopped a man on my block I asked if they were conducting an immigration operation. The officer basically asked why the hell I would think that. I'm surprised LEO agencies didn't speak up about the undermining the federal gov's conduct has caused to local depts.
Mike Rhone2I think it’s fair to say that the type of people who want to be ICE agents are exactly the people you don’t want as ICE agents.
If you didn't vote Dem, you helped make this:2Hard to understand "improperly vetted" at a time when FBI announced you can steal from your employer, pay a sheep to have sex with you, and still get hired as an agent.
Charles Mead2If people actually get to the polls, the new administration will have to strip down all federal law enforcement agencies; remove and rebuild. No excuses for being “too complex.” These organizations are now fundamentally flawed. And, yes, ICE as presently constituted must be wiped clean.
ICE Skipped Basic Checks in Rush for Recruits, Whistle-Blower Says www.nytimes.com/2026/09/03/u...
Glenn5Based on the number of innocent people ICE has shot to death, I’d say the lack of vetting is pretty obvious.
POSSIBLE EVIDENCE OF CENSORSHIP ON BLUESKY2If ICE skipped BASIC BACKGROUND CHECKS, such as LEGAL RECORDS CHECKS on recruits, then ICE’s senior officials could be be held ACCOUNTABLE for ICE’s many evident MURDERS & other CRIMES! They work for a sexual predator with 34-FELONY CONVICTIONS, who would NEVER be allowed in the military!
