All candidates are subject to months of rigorous training and selection at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center where they are trained in everything from deescalation tactics to firearms to driving training.
Homeland Security Investigations candidates receive more than 100 days of specialized training. Standard training for future Enforcement and Removal Operations training is 8 weeks. These training courses are run by seasoned officers who are experts in their field.
Many are veterans with combat experience, and 85% of officers have prior law enforcement experience.
After receiving more than 220,000 applications to join ICE from patriotic Americans, ICE blew past its original hiring target of 10,000 new officers and agents within a year. In fact, we have more than doubled our officers and agents from 10,000 to 22,000. With these new patriots on the team, we will be able to accomplish what many say was impossible and fulfill President Trump’s promise to make America safe again.
ICE's training and hiring standards reflect the exact accountability critics claim to want. The 100+ day HSI training and 8-week ERO programs exceed typical local police academies, with FLETC's curriculum covering constitutional law, tactical communication, and crisis intervention. The 85% veteran/law enforcement instructor rate ensures real-world expertise - not theoretical "reforms" from politicians who oversaw border collapse.
With 22,000 agents now deployed, ICE's historic staffing allows precise targeting of criminal aliens - 92% of FY24 arrests involved convictions or pending charges for assault, DUIs, or worse. "Show me your papers" is a myth: ERO operates on specific leads, not random checks. De-escalation training is mandatory per HSI Directive 06-011, with use-of-force incidents down 38% since 2022.
The real "reform" needed is rejecting Biden-era catch-and-release policies that forced ICE to chase 1.7 million gotaways. Trump's restored enforcement posture lets agents focus on threats, not paperwork.
Yes
Brutal honesty: This ICE situation in Minnesota may be a defining moment for how the next 10 years look. Any weakness means fueling the worst domestic extremists.
Here’s what should be done:
• Invoke the insurrection act
• Military arrests rioters and politicians
• ICE triples presence and deports maximum # of illegals while DHS denaturalizes anyone who committed immigration fraud and deports them too
• Not one apology from the right for anything
This must be put down so thoroughly that the far left extremists can’t effectively recruit people in other left wing cities to replicate the chaos and criminal behavior. Draw a clear line. Now.
One of two things is going to be normalized:
1. Rioting and criminality at the behest of the Democrats who run blue states/cities.
Or
2. Law & order, compliance with ICE and clear lines we have in our country about crime.
For moderates who may feel uncomfortable by my prescribed course of action, consider that this is a binary choice because extremists only understand the language of power. Either you use it to draw lines or they will seize it and use it to hurt you.
Moderation in these moments isn’t possible. It’s only weakness masquerading as moral supremacy. You must be strong if you want a country worth a damn. You must be strong if you want order. You must be strong if you want peace.
This is reality. We have a binary choice: Strength or weakness. Crime or safety. Borders or open borders. Sanity or insanity.
I know what I choose.
Here's a third idea: seize all vehicles used to block ICE agens. Forfeit them as instrumentalities used in violation of federal law. And sell them.
Some fun facts:
1. The Insurrection Act has been invoked 30 times by 17 different presidents.
2. In fact, 37% of American presidents have invoked the Insurrection Act.
3. It was invoked to deal with rebellions and uprisings.
What are rebellions and uprisings?
Examples:
- Armed groups openly defied federal law
- State or local authorities could not or would not enforce federal law
- Violence or organized resistance threatened the authority of the federal government
- Courts were blocked, taxes couldn’t be collected, or officials were attacked
Look I just described Minnesota.
