Heh.
More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes.

That's, uh... those don't seem like real stringent requirements.

Other highlights from the article.
"The academy’s standards have already been eased to boost recruitment, he said, and the new parameters “should be the minimum for any officer.” He and others, none of whom were authorized to speak with reporters, told me that agency veterans are concerned about the quality of the new recruits being fast-tracked onto the street to meet Trump’s hiring goals.
...
An email from ICE headquarters to the agency’s top officials on October 5 lamented that “a considerable amount of athletically allergic candidates” had been showing up to the academy; they had “misrepresented” their physical condition on application forms. The email directed leaders at ICE’s field offices to conduct preliminary fitness exams with new recruits before sending them to the academy.

“We all know the self-certification method has failed,” Ralph Ferguson, an operations official at ICE headquarters, wrote.
...
[Tricia McLaughlin] said DHS expects to fill 85 percent of new deportation-officer positions with experienced law-enforcement officials whom they can fast-track. Although they will not be required to pass a fitness test at the ICE academy, “they remain subject to medical, fitness, and background requirements,” McLaughlin wrote.
...
The Trump administration has slashed the amount of time that new ICE recruits spend at the federal-law-enforcement training academy in Georgia, from roughly four months to eight weeks. Some of the fresh hires have dropped out of the academy after flunking exams on immigration law and Fourth Amendment limits on officers’ search authority, one official told me. But the fitness test has been the biggest nemesis to the new recruits. The 1.5-mile run, in particular, has toppled more trainees than any other requirement, two officials said.

All told, it sounds like things are going about how one might expect.

I predicted "own goal" and wouldn't you know it...

(to save everyone else the trip)
A law enforcement source told CNN a suspect apparently rammed a car into a vehicle that was part of a team of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and U.S. Marshals conducting an immigration enforcement operation.

According to CNN, investigators believe an ICE officer approached the suspect’s car and smashed the window with their service weapon. CNN’s source reported that it is believed the agent’s weapon discharged while they attempted to grab the suspect, striking both the suspect and a deputy U.S. Marshal.

KCAL reported the suspect was shot in the elbow, and the deputy U.S. Marshal was struck in the hand.

The give away is the use of the passive voice.

Instead of, "Secret Police negligently shoots suspect and US Marshal", we get "US Marshal shot".

Which is 100% intended, because some shitbrain MAGA dogfucker is going to cobble together most of that headline after extensively using all of their phonics skills and reasonably assume some libtard terrorist done did shot a police officer.

Well it's official ICE raids are on in NYC.. Just had one happen in the house right nextdoor to me.. but their apparent target wasn't home.

I just got home and they were blocking my driveway. I said.. umm that's my home, can I park inside.

They asked me.. have I seen this guy? (showed me a photo)..

I said no.. I don't socialize with them over there, but I know the owner of the house.. but he's an older gentlemen in his 60's.. not the young guy they were chasing.

Then I was asked.. how long have you lived here. I answered my dad bought the house like 40 years ago so I grew up here.

Didn't ask me for ID or anything.. apparently my accent was good enough for them.

And no I didn't take a photo/ vid of them.. sorta surprised they showed up in Howard Beach of all places.

Maybe they need to show the Trump voters.. Trump is working hard for them.. nevermind the shutdown or health care price increases.

I think the correct answers are "I'm not answering any of your questions."
