The Department of Homeland Security is scrapping age limits for new Immigration and Customs Enforcement recruits as it ramps up hiring with a major funding boost from Congress.
Previously, applicants had to be at least 21 and no older than 37 or 40, depending on the role within the agency tasked with locating, arresting and detaining noncitizens lacking legal status. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox & Friends that applicants as young as 18 could now be “trained and ready.”
People are going die. 18 year old kid that would take this job will be unstable and will end up killing someone. This shit rotten to its core.
They are hiring unstable people. People who have empathy don’t want this job. Hopefully most of them are incompetent and not highly fit too.
Buncha fucking mall ninjas
Hopefully what remains of the military once their (ICE’s) 70 billion dollar budget kicks in and they become trumps private merc group is still willing to fight for the constitution rather than either joining him or throwing in the towel
I wonder how much depends on the upper levels. If a couple generals say “fuck this” and side with the Constitution instead of the 30%-majority popular vote President, things might be okay. I don’t want war, but we need all kinds of power on our side - money, guns, love, numbers. Otherwise we’d be run over.
If the good generals resign or get canned and all that’s left are morons and loyalists, it’s a bad sign.

They will be competent enough to do what they will be asked to do.
Kids have even less than empathy challenged adults.
It’s a recipe for disaster

The opposite is also true … an unstable 18 year old threatening an older man who knows that his life is basically going to end will think twice about how to deal with a younger opponent.
The US is really taking the dive on everything as fast as possible.
Grandpa can join too. Nothing like an angry MAGA who doesn’t even like anyone playing in their yard.
Apparently they don’t want to hire over 40. That might change if they can get enough young people recruited.
They got rid of all age limits.
Oh article I read still had 40 as the max, but lower the hiring age. Okay going be hilarious when grandpa as a fucking heart attack on a raid.
Yep, the dog killer said,
The trainers are going to have a time of it. Training 18 year olds next to grandpa is hilarious.
