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.”
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.
