that many of the agents hired do not possess the qualities necessary for the job. They are undisciplined, not properly trained and act with impunity.
These are all failings of leadership by Miller, Noem, and Homan and they need to go.

Whole lotta hot heads who haven't addressed the roots of their anger issues. It's like they were hired BECAUSE they have the wrong basic temperament for the job. Trump gets off on people being hurt so he wants people who are violent and don't think.

(3,514 posts)What exactly is the job for which they are unqualified? Terrorizing innocent people may be the only job for which many of them are qualified.
ICE brutality is not the result of poor training.

You can pick 1, a free country or a country with a secret police. You can't have both.

I would be surprised if Noem was fired...maybe Homan will be offered up as a sacrificial lamb, but that's about it.

(15,410 posts)He's itching to impose martial law before the midterms, so he can sieze ballots under the guise of "election integrity," or cancel elections.
The first priority of any authoritarian regime is to keep its grip on power.
