ICE Barbie's DHS Trained Criminals to Be Agents

Well, I suppose, if they used acid to burn off their fingerprints (which they must submit to) it would be easier to hide their criminal past.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has allowed some recruits who haven’t been fully vetted into its training program as it tries to boost hires.

The Department of Homeland Security outfit later found out that recruits in training had either failed drug tests, had criminal histories preventing them from joining, or didn’t meet physical fitness or academic criteria

One recruit at the ICE training facility in Brunswick, Georgia, the current DHS official said, had been charged with strong-arm robbery and battery over a domestic violence incident

The vast majority couldn’t meet physical or academic metrics.
