10,000 New Border Agents? Will Violence Explode? | JQJO

The US is rapidly expanding its immigration enforcement workforce, hiring 10,000 ICE officers and 3,000 CBP agents. This follows a history of misconduct and violence among officers, raising concerns about increased abuse. Critics cite past instances of cartel members infiltrating the ranks and reports of daily misconduct. Shortened training periods and relaxed hiring standards further fuel worries. Advocates fear this will lead to more human rights violations, racial profiling, and violence, exacerbated by the administration's rhetoric and lack of oversight.
