“The building or someone is on fire”
When I was working in property management, certain people would frequently call me in the middle of the night for what they considered emergencies. They’d wake me up because a stove burner wouldn’t heat, or a lightbulb was out, or they just remembered that a door creaks. This shit got old real fast, so I began training the night callers that “emergency means Fire, Flood, or Death”.
One man was unfazed by my Fire, Flood, or Death mantra, so every time I saw his number ring in, I just shouted into the phone FIRE FLOOD OR DEATH? FIRE FLOOD OR DEATH?!
Once again, republicans remind us what they really think of states rights.
A relatively unbiased answer to your questions:
FACTS
ICE does not distinguish much between applicants who have completed high school and applicants with college education. Like the US military, most applicants do not have college degrees.
The lengthy application process and rigorous training historically rejects over 70% of prospective agents.
Training is at an academy with mandatory residence requirements. It’s 40 hours a week for 18 weeks and includes physical fitness, Spanish language, defensive maneuvers, de-escalation techniques, extensive federal law, weapon skills, and cultural training. There are several exams, and many new hires don’t complete training. Everyone has to be pepper-sprayed in order to understand how serious it is, and it is emphasized that use of force is always a last resort.
After graduation, new ICE agents serve a one year probationary period while being paired with a seasoned agent, for a more effective means of training.
OPINION
There is a hierarchy within federal law enforcement agencies; generally speaking, ICE agents are the least respected. The recent behavior of ICE agents is absolutely a reflection of the Trump administration.

New Oklahoma History
The Godly American citizens of Tulsa peacefully objected to criminal mobs of African thugs stealing their jobs and robbing them of the wealth that was ordained to be rightfully theirs by The Lord Almighty. These brave Patriots gently restored the Greenwood District to its White Christian Glory on May 31 and June 1, 1921. Hallelujah!
It’s not too late.
A rare atmospheric phenomenon that is due to extreme temperature variations in Spain. Meteorologists in Spain are not reporting any unusual temperatures, so I guess someone forgot to loop in the weather community.
Meanwhile, the estimated time to resolve the power outage has gone from around 10 hours to maybe a week.

Notably NOT charged is the raging misogynist shitwad Sheriff Bob Norris, who publicly ordered his 6 goons to remove her from the town hall.
