ICE went on a hiring spree. Sterling credentials were not required, AP investigation finds

An AP investigation reveals that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) hired thousands of new officers and agents with questionable backgrounds during a rapid expansion fueled by a $75 billion congressional funding boost for Trump's deportation campaign. Hired candidates included individuals with bankruptcies, failed police academy records, and allegations of misconduct, raising concerns about vetting processes and potential risks to the agency's mission.
