Media Miss by the left: ICE vetting strains under hiring surge

ICE is struggling to properly vet new recruits amid a record hiring push, according to an internal email obtained by Reuters.

The email warns that a “high volume of new hires,” combined with stalled background checks, could create uncertainty for field offices if allegations of prior misconduct surface after recruits join the agency.

According to Reuters, ICE is outlining procedures to address potential misconduct tied to recruits’ past actions. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Lauren Bis denied to Reuters that ICE was struggling to process background checks. She said the email was intended to inform supervisors about available resources.

Media Miss by the right: Vancouver council motion opposing ICE at World Cup blocked

A motion by Vancouver’s city council to oppose the deployment of U.S. ICE agents at the FIFA World Cup has been ruled “out of order.”

According to CBC, the motion argued that allowing allegedly under-trained foreign ICE agents to conduct security operations in Vancouver would conflict with city policies on equity, safety and access, as well as migrant protections.

The motion was ruled to be out of order because ICE is not scheduled to participate in security operations at the games.
