As Immigration and Customs Enforcement was racing to add 10,000 new officers to its force, an artificial intelligence error in how their applications were processed sent many new recruits into field offices without proper training, according to two law enforcement officials familiar with the error.
The AI tool used by ICE was tasked with looking for potential applicants with law enforcement experience to be placed into the agency’s “LEO program” — short for law enforcement officer — for new recruits who are already law enforcement officers. It requires four weeks of online training.
Applicants without law enforcement backgrounds are required to take an eight-week in-person course at ICE’s academy at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Georgia, which includes courses in immigration law and handling a gun, as well as physical fitness tests.
“We can’t be responsible for their actions because of an error”
“error”
Oh no, they won’t be well-trained like Jonathan Ross, murderer and 10 year veteran of ICE!
wasnt an error
The whole purpose is to create chaos, upheaval, quite clearly.
And use the ensuing violence to declare martial law and halt elections.
It’s literally the plot to star wars
Wow, if we take them at their word they are terrible at their jobs and should never have been allowed into office.
MAGA will ultimately be brought down by their own virtuosic incompetence. The only problem is the damage they’ll do along the way, so we have to hasten their fall in every way possible.
“Error”
“Some”
All!
The creation of ICE just boggles my mind. ‘Lets give some poorly educated chuds a bogus 4 week online course, then give them guns and a mandate to detain whoever they see fit, what could possibly go wrong?’
What the fuck were they thinking? Honestly it’s a miracle not more people have been killed yet.
If you want the real reason why the standards are so low, I highly recommend watching Mussolini: Son of the century.
I think they were thinkin “what’s the fastest way we can get brownshirts on the street to whip up popular resentment and resistance so we can then implement martial law to consolidate and perpetuate our power?”
You can thank W. Bush.
I hate to defend a war criminal but “Dubya” was probably the last president to have good ideas regarding immigration. He wanted to formalize seasonal work visas, streamline the path to residency and citizenship, and all sorts of stuff. Immigration wasnkind of his theme for a long time (since he was governor of Texas). It mostly got derailed by 9/11, but he at least have cohesive ideas on the matter. Everyone since has just been fuck up after fuck.
Thanks Obama?
Still rather have him back over this fuck
ICE isn’t new, it was created back in 2003 when the Department of Homeland Security was created post-9/11.
The lack of any training… that’s new.
And by some they mean all
“error” lol, as if they didn’t intend that to happen.
Fake news release to cover for that article where they signed up that reporter with no vetting or processing.
Yeah. Apparently after she published that on Slate, DHS took to social media calling her a liar, insisting it was all untrue, and she replied with “You sure about that?” and a video showing her ICE job offer and onboarding date while logged into their site. The recap and update is on The Guardian for whoever’s interested.
The key question is: what would training have taught them? I doubt it’s “Not behaving like a post-democratic regime enforcement thugs”
Fake news. This implies that they were training some of them.
They might as well blame it on AI. Heck, i wouldn’t be surprised if this problem was at least partially caused by AI, come to think of it
If you smash something you can’t blame it on the hammer.
Organization that has experienced immense pressure from above to dramatically increase and speed up their recruitment may have cut a few corners in their training and personnel selection criteria. … You don’t say?
