Wired: Inside the ICE Forum Where Agents Complain About Their Jobs

Wired magazine is killing it with their immigration coverage. Their latest is definitely worth a read: Inside the ICE Forum Where Agents Complain About Their Jobs.

Wired reports that they have gained access to "a forum," in place for over a decade, where "over 5,000 members claiming to be current and former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers ... vent their frustrations and concerns about the agency ..."

One reported post from a ten-year forum member is particularly interesting. It complains about mandated transfers with less than a day's notice and elimination of union protections. “This is not what any of us envisioned for our last years of career when we are in our 50's.”

Another notable comment: "this 3 week virtual academy is extremely embarrassing and will end up embarrassing all of us who had to put the time in at [Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers].”
