Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has 148 "open allegations" of agent misconduct and potential criminal wrongdoing, including sexual assault, bribery and drug smuggling, from the last three years, internal records obtained by Newsweek show.

The records also log allegations of domestic violence, drunk driving, and misuse of government computers from fiscal years 2023, 2024 and 2025—running October through September—covering both Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump's tenures.

Only 148? They're seriously low-balling.

Probably from the first 150 agents they took a closer look at.

Investigated?

I thought those were job requirements.

Probably making sure they're meeting their quota.

It turns out that the bottom feeders actually willing to treat people like that aren’t really the most ethical people, who would have ever guessed.

At this point signing up for ICE should just carry a prison sentence along with it. We can let out the drug addicts and dealers and put the fascists in their place.

It should come with total rejection. Refuse to serve them, refuse to talk to them, just shun them from society.
