ICE

Newsweek -    Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) faced a major legal setback as federal judges in New Jersey and Texas criticized the agency over prolonged detentions and repeated violations of court orders.

A federal judge in New Jersey wrote a withering critique of the agency and the Department of Justice (DOJ) over what he described as widespread violations of court orders in immigration matters. Meanwhile, in Texas, another federal judge ordered that an ICE detainee be given a bond hearing or be released, continuing a string of rulings challenging the agency's mandatory detention policy.

Washington Post -   Training for ICE agents was drastically cut amid a hiring spree last year.

According to records seen by The Post: The agency removed about 240 hours from its basic training program, including half the 56 hours once spent on firearms training.
