Their backgrounds stand out. And not in a good way.
Two bankruptcies and six law enforcement jobs in three years. An allegation of lying in a police report to justify a felony charge against an innocent woman — an incident that led to a $75,000 settlement and criticism of his integrity. A third job candidate once failed to graduate from a police academy, then lasted only three weeks in his only job as a police officer.
Their common bond: All were hired recently by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during an unprecedented hiring spree — 12,000 new officers and special agents to double its force — after the agency received a $75 billion windfall from Congress to enact Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign.
It’s not even the bribes. These people can be in situations where they have control over other peoples’ property. Bankruptcy is very often due to bad luck like a layoff of medical condition, but is also widely caused by a lack of financial maturity. I agree that bad credit should not disqualify most people from most jobs, but then again, do you really want someone working at a bank that is shit with their own money? Some positions need a higher level of scrutiny.
