美国移民及海关执法局(ICE)的一名内部举报人指控该机构在招聘数千名新特工执行大规模驱逐运动时,大幅降低了招聘标准。1这位举报人是ICE专业责任办公室的主管,于2025年8月提出投诉,声称人力资源部门在完成指纹采集、身份验证和信用检查等基本背景审查前就向多名申请者发出了最终工作邀请。1
举报人表示"这是前所未有的标准降低,以牺牲适当的风险缓解措施来加快速度"。1根据投诉,这一做法违反了联邦规则,使ICE面临行为不当和安全风险。1一些被快速聘用的新特工在背景调查中暴露出严重财务问题和之前工作中的不当行为指控。1
ICE在不到一年的时间内招聘了12,000名新特工,获得了国会750亿美元的注资支持。1举报人本人是具有17年ICE工作经验的资深共和党人,曾在2020年和2024年投票支持特朗普。1白宫边境沙皇汤姆·霍曼在7月表示将调查一名在缅因州射杀25岁驾驶者的特工的审查不足问题。1
An internal watchdog at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has raised alarm over the agency's recruitment practices as it rapidly expands its workforce to carry out mass deportations.1 The complainant, who heads ICE's Office of Professional Responsibility, filed a formal complaint in August 2025 alleging that the human resources department issued final job offers before completing mandatory background checks, including fingerprinting, identity verification, and credit reviews—a violation of federal procedures that exposes the agency to misconduct risks.1
The hiring acceleration has been substantial: ICE recruited 12,000 new agents in less than a year following Congressional appropriations of $75 billion.1 According to the whistleblower, this expansion came "at the expense of appropriate risk mitigation measures" and represents an "unprecedented lowering of standards."1 Some of the newly hired agents have serious financial problems or prior misconduct allegations in their employment histories, the complaint indicates.1 The whistleblower, a veteran Republican operative with 17 years at the agency who voted for Trump in both 2020 and 2024, underscored the severity of the situation.1 White House Border Czar Tom Homan previously indicated in July that he would investigate vetting failures related to an agent who shot and killed a 25-year-old driver in Maine.1
