ICE’s ‘Athletically Allergic’ Recruits
Push-ups, sit-ups, and a brisk jog pose a threat to Trump’s deportation campaign.

President Donald Trump’s plan to double the size of the ICE workforce has met a foe more powerful than any activist group. It is decimating new recruits at the agency’s training academy in Georgia. It is the ICE personal-fitness test.
More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes.
“It’s pathetic,” one career ICE official told me, adding that before now, a typical class of 40 recruits had only a couple of candidates fail, because the screening process was more rigorous.
The current unemployment rate in the US is 4.4% which is basically full employment.
How do you know the current unemployment rate?
Why would you be proud of an unemployment rate that is 25% higher than it was under Biden?

Trump had 2.7 million less people working when he left office last time then when he took office I wonder what his numbers will be this time.

There are no current numbers for unemployment since the government is currently shut down. That is why I asked where you got your "current" numbers. The last numbers available are for August. It is currently November and we would normally have seen October numbers but they are not available.
Maybe you should learn to actual use your brain rather than just your fingers for cutting and pasting bullshit that means nothing.
You think they are that relevant given we are at full employment? If it bothers you, I feel sorry for you but really don't give a shit.
Gee dumb fuck,...I wonder if that just might be from locking everything down during Covid? Do you think?
Could that be it,....think real hard now.
Lefties just LOVE to obscure the truth. Can't be honest to save their own ass.
I realize you are a dumbass that makes claims and then gets your panties in a twist when someone points out your claims are false. It doesn't bother me that you are an idiot that is in a cult but it appears to bother you.
Think real hard about how you want to blame Dem presidents but only make excuses for Trump. Is it because you are in a cult?Gee dumb fuck,...I wonder if that just might be from locking everything down during Covid? Do you think?

Yep,....that MUST be it! You got me EINSTEIN!

An anonymous source, speaking under condition of anonymity?
He can't, and nor can you.
There's no evidence to suggest the current U.S. unemployment rate is "25% higher than it was under Biden". The most recent official Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) figure is 4.3% for August 2025. Due to th Due to an ongoing federal government shutdown that began in early October 2025, BLS has not released official data for September or October.ge Schumer shutdown that began in October, BLS has not released official data for September or October.
Independent estimates from the Chicago Federal Reserve, based on private data and partial BLS inputs, put the October rate at approximately 4.4% (4.36% unrounded).
Under braindead Biden's autopen regime, the unemployment rate ended his term at 4.1% in December 2024/January 2025 and averaged around 4.1–4.2% overall, with lows reaching 3.4%.
Even using the estimated 4.4% for October:
- Increase from braindead Biden's 4.1% ending rate: 0.3 percentage points, or about 7% higher (calculated as (4.4 - 4.1) / 4.1 × 100).
- From braindead Biden-era lows around 3.4–3.5%: roughly 26–29% higher, but this cherry-picks the absolute bottom rather than typical or ending levels under braindead Biden.
Did you do your 15 pushups, 32 sit ups before you decided to make your idiotic post?
Multiple sources is not "an anonymous source."
It was a question. Didn't you learn that in school?
Post the names of the "multiple sources".
Except he said he was providing current numbers. You are agreeing with me that he couldn't have been which is why I questioned his alleged numbers.
Under Biden there were several months at 3.4 and 3.5%. Do you deny that? You have already agreed that 4.4 is more than 25% higher than what unemployment was under Biden. My statement was factually true.
In fact the typical month for Biden was to see unemployment under 3.8% since 23 of the 48 months of Biden's presidency was 3.8% or less and 20 of the 48 months were 3.7% or less.
ROFLMAO. I guess you can't count past one.
No names? Couldn't find any, could you?
