My guess is that many of these "agents" are J6ers deputized with minimal to no training and told to terrorize (and most of them are probably younger - 20s or 30s). Most border patrol that I've encountered are in their late 30s or 40s, and are considerably more professional. At one point ICE existed primarily as the place where you put your most seasoned agents (former DEA or similar roles). It makes me wonder how many REAL ICE agents were quietly let go in Musks's purge.
