Democracy Now! is joined by Ryan Schwank, an ICE whistleblower who has been speaking out about how the agency drastically slashed its training standards for new officers. Schwank worked as an ICE lawyer and legal instructor in Georgia until he resigned last month.

Schwank says he received secretive orders to teach ICE trainees to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

He also speaks about how violent arrest tactics by ICE agents, like those seen in Minneapolis, should only be employed in certain circumstances: Those things should only be done as an act of necessity, when it's the choice between the public's safety and the use of force on the individual."
