Where do all the new ICE agents come from? [View all]

With a huge influx of money for ICE, they are adding hundreds of new agents. Where are these people coming from? Ex-military? Washed up or booted out former cops? Are they getting any training in handling civilians, both the ones they are arresting and those that are witnesses? How far are people going to let this go before there is violence. From what little I have seen, there are occasionally large crowds around the abductions. What if a couple of people in the crowd are armed and starting shooting agents? That may sound extreme, but is it really? If you live somewhere where abductions are an everyday thing, a small group of like minded individuals could go rogue as vigilantes and start taking matters into their own hands to protect neighbors and friends. I do not disagree with them.
