ICE whistleblower Ryan Schwank accused the agency of dismantling its training program on February 23, 2026, between 9:15 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. UTC, claiming classes on the Constitution, legal system, firearms, use of force, lawful arrests, detention, and officer limits were eliminated to teach cadets to violate the Constitution while demanding secrecy through lies, as posted by EdKrassen on X citing Schwank. Schwank stated, "I watched ICE dismantle the training programā¦ classes that teach the Constitution, our legal system, firearms training, the use of force, lawful arrests, proper detention, and the limits of officers authority. ICE is teaching cadets to violate the Constitution and they were attempting to cloak it in secrecy by demanding that I lie about it," according to the X post during the 59-minute reporting window. The accusation aligns with documents from two anonymous whistleblowers obtained by Sen. Richard Blumenthal's office, revealing Department of Homeland Security lowered training and testing standards for new ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers to meet hiring targets, as reported by TylerMcBrien on X in the prior hour ending at 9:15 p.m. UTC. Texas primary early voting totals updated by VoteHub showed Democrats at 638,082 votes, up 93,188 from yesterday and reaching 102% of 2022 totals, while Republicans reached 542,943 votes, up 101,947 and at 53% of 2022 totals, per IAPolls2022 citing VoteHub on X during the reporting window.
