The Department of Homeland Security is buckling under more than 10,000 equal employment opportunity claims tied to former Secretary Kristi Noem’s chaotic ICE hiring blitz, according to a new investigation by PunchUp.
The figure was uncovered by a 68-year-old retired police officer from Ohio who applied to become a deportation officer around the time Noem, 54, theatrically scrapped the upper age limit for ICE recruits last summer. Months later, he was told, after completing training, that he was “too old” for the job.
The man—identified only by his first name, Doug—told PunchUp, the Beast’s new sister outlet, that two DHS officials informed him the agency was wrestling with about 10,000 such claims. They did not specify how many related to age discrimination, PunchUp reports.
