Ryan Schwank
Ryan Schwank is a former lawyer for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) who has become a whistleblower regarding the agency's training program for deportation officers. He has publicly testified that the training is 'deficient, defective and broken,' raising serious concerns about the preparedness of new recruits amidst increasing scrutiny of ICE's practices under the Trump administration. Schwank's resignation from ICE in February 2023 marked a significant step in his efforts to expose what he claims are dangerous deficiencies in the training protocols and standards for officers tasked with enforcing immigration laws.
