Gay Senate Staffer Passes Easy ICE Fitness Test, Calls Out MAGA Recruits
Inspired by reports of high failure rates among new ICE recruits, Josh Sorbe, a Democratic Senate press secretary, completed the agency’s physical fitness test, a 15 push-ups, 32 sit-ups, and a 1.5-mile run in under 14 minutes, in a video posted to social media. The challenge was part of a push to hire new deportation officers. The video, which mocked the lowered standards, highlighted the Trump administration’s recruitment efforts. Sorbe, a fitness instructor and marathoner, used the challenge to critique ICE’s actions and reclaim fitness culture from the right. He hoped to bring attention to the issues surrounding the agency.
