The reason this is a war crime, incidentally, is that without it, combatants have a valid excuse to target and kill civilians – because they might be military in disguise.
Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

I've had a little fact check and it seems to be true.
It used to take 5 to 6 months to train to be an ICE agent.
Now it takes 47 days - because Trump is the 47th president.
That's the reason.
Armed officers with extraordinary power.
FORTY SEVEN days of training to satiate the ego of a buffoon.

I do enjoy these CCHQ quotes: "Yes another of the people we promoted to extremely important roles is a grifting wanker."
A Tory spokesperson goes in two-footed: "Reform is fast becoming the party of has-been politicians looking for their next gravy train. Their latest recruit used to say he'd be 'frightened to live in a country' run by Nigel Farage, which shows the level of loyalty for sale."
Former Conservative cabinet minister Nadhim Zahawi has defected to Reform UK
Having served in numerous ministerial positions for successive prime ministers, his defection will likely be seen as the most high-profile yet
"Britain needs Nigel Farage as prime minister," he said on Monday morning

Because of course it is.
