They’re in the American embassy and consulates.

From the article:

“These skilled and highly trained special agents focus on a wide variety of serious crimes, like drug trafficking, child exploitation, weapons smuggling, human smuggling, financial fraud, and more.”

TLDR: They’re not armed and can’t arrest people.

In my opinion, it was all entirely reasonable when the US administration was an ally and a civilised democracy. It might be something we should re-evaluate for current circumstances.

I can get behind that sentiment.

I reached for the up button about five times reading this. I absolutely 100% agree. Agile, and all of it’s little branches, were created by self managing teams. Each team did it differently so named what they were doing differently, we got XP, scrum, kanban, etc. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t the specific flavour that led to success, it was the diverse, empowered, self managing team of mature, talented people. Get yourself a team like that and the rest will care of itself.

My only requirement for team processes is that they be mostly up to the team. Absolutely some type of structure is needed. If something isn’t working for the team, they need to have agency to address that, whether it means adding, removing, or changing something.
