    It’s by design. If you want to hire bottom of the barrel, you can’t have any standards or loops to jump through, or you might lose applicants. As a bonus, people who recognize this won’t even apply. As another bonus, articles keep spawning that make ICE out to be a badly run organisation of idiots, when in reality it’s actually exactly what it’s meant to be and run by ruthless fascists.

        It might not be the best idea to expect this to 1:1 emulate history - ICE is being set up to be both the SA and SS, but neither exactly resemble the former groups. It’s a useful metaphor, but overfitting is possibly a trap for us to fall into.

    I wonder if I should tell My disabled nonbinary partner to sign up for ICE, grab the 50 grand, and flee the country with it

      The sign on bonus is a retention bonus for staying 5 years. You, myself, the entire world know he is not good for paying bills.

      Every single member eligible hire will be let go at 4 Years 354 days, or just not paid at all. See the $2,000 Check they were going to send to every American.

      Usually sign on bonuses are broken out over a period of time, you’d receive say 25% in your first paycheck, 25% after 3 months, 25% after 6 months and the last 25% after 12 months. Or in my wife’s case when she took a CNA role in 2021 she got $1k in the first paycheck, $1k after 3 months and the last $1k after 6 months for her $3k sign on bonus

    If we end up making it through midterms without martial law, at the very least they’ve put themselves together in a nice list to deal with once cleanup takes place.

    Ok so I can’t read the actual whole article because apparently it’s paywalled but from the bit I was allowed to read (and the writing style seems to pad out quite a bit so it never actually gets really to the point) seems to indicate that they are just trying to hit targets which is why they’re not checking people.

      Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller has demanded a daily quota of scalps, and they haven’t been able to come close, even with their openly Unconstitutional tactics, because his quota is comically high. So PeeWee Himmler is demanding a comically high number of agents to accomplish it.

      He’s a psychopath who probably goes into screaming fits at the slightest provocation, so they are desperate to keep the lid on his fury, so they are hiring as many breathing bodies as possible, no matter what it takes.

      I’m definitely too old, but they have a really good signing bonus, and I could use the money, so now I’m considering signing up, just for the money, and the fun. I’d love to get in there, collect a fat paycheck, and be ridiculously incompetent at the job. It’s a government job, they won’t fire me, and they need warm bodies really badly. So they’ll just probably stick me in a dark office somewhere where I can doze all day, and scroll my phone, and fuck up everybody’s paperwork on the computer. Maybe I’ll bring my guitar into the office to play while the boys are out building up their charges for their future court cases.

      BTW, they get 47 days of training. Do you know why its that specific number? Because Trump is the 47th president. That means someone decided to make the training period that length because they knew Trump would hear about it, and they wanted to get that little rimjob in to please him.

      What a bunch of fucking losers.

    The Minnesota subreddit apparently knows ICE Agent Greg Bovino.

    Hello, Minneapolis resident here but I didn’t always live in Minneapolis. Once, long ago I lived in a quiet little mountain town of Boone, NC. Guess who else grew up there? A pathetic squat little toad named Gregory Bovino. Well, that squat little toad grew up to be a squat little Nazi toad who has decided to come to my beautiful adopted home to torture, murder, and terrorize my friends and neighbors. He is personally going door to door, so if you see him, here’s a few very specific things from home you can politely yell at him:

    “Hey Greg! Remember how your Dad murdered a woman in Blowing Rock while driving drunk? Like father like son I guess.”

    This is pedo Antoinette’s SA. The SA in Germany terrorized the Jews and opposition into submission by the time the Gestapo took over. The SA was considered undisciplined and the SA leader was killed in the night of the long knives. Members of the SA that didn’t make the cut were sent to fight Hitlers imperialist wars or man the concentration camps.

      So I guess the question at this point is, will there be a “gestapo” to take over from the SA, or will this be the extent of it?

        It certainly looks like facism is winning at this point. I don’t see how we get out of this without armed resistance but maybe I’m wrong idk

          I’d say it’s 50-50 at this point, which is an improvement over a few months ago.

          There are a LOT of cracks in the MAGA walls, even other MAGAs are starting to question what’s going on, and they are almost certainly going to be brought down by their own virtuosic incompetence. The problem is the damage they’ll do along the way, so we have to shorten their decline as much as possible. We can’t afford a long drawn out fight.

          It starts with the Midterm. election, which Trump has to stop. The Democrats are almost certainly going to win in a bloodbath of possibly historic proportions, and take the House Majority, possibly the Senate, and take control of investigative committees with subpoena and arrest powers. That would kick off a two year period of impeachments of all the Trump all stars - Noem, Hegseth, Homan, etc., maybe even Clarence Thomas. They wouldn’t get convicted in the Senate, but they’d be forced to explain themselves in front of the American people. They’d also kill his legislative agenda, and substitute their own.

          Trump can’t have that happening, so he’s going to do anything he can to rationalize suspending elections, and that is a BRIGHT RED LINE that can’t be allowed under any circumstances.

          How do you come to this conclusion? What I see is the administration consistently failing to execute on their domestic agenda and backing down. Their National Guard deployments were shut down by the courts. ICE is nowhere close to meeting their stated goals, and becoming less popular by the hour. They can’t even fill the positions they have, nevermind growing it larger with the new budget. Even Jimmy Kimmel is still on the air.

    So, why aren’t people applying for these jobs so they can go undercover and expose identities and illegal conversations?

    If they’re desperate to hire it should be pretty easy to get in.

        Could be an interesting holiday for a few weeks. Fly in on a tourist visa, do the theme parks, get a job at ICE posing as a US citizen, leave with enough money to pay the first month’s credit card repayments on your FastPass.

        Yeah, just be completely incompetent. They’re so desperate to hire anyone they can get, it’s a government job, and they have a bottomless budget, so they won’t fire you, they’ll just put you where you’ll do less damage, like a desk job, with a computer, where you can fuck up everybody’s paperwork, lose evidence, deport EVERYBODY to Florida and set them loose (the weather’s nice, and it will infuriate DiSantis), etc.

        Keep your boss on his toes explaining all the fuck ups coming out of his office.
