Americans have the opportunity to do a very funny thing now...
I wonder if I, a european, could get enlisted with ICE. Would they be dumb enough for that?
You seriously need to ask? I'll bet you just act like an angry moronic asshole, and you're qualified!
They'd probably hire you, but then you'd have some trouble when they need your identifying documents for tax purposes/to get you on the payroll.
i wonder if they are paying under the table too.
someone just leaked 4500 ice members Identies.
Okay so two very funny things.
The Minnesota subreddit apparently knows ICE Agent Greg Bovino.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ICEwatchMN/s/3RvpY5NerM
That was a fun thread
I wish there weren't so many items on that list that are far-fetched and weird, so I could believe it.
Phew! At LEAST they're Allowing these Unknown and Heavily Armed Men into our Schools and Kidnapping our Children!
Don’t forget that every single one of those unknown, heavily armed men are choosing to be ICE. They want to do that.
Imagine being so bereft of a conscience that you put on a mask and camo for Donald Trump.
A significant number are probably people who were convicted of crimes relating to January 6th, 2021 and now have free rein to do what they want.
I mean... isn't that every MAGAt's wet dream?
Imagine them hiring undocumented migrants and never finding out about it
Those are the "good" ones.
Until it's their turn.
They really don't care. It's only about the color of your skin. If you are perceived as other you are a threat to them. The country is run by white supremecists.
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.
They are the SA, no ? So what are the SS gonna be and who's lined up to manage them?
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.
Being made privately from their favorite troops of ICE / CBP
the SS probably did better background checks.
Sounds like a lot of people who want them to fail could get a job working for them....
ICE IS FUNDING PROTESTORS, ALL OF THESE FAKE PROTESTORS ARE SALARIED BY HOMELAND SECURITY
That's so open-minded of them. Everyone is welcome.
So... if your visa has expired... can you just join ICE instead?
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.
There's a very real and very disturbing possibility that the Democrats will choose not to prosecute the criminals, or at least not fully root out the problem, in the name of "national unity" or whatever
Imagine if we allowed Hitler to escape, didn't bother to prosecute him, then let him retake power a few years later?
We have to answer to America, the World, and History, and we can't squander our responsibility the next time.
Wait... didn't you already do that?
Also... Germany kinda also did that didn't they?
I'm no history buff, but... (no, really, I'm not)
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.
Russia will be able to rent those to us.
Yeah it’s the the right wing militia groups joining ICE. They’re advertising directly to them.

Everyone apply for ICE!
Either the system gets so bogged down they can't recruit anyone, or we end up outnumbering them. Either way, we resist them.
it would be hilarious if ICE was full of anti trump personnel
I'm gleefully imagining the Truth Social rant where he calls ICE woke
If just one ICE agent in 50 were a low-key saboteur just quietly, "accidentally" fucking up every single thing that comes their way, it would be disastrous for ICE
I wanna get that 50K signing bonus and then just bail out
Or just applying and forgetting just to tie up their system
Read the fine print for the sign-on bonus to make sure. Either sounds like a worthy use of time, but everyone needs to decide for themselves what they're willing to do for the resistance; don't pick a fight just because some guy on the internet said it was a good idea.
Whatever your choice, you're the only one who will suffer the consequences of it, so it only needs to satisfy you.
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.
5 years is crazy, even Elon companies don't make you wait 5 years for a vest
It's because the election is a 4 year cycle. He will either be dead, in jail, or emperor supreme by the time the 5 years is up so he will never have to pay.
Ah Art of the deal, See this is why im not president
Do it. Crime is legal now.
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
I think the case with ICE is 5 years. Which isn't a crazy time period for large incentives to kick in normally, but the odds of these ICE agents still being employed in 5 years isn't great if MAGA goes down, and if it doesn't then 50k won't buy a decent pair of shoes in 5 years.
Though the base pay is far from bad with the job requirement of a pulse. So it's not like the department isn't bleeding cash to make USA worse.
Gosh that is so much less exciting than what it sounds like.
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.

Brb, signing up rn... I know of some illegals wearing red hats and flying enemy flags
Nice work! However, an ICE agent is an ICE agent...get the rope!
name checks out
If the regime rises to power, commits atrocities, and you're still an agent when it's over, sure.
If you get in early, be part of the resistance, and help keep the atrocities from happening, then no.
Hmm, humor exists.
You'll still want people on the inside. Where they can sabotage and hinder the regime. And ultimately be eyewitnesses for the trials when its all over.
If true we could all sign up and waste a lot of their time.
Why not get hired and also submit your daily timesheets to get paid?
Do they check citizenship?
I want someone to go hire George Kaplan.
They're hiring an army.
An army has fitness tests and boot camps to filter out people unable (or unwilling) to follow orders. This is just them blindly opening the door to meet impossible hiring targets so the Whitehouse nut jobs don't yell at them
The army actually puts the effort into make sure they don't hire psychos. You want people who will follow orders and not just go off and do their own thing because they like power.
A guy literally put their reason for joining "to kill muslims" and was trained to do so, then sent to do so. Then the army acts like this is an isolated event when he gets caught murdering entire families.
no the military looks for people who dont question orders.
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.
I would just do my job extraordinarily poorly and dox everything and everyone I worked with.
i think a whistleblower just released/doxxed like thousands of members recently
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.
Its going to be extremely hard to get another job after too when you have a huge 3 year hole in your resume.
Friendly fire.
I'm not gonna "join the NSDAP" and have that permanently tainting my name just for the off chance of getting that document to "expose" them... which probably wouldn't do much if there is zero resistance.
Probably because that's a good way to end up dead.
My excuses are:
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.
It's a indictment of your effort when only the least capable answer your call to Arms.
Considering almost the entire administration falls under that umbrella, it's not surprising they haven't noticed.

Are background checks woke?
It's all proud boys and other fascist groups. They are now all going round terrorizing America. A fascist's wet dream.
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.
No shit
Free ice!! Great my freezer is on the outs
Wait so, free money glitch?
Alright, I am in.
It comes at the cost of being an ICE member, and that will follow you for the rest of your life.
If I manage to earn enough money during the ice raids and invest it properly and increase my wealth enough to ditch work forever, I'd say it would be a good exchange.
I will make sure to uphold the current regime then. They can change when I am no longer here
