So you are suggesting that ICE is specifically recruiting people who were present on J6 but who didn't bother to do any violence or go inside the Capitol at all? Ok.

I’m suggesting that people who have the grievances, attended the J6 rally but stopped short of violence/going into Capitol which were many, could apply for ICE jobs because it is a “legit” way to act on their grievances. ICE just has to post jobs and these thugs have the profile/desire to apply

Why I care? These people are easily manipulated (Big Lie) and made the effort get to DC on J6 so applying to ICE would give them legal cover to more aggressively serve the cult. This is an opportunity for them, and Trump/Noem will easily control them to cross legal/ethical lines more than others

The kinds of people who were at J6 are the exact kind of people who have always been ICE agents since the creation of the agency.

IMO they are cops/sheriffs earning extra pay. They aren't in their normal uniform for obvious reasons, and the gator/mask is to avoid detection that would connect them to their real job. And shooting someone would be highly problematic, so they're not trigger-happy. But, who knows. www.ice.gov/287g

I have a very easy time believing it’s just a problem with the specific kind of assholes that would do this sort of work, and not some kind of conspiracy. I pretty consistently believe Trump and the people who work for him are actually just stupid, there’s not some cloak and dagger shit happening.

Many agents of ICE and its predecessor organizations were always like this. The lowest of the low in the federal law enforcement hierarchy in terms brutality and the poor treatment of arrestees.

Sure, it's possible some are applying for jobs there. And many would jump at the chance to work! But there are only 1500 of them, and there are definitely more than 1500 Americans willing to do this stuff.

My read is that there's almost certainly nobody from the 1500 pardonees working for ICE/DHS right now, but to the extent that there's anybody who was at J6 in ICE it's guys who were already ICE/DHS agents on J6 (which is definitely a non-zero number, but much harder to confirm)

That’s … really low for a federal job start level. Well, maybe not for law enforcement federal, I’ve no experience with that area.
jun 22, 2025, 5:24 pm • 0 0 • view
ERO will start someone with zero experience or education as a GS5. When you factor everything in they get up closer to around 45k a year but thats still pretty bad in most major cities. Which is why most federal cops come over at higher GS scale/pay due to experience and such.
jun 22, 2025, 5:28 pm • 3 0 • view
That’s a little more what I’d expected. I mean most jobs, government or no, don’t pay great city wages but that sounds more in line from what I know of current federal jobs in other areas.
jun 22, 2025, 5:30 pm • 1 0 • view
Not to "well actually" but typical ERO agents with zero experience start around GS 5 and even with minimal overtime and all the weird bonuses the cops make as well as location it'd be closer to 45k and most advance pretty quick. And that would be someone with zero experience, a rare hire.
jun 22, 2025, 5:26 pm • 1 0 • view
Okay that is more what I’d expect. (But also: no first or second hand experience with federal law enforcement. State, DOD, Revenue, and others yes. LEO/Feds no.)

I worked at ICE as a FOIA/PA analyst about 10 years ago and came in as a GS-9. Most of the new LE officers/agents i met were around a GS-7 and middle step, I can't remember ever meeting a GS 5 at DC HQ but I avoided ERO officers like the plague.

Ultimately, the J6 community is a group of people with personalities that often don't mesh, all forever linked by this one thing. It can be as catty and dramatic as a reality show. If 200 of them were working for ICE, word would get out. Hell, if 200 of them found a job ANYWHERE word would get out.

I think ICE is paying big starting bonuses and a price per arrest. They are getting people who can pass the basic background check and need money. It's a mercenary force. Not sure why people think it's anything more than money.

Starting bonuses are legal, but pay scales are publicly available and not very impressive. But ofc any pay or bonus is attractive if you're desperate enough.

They were talking about some hefty starting bonuses. People jumping in to grab a bonus and get out from underwater. They are also pulling office workers and agents from other areas to kidnap people in courthouses.

There are a ton of cops out there who were cut loose (but not criminally charged themselves) when someone they arrested successfully sued their departments. Often, they just set up in the next town over and quickly wash out there too.

A lot of them eventually wind up working as security guards, which, of course, doesn't pay as well. I'd imagine some of them wind up as "Surety Recovery Agents" (bounty hunters) and it wouldn't surprise me if they deputized a lot of them, along with a bunch of security guards on a power trip.
