oh, is there not a line out the door of people signing up for the Gestapo? running around chasing the day laborers in body armor while you get screamed at not an exciting career choice?

Are the "We want to hire exclusively explicit white nationalist cowards" folks not having a good time? Surely the KKK can't be beating them to the recruit pool, I mean this is a *paid* racism gig
How long before forced conscription into ice
no one wants to abduct children anymore
They should get AI to do it
That's probably the next move.
FEMA peeps you know the assignment RIGHT?
It's not even that. It's trying to work out how to tell your mom you're letting people with Nazi tattoos loose on the streets with machine guns. You're the soulless apparatchik. Not even the allegedly cool end of fascism.
Standing unsupported in a box truck with all that battle rattle in the california heat next to a guy with a taco bell addiction probably doesn't count as a perk of the job either. bsky.app/profile/melb...
They were assigned to hiring/vetting. Vetting ICE applicants would be meaningful. You could weed out the sickos (likely 90% of the applicant pool). But, maybe, good luck surviving past lunchtime of your first day.
Weed out the sickos *and* anyone who displays a tiny shred of competency
“I want to help people in the aftermath of natural disasters.” “You’ll help recruit storm troopers. Basically the same job”
Not that they will without suffering devastating primaries, but it would make a real difference if Democrats united behind abolishing ICE and prosecuting agents. "If we end up in power again, not only will you lose your job, you could go to jail" will hamstring recruitment even with Trump in charge.
Really not liking seeing this as I take a break here in NOLA from watching the new Katrina documentary in the midst of hurricane season.
Well, that is one way to get them to resign.
I bet Elon is trying to rush a Telsabot prison guard upgrade out the door.
"involuntarily reassigned to ICE" is true-to-form, I guess. Also, it conveniently selects for people who'll obey questionable orders.
If so, good. And I would think public pressure will only grow as their budget permits new horrors.
Gee, I can't imagine why people who applied for a job HELPING PEOPLE wouldn't want to take a job HURTING PEOPLE. Funny how that works.
This was my exact thought too!
This must be why they're trying to crash the economy. Those 30 pieces of silver look a lot better when you're out of a job and have no healthcare.
It’s not lost on me that the current administration is doing the Jade Helm conspiracy theory but for real, and his base thinks it’s great en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jade_He...
FEMA camps and wandering gangs of federal agents roaming the streets
At the level of irony we are at, ICE will probably start hiring illegal aliens because, once again, Americans won't do the job.

And being aware that in a few years, you may find youself prosecuted in Nuremberg-style trials?
As a former fed I read this as either a) they have a ton of ICE applicants and need some help with getting them vetted or b) they want to speed up the on-boarding process as much as possible for the applicants they do have
I guess that’s… encouraging?
nobody wants to work anymore
ICE is now toxic. 🤣🤣🤣
caveat: they just got their ungodly pile of money, so you can't expect them to ramp all the way up immediately but also between this and the age limit removal, I don't think people are beating down the door, and they had some real recruitment problems in Trump's first term with smaller goals
If they’re dragging Dean Cain out to cape for them they’re scraping the barrel already
Hopefully, the pool of racist twits chomping at the bit to go after brown people is pretty shallow. Hopefully.
they'll stir up some shit by ICEputizing regular cops
"Good news, Candy Crush champion, you get to have rocks thrown at you now"
Have they gotten their ungodly pile of money? I thought the budget didn't take effect until September.
I would be maliciously complying my ass off.
We obviously don't have enough natural disasters in this country to keep FEMA busy. /s
