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

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.

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.

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.

"involuntarily reassigned to ICE" is true-to-form, I guess. Also, it conveniently selects for people who'll obey questionable orders.

At the level of irony we are at, ICE will probably start hiring illegal aliens because, once again, Americans won't do the job.

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

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
