The ICE hiring spree was always just a socialist program for the unemployable.

From the article:
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s race to add 10,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents has become a “circus” as sloppy vetting and massive bonuses have attracted a raft of bottom-of-the-barrel recruits – with some suspected of having gang ties.
The frantic push has produced recruits that have gone on to allegedly attack civilians and sexually assault female trainees, and others who can barely read or write. One case reportedly included a 469-pound man whose own doctor had already declared him unfit for physical activity.
Vetting has been so rushed that recruits were flown to the training base in Glynco, Georgia before drug-test-results came back, only for some to test positive after they were already in training.
A DHS official said that the department has been, “bringing people in who shouldn’t be hired at all into any federal government job, definitely not one that has a badge and a gun,” adding “We’re now employing people who are not equipped to tie their own shoelaces. This whole thing is a disaster from beginning to end”.

When you end DEI and focus only on recruiting from the “right families” you reduce the quality of the new recruits.

How is this shocking? They full on recruit racists and bigots that couldn’t hold a regular job if their life depended on being pleasant to everyone. Add in the fact that they lowered the standards and you get crap recruits.

What do you mean loading your enforcement army with whatever misshapen bums are racist enough and in need of $50,000 immediately might backfire?

Bad recruits everywhere. What a mess.. they just go ahead and hire bigots and racists. Shameful

But aren’t the shockingly bad recruits the whole point?

That explains a lot of what we’ve been witnessing. Many of these people have no business being in the same room as a gun without way more training. It’s embarrassing.
A guy in Vans holding his gun in a side grip, flagging random civilians and other ICE agents with more PPE and tactical gear than I had when I was in Iraq.

Have they tired hiring the fattest, stupidest, most illiterate amount us?

*They Thought They Were Free* is an amazing book that interviewed former Nazis.
Might be a good read for anyone who wants to see what types of people are giddy to join agencies like ICE in support of a fascist regime.
It seems implausible that the recruits are worse than the current ICE employees.

That is a gig that is not going to last, and putting it on a job resume or part of a background check is going to be seen in the future as a red flag.

Keep the pressure on ICE. They’re hiring the dumbest motherfuckers around. They’re too dumb to hold a real job. They will crumble over time. The same thing is happening to our military, which will also crumble.

Head on over to /r/1811 and ridicule them! They will ban you quickly though so make it worth it.

Can we please stop with the ICE Barbie. Barbie didn’t have a pox-marked, disturbing face. I say we go with ICE Hag.

I’d call Noem “ICE Barbie” too except it’s an insult to actual Barbie who has way better facial skin and makeup.

Incompetent leaders, lowered standards, disgusting mission with performative, superficial results — whoever could have seen this fuck-up coming?

I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists.

I’m still surprised nobody in the media has had the balls to put 2 and 2 together: suddenly all these masked ICE agents pop up all over the country and at the exact same time all those Oathkeepers and Proud Boys and other groups all suddenly disappeared.
Isn’t it amazing how they’re never in the same room at the same time!?!?

There’s literally no difference between what is happening with ICE and what you see in Russia with Putin’s private security force.
Monkey_Leavings on
If only there were a perfect example of how this was going to shake out!
Like maybe when W. Bush ordered a dramatic increase in border agents and couldn’t vet them all and they got a ton of criminals who liked to abuse brown humans!
Oh, wait…they DID follow that example. It was the point.
Never mind.

Temu gestapo. Not saying ICE isn’t a danger to everyone. Just saying that it could be significantly worse for everyone if only competent, qualified, and bigoted racists were accepted.

Leftists should flood the ice applications. Even get the job and donut poorly. Put an AirTag in their boot so they can be tracked.

When you offer a blank check to those willing to leave their scruples at the door, you find yourself attracting those who never had scruples to leave
Listeningkissingyu on
When they are eventually removed from their dream job and they aren’t qualified for anything else, they are going to dearly miss the days of feeling important and powerful. It will probably result in them doing very stupid and antisocial things for the rest of their lives, trying to get that feeling back. I dread what the manifestation of that will be.

Are the recruits really bad? Bad enough to do terrible and illegal things? Then they are good

Their only concern was finding fellow facists. It’s not like they are looking for the best of the best of the best here…

Why is this being reported as if it’s any surprise at all? This was the problem from the get-go. We now have an officially recognized federally sanctioned gang of thugs, roughnecks, and criminals, outfitted with badges and guns, granted blanket authority to do whatever the fuck they want.

“Shockingly” I’m not shocked. I don’t think many rational people are shocked she’s getting garbage recruits.
