No body has ever begrudgingly become an ICE agent either. You do not stumble into it. Every ICE agent did so because they wanted to be deport people. Remember that.

It doesn't even pay that well. Like, it's fine, but a sheriff's deputy or city cop makes more; multiples in a big city.

Every single one of these fuckers needs to be hanged when the regime falls. Any government that won't back that effort is just some vichy west german bullshit.

It doesn’t even pay that well.

$34/hr to fuck around all day pretending to do law enforcement is a pretty sweet deal. With overtime, you can get into the low six-figure salary, just crushing candy on your phone until your shift ends.

Yeah vop salaries are insane. Ice doesn't pay as well,

It didn't pay well until recently. With approx. $150 billion USD I'm willing to bet a Jr. ICE agent's starting hourly wage will be enormous. Probably the highest entry level pay scale out of all American law enforcement agencies and armed forces.

Why would that money mean higher wages for the grunts on the ground, when it can be absorbed by higher-ups in the organization? Walmart has tons of money coming in and that doesn't result in higher wages for workers.

More likely youll see signing bonuses. They cant hire enough goons for what theyre truing to do right now, much less to expand.
