Americans have the opportunity to do a very funny thing now...

I wonder if I, a european, could get enlisted with ICE. Would they be dumb enough for that?

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 29 points 1 month ago

You seriously need to ask? I'll bet you just act like an angry moronic asshole, and you're qualified!

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They'd probably hire you, but then you'd have some trouble when they need your identifying documents for tax purposes/to get you on the payroll.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago

i wonder if they are paying under the table too.

The Minnesota subreddit apparently knows ICE Agent Greg Bovino.

Hello, Minneapolis resident here but I didn’t always live in Minneapolis. Once, long ago I lived in a quiet little mountain town of Boone, NC. Guess who else grew up there? A pathetic squat little toad named Gregory Bovino. Well, that squat little toad grew up to be a squat little Nazi toad who has decided to come to my beautiful adopted home to torture, murder, and terrorize my friends and neighbors. He is personally going door to door, so if you see him, here’s a few very specific things from home you can politely yell at him:

“Hey Greg! Remember how your Dad murdered a woman in Blowing Rock while driving drunk? Like father like son I guess.”

Phew! At LEAST they're Allowing these Unknown and Heavily Armed Men into our Schools and Kidnapping our Children!

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 48 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don’t forget that every single one of those unknown, heavily armed men are choosing to be ICE. They want to do that.

Imagine being so bereft of a conscience that you put on a mask and camo for Donald Trump.

A significant number are probably people who were convicted of crimes relating to January 6th, 2021 and now have free rein to do what they want.

I mean... isn't that every MAGAt's wet dream?

Imagine them hiring undocumented migrants and never finding out about it

[–] cheesybuddha@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Those are the "good" ones.

Until it's their turn.

It's by design. If you want to hire bottom of the barrel, you can't have any standards or loops to jump through, or you might lose applicants. As a bonus, people who recognize this won't even apply. As another bonus, articles keep spawning that make ICE out to be a badly run organisation of idiots, when in reality it's actually exactly what it's meant to be and run by ruthless fascists.

Sounds like a lot of people who want them to fail could get a job working for them....

ICE IS FUNDING PROTESTORS, ALL OF THESE FAKE PROTESTORS ARE SALARIED BY HOMELAND SECURITY

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

That's so open-minded of them. Everyone is welcome.

So... if your visa has expired... can you just join ICE instead?

[–] oakey66@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Yeah it’s the the right wing militia groups joining ICE. They’re advertising directly to them.

This is pedo Antoinette’s SA. The SA in Germany terrorized the Jews and opposition into submission by the time the Gestapo took over. The SA was considered undisciplined and the SA leader was killed in the night of the long knives. Members of the SA that didn’t make the cut were sent to fight Hitlers imperialist wars or man the concentration camps.

[–] cheesybuddha@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (7 children)

So I guess the question at this point is, will there be a "gestapo" to take over from the SA, or will this be the extent of it?

I wonder if I should tell My disabled nonbinary partner to sign up for ICE, grab the 50 grand, and flee the country with it

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 28 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

The sign on bonus is a retention bonus for staying 5 years. You, myself, the entire world know he is not good for paying bills.

Every single member eligible hire will be let go at 4 Years 354 days, or just not paid at all. See the $2,000 Check they were going to send to every American.

Everyone apply for ICE!

Either the system gets so bogged down they can't recruit anyone, or we end up outnumbering them. Either way, we resist them.

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

it would be hilarious if ICE was full of anti trump personnel

[–] OshagHennessey@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

I'm gleefully imagining the Truth Social rant where he calls ICE woke

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If just one ICE agent in 50 were a low-key saboteur just quietly, "accidentally" fucking up every single thing that comes their way, it would be disastrous for ICE

Ok so I can't read the actual whole article because apparently it's paywalled but from the bit I was allowed to read (and the writing style seems to pad out quite a bit so it never actually gets really to the point) seems to indicate that they are just trying to hit targets which is why they're not checking people.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 15 points 1 month ago

Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller has demanded a daily quota of scalps, and they haven't been able to come close, even with their openly Unconstitutional tactics, because his quota is comically high. So PeeWee Himmler is demanding a comically high number of agents to accomplish it.

He's a psychopath who probably goes into screaming fits at the slightest provocation, so they are desperate to keep the lid on his fury, so they are hiring as many breathing bodies as possible, no matter what it takes.

I'm definitely too old, but they have a really good signing bonus, and I could use the money, so now I'm considering signing up, just for the money, and the fun. I'd love to get in there, collect a fat paycheck, and be ridiculously incompetent at the job. It's a government job, they won't fire me, and they need warm bodies really badly. So they'll just probably stick me in a dark office somewhere where I can doze all day, and scroll my phone, and fuck up everybody's paperwork on the computer. Maybe I'll bring my guitar into the office to play while the boys are out building up their charges for their future court cases.

BTW, they get 47 days of training. Do you know why its that specific number? Because Trump is the 47th president. That means someone decided to make the training period that length because they knew Trump would hear about it, and they wanted to get that little rimjob in to please him.

What a bunch of fucking losers.

Brb, signing up rn... I know of some illegals wearing red hats and flying enemy flags

If true we could all sign up and waste a lot of their time.

So, why aren't people applying for these jobs so they can go undercover and expose identities and illegal conversations?

If they're desperate to hire it should be pretty easy to get in.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I would just do my job extraordinarily poorly and dox everything and everyone I worked with.

Friendly fire.

I'm not gonna "join the NSDAP" and have that permanently tainting my name just for the off chance of getting that document to "expose" them... which probably wouldn't do much if there is zero resistance.

An army has fitness tests and boot camps to filter out people unable (or unwilling) to follow orders. This is just them blindly opening the door to meet impossible hiring targets so the Whitehouse nut jobs don't yell at them

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The army actually puts the effort into make sure they don't hire psychos. You want people who will follow orders and not just go off and do their own thing because they like power.

It's a indictment of your effort when only the least capable answer your call to Arms.

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 5 points 1 month ago

Considering almost the entire administration falls under that umbrella, it's not surprising they haven't noticed.
