How much more proof do we need that ICE is to Trump was the SS was to Hitler: his private lawless paramilitary force?

ICE will end up doing what the SS did. It's bound to happen. And it will happen all the more easily because they're not the best and brightest by a long shot, and it's about to get a lot worse.

The fact that they're offering hiring bonuses that are more than my annual salary in EMS should be all the proof you need that we're fucked.

This isn't about immigration and it's not going to stop if and when the immigrants are gone.

the bonuses seems to be over a period of years, i doubt its just give them upfront. trump admin is probably going renege on some of these bonuses.

Trump doesn't care about fiscal responsibility.

I'm curious if I can get inside as a saboteur..

I was thinking the same thing, but I couldn't do anything bad to another person. They'd know

I've had a few coworkers eyeing the nurse rates but like. I already can't stomach corrections even though I love the population. I can't imagine this is going to be any better.

I am expecting Palenstine and others to take advantage of ICE's low standards, hefty bonus, and $1,500 bounties. It is a great way to openly operate with firearms, masks, and unplated vehicles that don't need to offer ID or obey law. Who needs suicide planes, when you can terrorize, politicize, profit, AND live?

The states are fucked.

"Palenstine" isn't a terrorist organization and there are plenty of home grown terrorists before you need to start reaching for 20 year old security panics.

The door is open to enemies abroad and at home. If you haven't noticed, Palestine was bombed by the USA without a declaration of war - and the barn door called 'ICE' is wide open. If I were in their shoes, I would be sending operatives to 'join' ICE, because it is the easiest way to get some payback without retaliation.

Your 'correction' is dumb, because I wasn't calling Palestine a terrorist organization. War is bloody, and ultimately an exercise of using what you got, to make the other guy to do what you want. If Palestine can put a horse's head (or Hegseth's) onto Donald's bed, they would do that.

You don't even have basic facts about the Israeli genocide correct, just seem to be operating on vaguely similar vibes. I'm not even sure if you're actually trying to refer to Palestine or have entirely mistaken the Islamic adversary you're scaremongering with. Is this supposed to be Iran?

This feels like a foreign account with a mistaken view about who the people in the US should be scared of. Palestinians are way way down the list if they're even on it.

ICE, and by extension Republicans, are the true enemies of Americans. New and continuing enemies abroad, are consequences of bad or malignant leadership.

Apparently they stopped offering it lol
