Campaign will target rightwing ideologues to fill ranks to meet Trump deportation goals in 2026
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has reportedly planned a $100m, one-year media blitz for what it’s calling “wartime recruitment”, targeting conservative radio show listeners, gun rights aficionados, military affairs followers and men’s interests enthusiasts – among others in the MAGA-verse – for jobs in the Trump administration’s next phase of its mass deportation campaign.
As ICE looks to hire for thousands of new positions, flush with cash after an unprecedented influx from Congress last summer, it’s relying on geofencing to ensure people near military bases, Nascar races, gun and trade shows, and college campuses receive its recruitment ads, according to an internal document reported by the Washington Post.
Officials also intend to spend $8m or more on deals with fitness, military and tactical/lifestyle online influencers, who would use their sway to push the administration’s immigration agenda through livestreams, events, and other content meant for their gen Z and millennial audiences.
If you ever needed a paycheck and wanted to leak deployment positions and record everything you’re ordered to do, now would be a good time.
You will have to do a lot of evil to even get in that position. You won’t do any good. What needs to happen is state governments making it legal to shoot and kill masked armed men who clearly not wearing badges nor have warrants.
It already is legal, but that is moot. Your error is only in that thinking America is a nation of laws. They’re mostly past law now. At the federal level and many states it’s gonzo.
People aren’t safe by not doing anything wrong. People aren’t safe by defending themselves legally. People aren’t safe.
It is legal, but good luck getting your rights upheld in such a scenario.
That would be moot since the feds could just pick off individuals doing said actions piecemeal. What needs to be done is the creation of state militia with basically the express purpose of putting feds in the dirt. Don’t even need all that great equipment to make it viable just a couple technicals and some police level personal gear would probably be more than enough. Just screen their social media for MAGA shit and put the pay at 30 dollars an hour and youd have a solid group willing to fight and kill, especially if they can stay in their home city/town.
They have quotas. You’d still have to harass and hurt people. All for the hope that a low-level ICE agent can and will be able to leak enough actionable info discretely and in time for it to be useful? There’s no way that would balance out the evil you would be forced to be a part of…
It wouldn’t matter. There will be no trials and no one will be held to account. American fascism won’t end with some external power or rebel group bringing justice, but by the movement losing momentum and all the war criminals going home. The people who commit unspeakable acts will just be another dad at their kid’s little league game. They’ll just be average workers who have a bit more wealth than those who didn’t kidnap innocent people. The only justice will be them needing to live in a dystopia they did their part in maintaining.
This is so they can get a private army together to help with martial law in October just before election midterms.
I wonder how much socialized healthcare $100 million would pay for?
That’s just a few cents per person… If overcharging wasn’t such a big problem, it would probably buy a single dose of Tylenol for everyone.
Could probably pay off 200 or more people’s medical debt I’m thinking. Or maybe the same amount of student loans.
At $10000 a year for an ACA plan, that would buy ten thousand people medical insurance.
So are Republicans pulling/stealing funds for building the wall on the southern border or is it from military housing with black mold? Hard to keep track for some reason.
How much is Texas spending/stealing on Operation Lonestar this year?
military housing with black mold?
The head of alcohol consumption insisted the military maximize lethality. Black mold is part of the solution.
They’re only stealing what the other guys let them steal. Which is everything so far.
Make-work jobs program for racist losers who can’t get one or hold one down anywhere else. They should be building hospitals in rural communities, fixing roads and bridges, etc.
hearing ice barbie every half hour now is already too much.
Ice barbie?
Kristi Noem

So far the best/most honest advert to work for ice came from South Park
