This country has a long history of dumb cops. ICE is stuck with what doesn't even qualify for police work. Stupid people don't question orders, and tend to resort to violence first in stressful situations and that is exactly the kind of people that ICE wants.

Brownshirts don't need to be intelligent, only compliant.

Look... There are so many good people out of work...
Just take these jobs to keep them from the kind of people they want, collect the paycheck, and then intentionally sabotage them from within. I don't think ICE is anywhere near discerning or competent enough to figure it out.

I'm sure quite a few have fallen through the cracks with their rush to hire.
From all the videos we see of ICE the agents are usually fat and stupid and always need local LE to make their

I hope people join to expose and gut them from within.
Seriously, if you can, take the money, and be a mole, and ratfuck them like they have rat fucked democracy since Nixon.

If you don't have any warrants, you don't need to be able to read them.
If you just lock away people without due process, you don't need to write any reports.
