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.

I bet the ICE training videos are all YouTube Shorts.

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.

A fascist's army only needs to be able to abuse and kill those who they are told to attack.

They do actually need competence. Marching around and acting like a menace doesn't actually accomplish much but piss people off

Barely 1 out of 5 of them can pass the "high school equivalent of a gym class" physical fitness test. According to the ICE recruiting sub on Reddit.

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 arrest kidnapping successful.

That's a feature.

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.

In other words... recruiting from MAGA?
