A fuck ton more states should do this and include fire departments, sanitation, and water and waste management.

From the article:

Farías’ bill comes on the heels of comments by Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Castro Valley, pledging to restrict ICE agents from all state jobs if elected governor. He also said he would take away the driver’s licenses of federal agents in the state who are working while covering their faces behind masks.

“Good luck walking to work, a—holes,” has become one of Swalwell’s go-to phrases during recent debates and townhalls.

How about they just say they will be arrested. 🤷

If warranted, I still believe in dew processing, but banning them from civil services just do it now.

What does that have to do with distilling condensation?

You can't have dew due to you until you've paid your dues.

Was just thinking that! Call it a ban from society.

Sure. But also make their existence as miserable and difficult as possible.

Give them the back-breaking jobs on farms for $2 an hour that all the immigrants they abducted were doing.

Washington is doing the same, at least with law enforcement jobs. It would be nice to extend that to any state-funded job.

If you become a bootlicker be ok with not being allowed to participate in public service.

KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 239d (2 replies)

Public service is specifically engineered to encourage bootlickers and weed out independent thinking.

I was an employee of the department of homeland security for about 6 months back in 2023, and I was fired for invoking my Weingarten rights as a union member.

This is very specifically against the law on local and federal levels.

I told my union rep (AFGE local 1533) that my rights had been violated repeatedly. My rep told me "arbitrations are expensive" and that the union "will not pursue your grievances".

I wish an eye opening lose-your-income-and-housing on each and every person working for AFGE in any capacity.

Fuck them once for not having a spine, and fuck them twice for the thoughts and prayers email they sent me just days ago asking for donations in the name of Alex Pretti. Absolutely ghoulish behavior.

I don't know this person or the circumstances. But it feels like there may have been more to the story.

Farías’ bill doesn’t stop at law enforcement. It prohibits those employed by ICE since the start of Trump’s immigration crackdown to the end of his term from working across state public school systems.

...

Farías’ bill would extend the background check requirements to include an investigation of prior employment with ICE — along with employment at the Correction Departments in Alabama and Georgia from 2020 to Jan. 1, 2026.

...

Representatives for unions representing California law enforcement and teachers told the Chronicle they were not yet ready to weigh in on the bill.

Committee hearings for the bill have not yet been scheduled. The bill would need to pass both houses of California’s Legislature and win the signature of Gov. Gavin Newsom to become law.

I’m gonna have a moral dilemma at some point where we are putting former ice agents in concentration camps as they await trial and their death sentences. Imma feel a little bad about that. Oh well

not_that_guy05@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 239d

That's it? Can't we just exile them from ever returning to Cali?

National guard? Any public position?

NABDad@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 239d

Unless I missed it, they're taking about I.C.E., not the National Guard.

Or are you asking if former ICE agents would be able to join the National Guard?

WTF!?!? We just ok with “blacklisting” now lol Yall realize this goes both ways. Might as well just get rid of title VII of the civil rights act. Don’t let this man push you to stupidity

gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world · 33 pts · 239d (6 replies)

Title VII prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin, not on someone's voluntary history of involvement in a fascist organization

Yall realize this goes both ways

This is why every single ICE agent and anyone who sympathizes with them needs all their political power removed immediately before they can hurt this country anymore than they already have, they will try to retaliate against any kind of accountability for their organization's many crimes

tino_408@lemmy.world · -21 pts · 239d (5 replies)

I like how you conveniently left out political views. And your idea of get them before they get you is why we are in this stupid situation

Zombiepirate@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 239d (4 replies)

They "conveniently" left out something that wasn't in title VII when they were talking about classes protected by title VII? How devious.

NSPM-7 already exists. It's time to fight back instead of asking "what if they do it too?"

They're already doing it.

ripcord@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 239d

Dude they are already doing everything. There is no more "we need to be afraid to do something because they might do it back!"

That's what the last 4 years were and it was an absolutely fucking abysmal failure. They are all in on totalitarianism. It's happening.

FauxLiving@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 239d

That ship has sailed, we've been blacklisting felons for a long time. Even removing their ability to vote.

Since we can't identify individual ICE officer, hiring any ICE officer is a risk because they could be the guy shooting off people's fingers or launching a tear gas grenade into people's head.

lol I’m deffo okay with blacklisting nazis like is this even a question lmao
