Despite a historic recruitment drive that added 12,000 agents in recently, the agency's administrative backbone appears to be buckling, with employees desperate enough to turn to the Reddit to detail their struggles.
In raw, unfiltered Reddit posts now spreading beyond law-enforcement circles, ICE officers describe going a month or more without a paycheque, struggling to secure medical cover for sick children, and watching promised bonuses quietly stall.

“Why can’t I get insurance for hauling away children from their mothers???”

I mean, I have a good job killing women and Mexicans.

bruh:
First, imagine this being your dream job. Then, imagine being mad about this situation.

That's a nifty tool.
Even lets you see the comments. Here's what he said in there:
These people are disgusting. He was looking forward to being a Nazi more than anything. Probably would've deported his wife's parents without a second thought if he happened to be assigned to that area.

Sir, we have a special assignment for you to test if you're up to the job.

Too bad it doesn’t also let the subreddit be spammed. Would be a nice treat.

I keep telling people that conservatives fucking love the idea of killing brown people. They literally fantasize about it.
I have heard about it from the mouth of the horse. People just don't get it.
You cannot convince me there is a place in society for these people.
WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 195d
There is a place under society for those people.

Australia.

This was extremely common in Nazi Germany. They all had a few of their "good Jews" who they personally knew and didn't want disappeared, even among the Nazi upper echelons.
ikidd@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 196d
Jesus, you read the responses to that and half of them either harbored undocumented or their spouse just got a green card. How much footgunning do you need to commit?

People working for trump discover he never pays his bills. Big fucking womp.

You'd think Trump would run out of people to stiff, but they just keep coming.

A license to be a thug is worth more than money to some people.
resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 196d
You don’t need a license. Buy some tacticool gear and a face mask and start stealing.

Wait... The administration run by the guy who is famous for screwing his employees is screwing its new employees?! Surely not!!!
Notyou@sopuli.xyz · 40 pts · 195d
Some of these ICE guys are Hispanic right? Trump will just call up ICE on them instead of paying what he owes. He's done it before to hotel staff.
MuskyMelon@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 195d
Seen videos where Asians, even one wearing a Sikh turban, trying to detain Hispanics.
These idiots don't realise that they're just useful chum until they're not.

I had family members happily telling me to join (they aren't in it, just saw they were hiring on the news) when I couldn't find a job, older sikhs just see it as a government job and can't fathom how corrupt this government is. They compare it to india's corruption and living in Punjab and think of the process they went through to come here legally and become citizens, they here the news and think, damn these ppl didnt sell their whole lives to afford to move here, they just hopped the border and now they get government benefits off our taxes, etc.
And why would they believe their younger family members over the literal news and facebook, why would tv and the internet lie to them. That dude should have never joined and it's possible he was forced to after not finding a job elsewhere (idk i spent two years applying for a degree related job in my area before I gave up and started training AI, shts hard out here), depends on how strict his parents are. We aren't like white ppl, we pretty much live with or around our parents forever and are raised to always listen to them, raised dependant so it isn't easy for us to move out, like man likely has no credit, nothing saved.
Idk, I'm glad my parents are relatively liberal compared to most legal immigrants, lean democrat and have no issues with illegals. Like a good 25-35% of sikhs struggled to get here and become legal and spent a lot of money, just to be treated like and called illegals, so instead of hating the ppl harassing them, the whites, they hate the illegals.

My uncle also likes israel weirdly even tho they likely moved to america because of operation Blue star. My uncles and grandpa did get saved by an isreali ship and flown to their destination first class after their cargo ship (they worked on) wen't down on the way to america and they were lost at sea for a couple days.

Look what the Nazis did with their SA brown shirts when they didn't need them anymore. MAGA will have its night of the long knives.

The two dudes who shot Pretti were Hispanic in fact. How does that sit America?-

I would honestly love it if a hard-right Republican ICE member that murdered random civilians got mad at not being paid and assassinated him.
It would take me a week and a half just to mop up the jizz.

It'd take me a week and a half just to stop ejaculating uncontrollably. Have to start dumping IV fluids into my veins so I don't turn to dust in the process.

Anyway

I can understand that desparation. That they turned to working for ice? Fuck, I have been homeless first. The economy sucks and they made the mistake of believing Krasnov
insaneinthemembrane@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 195d
Being homeless doesn't help your sick kid though, only makes it worse. I would do everything but join ice but if I did, I would not be doing my job at all.

Protest signs and chants should include reference to the fact that neither group is getting paid to be there

Perhaps this is the right time to teach ICE Agents that this is the perfect time to use one simple M word...
A very precious M word... an M word that tyrants fear...
Mutiny.

No shot. The whole lot are cucks, guaranteed

Being a lil cuck bitch is in fact a job requirement just to apply
Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 196d
Nah, cucks are just dudes into a certain kink. They're more like scum that grows on shit.

Dont worry, current ICE agents! Your work today guarantees a lifetime of 3 meals a day and paid housing for the rest of your life starting in 2028!

A happy story from reddit? What a nice development that those hateful shithead are getting ripped off by their lord and master trump.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

"There is no honor among thieves."
Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works · 11 pts · 196d
I'm genuinely surprised by that, you'd expect police to be the last group of people to not get paid.
lectricleopard@lemmy.world · 34 pts · 196d
I thought so at first, but then remembered we're talking about Trump paying an employee. Hes allergic to integrity.
Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 196d
It's not coming out of his pocket though.
lectricleopard@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 196d
Any dollar he gives to an employee is a dollar he can't embezzle or use to grease the palms of another person he needs a favor from.
resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 196d
It’s the principle.
Also, it does appear to be his money.

If they don’t love their job, they will leave.
(Very few people are leaving).

They should just sepuku, it'll make everyone feel better.

There's honor in seppuku, which is not something these people have.

Pay your Nazis, people! Yeesh!
trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 195d
The original Nazis also didn't pay all their Nazis. The infamous SA brownshirts weren't typically paid for instance. They did it because they liked it.
