Holy shit this is bad. There's already tons of reports of the already expanded ICE field personnel calling detainees "Mexican bitches" and not following well-established law and law enforcement laws and procedures. At least with local law enforcement, you still get some people joining because they're true believer types that want to really protect and serve. Not everyone, sure, there's plenty of asshats in local enforcement, but there's always a few boy scout types that put on the uniform thinking of helping grandma cross the street and stopping actual bad guys instead of shooting minorities. Nobody who wants to do good in the world is going to be joining ICE right now. It's basically MAGA welfare; get paid to be a gun carrying shitheel whose only qualification is being able to spot brown people. He's effectively making a gestapo here.

The Gestapo were evil but not stupid. The closest equivalent to ICE in Nazi Germany would have been the SA.

These are going to be members of white supremacist gangs. Arm yourselves. This is the same thing Hitler did

Government employees who reclaim billions of dollars in fraud(CFPB): laid off.

Government employees who break the law and behave more like Nazi SS: we need 20k more.

Says everything you need to know about this government.

[-] blitzen@lemmy.ca 51 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That’s 20k new hires with families and home addresses that can be doxxed. I am NOT saying violence is the answer, but these 20k people should absolutely live in worry for their families’ safety because of their participation in this gestapo.

Anonymous, where are you?

Edit: here is a shot from an ICE raid in California, with a very clear shot of an "agent."

[-] shiroininja@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

We’ve just got to start pulling their face masks down in confrontations like yesterday’s. Once we have full face on camera we have them.

Hey Republicans, you better stand up against this shit if you're against it. This nazi shit is on your conscience.

Over the last 4 years, the United States has endured a full-scale invasion of aliens entering and remaining in the country illegally, causing a relentless onslaught of crime, vagrancy, violence, and death in countless American communities. This lawless invasion has also limited the capacity of American schools and hospitals to provide for American citizens and has diverted billions of dollars in Federal, State, and local social services from Americans in need.

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

They don't have a conscience, lmao. Just blind sheep, eating up state propaganda.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 year ago

Gotta still keep calling it out.

So, we're going to have even more poorly trained ICE officers rounding people up to be sent to concentration camps. People who have no idea how to validate documents. People who don't understand the different types of legal statuses. People who want nothing more than to round up anyone with brown skin, regardless of their status. People who know that due process is dead because we can't afford five million trials.

Ignoring what anyone thinks of undocumented immigrants, people with legal status are going to get caught in this. Some of them are going to go to camps. Some of them are going to be deported. Some of them are going to die. There will be more and more "mistakes" with no attempt at remediation.

I have no doubt that even citizens are going to die as a consequence of this.

[-] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

They don't know the legal nuances, and they don't care. They just want to kill people they don't like with impunity, and they will get their chance. There will be an outcry at the first few murders, but then there will be so many that it will become routine, and the news won't even cover it.

There has to be a special breed of fucked up to become an ICE agent.

[-] SatanClaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 year ago

It's the same guys that wanted to join the Marines you knew in highschool. They just wanted to be able to kill someone imo.

[-] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

Everyone who hates ice should apply and then just be shit at their jobs. Deport nobody. Lose paperwork. Say you can't find the person. Then if you get fired they just hire someone else who's screwing things up from the inside.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago

They'll still be nurnberged afterward.

This doesn’t sound good.

This is all perfectly normal immigration and customs enforcement. We will call them the "Nice Troops".

Apply, interview, whole nine. Take the job, get all the way through the training, then quit or sabotage.

Y'all constantly go on about that fucking dumb ass 2nd amendment, here's a threat to your free state.

It's not a threat to them. They want their christofascist ethnostate.

brownshirts

[-] yesman@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

The only way to rapidly expand a workforce is to relax standards. So they're about to hire 20K loosers who couldn't make it as a cop.

And I don't even want to speculate about the calabre of person who would be attracted to that line of work.

He wants to deputize the gravy seals and have them round up anyone they don’t like.

[-] Bread_and_Circuses@reddthat.com 22 points 1 year ago

Beefing up the gestapo under the guise of immigration enforcement. Meanwhile the shelves are starting to dwindle down and things might start to get a bit restless. The "homegrowns" are next...

[-] match@pawb.social 20 points 1 year ago

the wrong ice is melting and the wrong ice is expanding

All things considered, color me impressed if in 60 days the number is half that.

Yeah, great idea. Fire federal employees from positions that benefit the public, while hiring new ones to make some people's lives worse.

With the one dumb enough to show his full face getting doxxed as being a white supremacist leader, I’m sure I know who they’re going to find to do the job.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 14 points 1 year ago

and where and how will they be trained? think about this when you encounter someone acting in alignment with ICE. you can't train that many people in that short of time and expect them to behave right

[-] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

The current ones don't even behave right

So insane. We don't even have an immigration problem of any real size. This dipshit is tearing this country apart and is focused on bullshit like ICE and the number of dolls a 15 year old should be getting, according to the game show host in the WH.

So all the federal budgetary RIFs were for what?
