Sometimes I wonder how feasible it would be to join and sabotage them from the inside
The danger of doing something "ironically" or "to gain access from the inside" is, you MUST have a hard cutoff point, both in terms of time spent and things accomplished, and you MUST exit as soon as either one happens, regardless of the status of the other.
Anything less, and you run the very real and serious risk of doing it for so long, you end up actually just doing it for real.
probably to act as subterfuge, like secretly warning which areas ICE is about to hit ahead of time.
This is a worthy goal. However, what you're suggesting is very much like choosing to shoot a bank robber; you need to very carefully consider how you're going to achieve your goal without looking like one of them.
That's kind of what a handler is for.
This is true, but having a handler requires one to know someone they can trust absolutely. Sadly, not everyone knows someone like that.
And this is one of our weaknesses we don't have the organization to easily put this together. I would not know how to set it up and probably already fucked up by talking about it.
I don't think so. If we get to the point they have time and resources to tack down stuff like that, we're badly losing the fight.
Organizing is as easy as meeting your neighbors and starting a group chat to keep an eye on each other and maybe exchange information and resources. Rome wasn't built in a day and all that. Focus on making connections to those closest to you and your network will grow organically from there.
Organizing is effective too. It's a lot harder for them to take someone when it's John, the electrician who gave you a hand fixing your kitchen light and not just "the guy in the blue house."
I mean, the article is about the reporters experience of applying. Should give you some idea, sounds like a pretty risk free endeavor - and you'd get a 50k sign up fee if accepted.
50k would be a game changer for me right now
Edit: I think I would have to stay there for 2 years to keep the bonus. Fuck that.
Possibly less so now that you've posted about it publicly lol
Per the article ICE doesn’t seem to care about that, or things like skipping your drug test
Maybe, but also you might be underestimating their incompetence.
Probably very.
