News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

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.
