What, except being a good person, would stop them from accepting him?
There's another thread going around where a left wing reporter with a failed drug test was accepted into ICE without even finishing to submit the paperwork.
My favorite part of that article was when the ice agent got all offended that the author expressed interest in the desk duty they make you do before they send you into the field
Would they hire from the people they've rounded up to deport?
Probably, actually. They're desperate to get the numbers up because its the only thing racists zealots still support him for.
I heard they even got mad that this person didn't actually take the job. Like... what the actual fuck? That can't be real right?
I imagine that along with the arrest quota, there might be recruiting quota as well. It would be completely in line with how the rest of this administration operates, and large bureaucracies in general, for the people in charge of hiring to only worry about hitting their numbers and covering their own asses.
If there's not a rule that says "don't hire left-leaning reporters" and the guy was otherwise "qualified", the recruiter just wasted an afternoon of work and missed a coffee break because he backed out.
If the reporter had taken the job, his political leanings would have been his first supervisors problem and not the recruiters.
Bet they figured at worst they'd let the Lefty ride a desk and let a True Believer get out there and harass some brown people.
Honestly the most surprising part of all of that was that they're hiring women. These thugs tend to be every -ist they can find, including sexist.
It would be funny if they end up hiring too many normal people and as a result the whole thing falls apart.
