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.

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

[–] wieson@feddit.org 3 points 52 minutes ago

Just like Putin's soldiers

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 10 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

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 1 points 10 minutes ago

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.

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.

[–] RedRibbonArmy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 18 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

struggling to secure medical cover for sick children

Sounds Darwinian.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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 1 points 4 hours ago

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.

You can get past the private subreddit block here: https://ihsoyct.github.io/?backend=artic_shift&mode=submissions&subreddit=ice_ero&limit=100&sort=desc

bruh:

Currently in ICE ERO position awaiting my background to clear , I haven’t spoke to an investigator anymore ever since my interview for the SF86 , came to find out my in-laws are illegal and they are awaiting work permits. This is a F up situation because i cannot control nor is my responsibility to look after other people life or decisions but yeah yeah i know it fucks me up in my career because yeah i married my wife which she is a US citizen and bond with the family. But back in 2017 when I met her you don‘t ask hey do you have papers ? are your parents here legally ? Some BS man …… now I have the job i always wanted , I do what i always dream about but theres always a BUT in this F life man which pisses me off. anybody had a situation like this ??

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

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 37 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (3 children)

That's a nifty tool.

Even lets you see the comments. Here's what he said in there:

What did they say man because i wasn’t aware of this situation , almost got into it with the wife….. i told her this could fuck up our future. I Dont live with my inlaws nor harbor them or none of that BS. Just came to find this out 2 days ago , so excited about this career barely 25 yrs old and was ready to eat the world.

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.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

You'd be shocked how much time you have to harass brownshirts when your time isn't devoted to harassing the American public and forcing yourself into places where you are so clearly unwanted.

and already compromised

[–] ApollosArrow@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 16 points 9 hours ago

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.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

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?

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 12 points 10 hours ago

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.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Lucky for him he wears a mask so his in laws won’t know that he deport them. I wonder if he’ll experience any kind of guilt since he bonded with them. I wonder how this will impact his marriage.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 30 points 11 hours ago

Wait... The administration run by the guy who is famous for screwing his employees is screwing its new employees?! Surely not!!!

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

[–] RaoulDuke25@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 74 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 45 points 15 hours ago

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 8 points 10 hours ago

You don’t need a license. Buy some tacticool gear and a face mask and start stealing.

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.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago

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.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 28 points 15 hours ago

Oh no...
Anyway

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 11 points 13 hours ago

My heart bleeds purple peanut butter for these vile excuses for human beings.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 23 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] DarkGamer@fedia.io 22 points 15 hours ago

I love that for them.

[–] jcorvera@quokk.au 15 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

No shot. The whole lot are cucks, guaranteed

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

Being a lil cuck bitch is in fact a job requirement just to apply

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

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!

[–] limer@lemmy.ml 7 points 15 hours ago

If they don’t love their job, they will leave.

(Very few people are leaving).

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Pay your Nazis, people! Yeesh!

[–] trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

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.
