Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

So what's the best way to go about clogging up their application system and bogging down their ability to hire?

Some of my family members survived the Holocaust and concentration camps solely on care from specific guards or captains. My only hope is that a lot of people get $50K to infiltrate and fuck over ICE

I feel like you would be weeded out pretty quickly. You can't get to a position where you could do actual internal damage without committing some pretty heinous shit. LE is basically blood in blood out.

The hiring pool of spouse-beaters is looking kinda dry these days...

[–] CatDragon@mastodon.world 47 points 10 hours ago

@jeffw just imagine the individuals they’re hiring.
Then realize they’re 100 times worse than whatever you’re imagining.

And just for the price of your humanity, soul, morality, dignity, honor, and any principles, you too can be a pos for some money.

Let's be real here, nobody signing up for ice had any oth those things to begin with.

Oh noes, what are local lar enforcement going to do when they run out of fascist thugs to recruit? Oh the humanity!

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 10 points 7 hours ago

They hire... wait, I know this. Mexicans? Geez, this is hard.

There are only 13,000 or so right now? Jeez, it wouldn't be that hard for a large group of us to just take them out then.
