ICE plans $100 million ‘wartime recruitment’

[wing2000]

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials are planning to spend $100 million over a one-year period to recruit gun rights supporters and military enthusiasts through online influencers and a geo-targeted advertising campaign, part of what the agency called a “wartime recruitment” strategy it said was critical to hiring thousands of new deportation officers nationwide, according to an internal document reviewed by The Washington Post.

Great news to wake up to on the first day of a new year!

Thanks for sharing.

side note - I am amazed someone pays for that rag.

Yes, many regimes around the world find it necessary to create a paramilitary force separate from the army for use as a domestic national police force and as a counterforce to the army in case it becomes politically untrustworthy.

Scrape that barrel harder.

I would tend to disagree with that amount is crazy that and I find deporting people for zero reason other than being here illegally being a waste of resources.

Enforcing the law is a waste of resources? They are deported because that is what the law prescribes. Ask Barack Hussein Obama who deported more people than any other modern president. Was he wasting resources?

8 U.S. Code § 1325 - Improper entry by alien​

(a)Improper time or place; avoidance of examination or inspection; misrepresentation and concealment of facts​

Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.​

During the Biden administration (January 20, 2021, to January 20, 2025), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recorded approximately 10–11 million nationwide migrant encounters. These include apprehensions between ports of entry, inadmissibles at ports, and expulsions under Title 42 (a public health measure used until May 2023).

Psst.... We already have ICE - ask Obama who used it more than any other modern president.

It's expanding because of Biden's horrific open border policy allowing millions to enter.

One more time and for the umpteenth time. Encounters are not entries.

If the cost of increasing enforcement exceeds the value gained, then yes.

Enforcing the law is not based on value - it's based on the law.

 

[RocksInMyHead]

Enforcing the law is not based on value - it's based on the law.

If that were true, every law would be enforced with equal vigor and urgency. The reality is that not all laws are equally enforced, and some are not enforced at all, because we, as a society, have decided that there is little or no value in their enforcement.

Whew... "destroy the flood".

Nothing like comparing human beings to a bunch of invading parasites.

They're going to need all the recruits they can get to accomplish what the DHS is dreaming about:

Going to have to denaturalize everyone who has obtained citizenship legally and start stripping native born citizens of their citizenship to get that number but don't worry, it's only the illegals they have a problem with.

220000 applicants for 10000 openings, poor them.
The mission currently need more people.

Encounters show how many people are showing up at the border. Encounters are way down

Yes. The country has been essentially shut down where border crossing is a lot harder. Even for tourism which is being hit hard.

This is only temporary until the AI robot army is ready.

Thanks for your opinion - we completely disagree.

Try exceeding the speed limit and murdering someone and see which gets you arrested faster.
