ICE walked into a Mexican restaurant in St Paul, the crowd made them feel so unwelcome, they walked right on back out empty handed. (i.imgur.com)

Fucking amateur hour dude… these are supposed to be UNITED STATES FEDERAL AGENTS. I can’t believe the eponymous Gravy Seals are now a standard for federal employment.

Are we great again yet?

I think ice are sincerely the more stupid chunk of the population. They literally don't think good.

I’m pretty sure we’re not seeing any white supremacist hate groups in these cities because they all just joined ICE.

Actually, from the data dump of recruits that got leaked, it matches REALLY CLOSELY with known Proud Boys. Enrique Tarrio, Baron von Shithead himself, showed up in the list.

The article about the prog/left dude with a minor criminal record that got hired at ice tells you all you need to know about the ICE hiring process.

ICE has thrown out their sit-up requirement because they can't find recruits who can do sit-ups.

Have you seen how little vetting goes into ICE recruiting? One VERY anti-trump reporter got accepted into ICE by basically showing up. Didn't even submit "required" documents and had a background full of anti trump posts. It's a shit show. These guys are buying their gear at gun shows because they're so uncoordinated. That's why they don't have a real uniform or coordinating outfits.

An AI routine also accidentally assumed thousands of applicants were ex-police, so skipped tbeir use of force and firearms training modules.
