Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

ICE has been quietly firing some of the roughly 12,000 officers it hired during its 2025 rapid expansion, citing background red flags that former DHS officials say should have been caught before hiring and because of poor performance.

A whistleblower told the DHS Office of Inspector General in August 2025 that final job offers were being issued before fingerprint, identity, and credit checks were completed, and that some recruits began training or duty while investigations were still open

I shudder at the thought of what "poor performance" means at ICE. Not enough arrests? Not enough tasered people?

[–] bitteroldcoot@piefed.social 52 points 12 hours ago

Probably more like tasering people while being filmed. As long as it's off camera it never happened.

And as funny as it sounds, it's probably true. They have been told to be brutal, just don't end up on the evening news beside a dead body.

In this admin poor performance could also mean not being harsh enough.

There never was ask for competency, trump fires like for not being loyal enough.

citing background red flags that

you fuck one goat...

maybe apply with the FBI if that was the case ?

[–] Jackusflackus@lemmy.world 50 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Please tell us you have a source for this, that is awesome

[–] BonsaiBoo@lemmy.world 48 points 13 hours ago

The source has already been posted, but I remember a journalist reporting that she applied to ice and they hired her immediately without doing any background research and after she had responded saying she had recanted her application

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 41 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Not surprising given what we've seen reported: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2026/01/ice-recruitment-minneapolis-shooting.html

spoiler/quoteSomehow, despite never submitting any of the paperwork they sent me—not the background check or identification info, not the domestic violence affidavit, none of it—ICE had apparently offered me a job.

According to the application portal, my pre-employment activities remained pending. And yet, it also showed that I had accepted a final job offer and that my onboarding status was “EOD”—Entered On Duty, the start of an enlistment period. I moused over the exclamation mark next to “Onboarding” and a helpful pop-up appeared. “Your EOD has occurred. Welcome to ICE!”

I clicked through to my application tracking page. They’d sent my final offer on Sept. 30, it said, and I had allegedly accepted. “Welcome to Ice. … Your duty location is New York, New York. Your EOD was on Tuesday, September 30th, 2025.”

By all appearances, I was a deportation officer. Without a single signature on agency paperwork, ICE had officially hired me.

Perhaps, if I’d accepted, they would have demanded my pre-employment paperwork, done a basic screening, realized their mistake, and fired me immediately. And yet, the pending and upcoming tasks list suggested a very different outcome. My physical fitness test had been initiated on Oct. 6, it said: three days in the future. My medical check had apparently been completed on Oct. 6.

I love watching Conservatives getting hoisted on their own Petard--they are the reason At-will employment exists

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago

The department has been firing people that they found out they didn't pass their background checks now after they didn't do them in the first place. My guess is probably things like having previous arrests/convictions, DV, different aliases.

But probably not things like being convicted for beastiality, those kids are alright according to Kash.

There's a sweet spot of UNHINGED RACIST PSYCHO WHO WILL FOLLOW ORDERS they're looking for. These were either UNHINGED RACIST PSYCHOPATHS WHO BLINDLY FOLLOW ORDERS or UNHINGED RACIST PSYCHOS WHO MAY QUESTION ORDERS.

Anyone who knows anything connected to Trump it’s that he always looks to screw everyone over, especially those most loyal to him. He loved to prove people are suckers, like he gets off on this.

I hope this just increases the number of people that realize it, I don’t hope too hard, but I have hope…

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 38 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Yep. His number one play is to promise things, usually payment, then never follow through. He should be an idiot who only got away with that once or twice. But apparently people are way too stupid to support that world. They'll fall for it endlessly.

No no, they were right to fire me. My testosterone levels were probably just not high enough. I'll try again next year! Maybe I can impress with my new golden sneakers and that gold watch ... 🤔

If you're in the market for a used pickup, I bet you will have a lot of options real soon.

I would LOVE to see a study done on these people. What their criminal history is, how many have received complains against them of stalking and domestic abuse, history of killing/torturing small animals...

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 14 points 9 hours ago (5 children)

One was fired by two departments for misconduct before being hired by ICE. They retractively checked his past, fired him, and he committed suicide.

[–] Denfa@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

So they can do something useful afterall

[–] kestrel7_7@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago
