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.

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

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.

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 21 points 1 week ago

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

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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

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.

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.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week 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?

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

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 67 points 1 week 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 13 points 1 week ago

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

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 40 points 1 week ago (3 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 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] dil@piefed.zip 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I had family members happily telling me to join (they aren't in it, just saw they were hiring on the news) when I couldn't find a job, older sikhs just see it as a government job and can't fathom how corrupt this government is. They compare it to india's corruption and living in Punjab and think of the process they went through to come here legally and become citizens, they here the news and think, damn these ppl didnt sell their whole lives to afford to move here, they just hopped the border and now they get government benefits off our taxes, etc.

And why would they believe their younger family members over the literal news and facebook, why would tv and the internet lie to them. That dude should have never joined and it's possible he was forced to after not finding a job elsewhere (idk i spent two years applying for a degree related job in my area before I gave up and started training AI, shts hard out here), depends on how strict his parents are. We aren't like white ppl, we pretty much live with or around our parents forever and are raised to always listen to them, raised dependant so it isn't easy for us to move out, like man likely has no credit, nothing saved.

Idk, I'm glad my parents are relatively liberal compared to most legal immigrants, lean democrat and have no issues with illegals. Like a good 25-35% of sikhs struggled to get here and become legal and spent a lot of money, just to be treated like and called illegals, so instead of hating the ppl harassing them, the whites, they hate the illegals.

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.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago

The two dudes who shot Pretti were Hispanic in fact. How does that sit America?-

[–] DarkGamer@fedia.io 37 points 1 week ago

I love that for them.

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.

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.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago (2 children)

struggling to secure medical cover for sick children

Sounds Darwinian.

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

[–] jcorvera@quokk.au 25 points 1 week 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 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

No shot. The whole lot are cucks, guaranteed

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Nah, cucks are just dudes into a certain kink. They're more like scum that grows on shit.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

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!

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

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

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago

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

I'm genuinely surprised by that, you'd expect police to be the last group of people to not get paid.

[–] lectricleopard@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I thought so at first, but then remembered we're talking about Trump paying an employee. Hes allergic to integrity.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's not coming out of his pocket though.

[–] lectricleopard@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Any dollar he gives to an employee is a dollar he can't embezzle or use to grease the palms of another person he needs a favor from.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

It’s the principle.

Also, it does appear to be his money.

[–] limer@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 week ago

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

(Very few people are leaving).

[–] RedRibbonArmy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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