    Yeah, great idea. Fire federal employees from positions that benefit the public, while hiring new ones to make some people’s lives worse.

      If you make it all the way through the hiring process, definitely don’t quit. Now you are in a perfect position to be a mole for the resistance. Leak info, copy documents, weaponize incompetence, come to work sick, sabotage equipment, screw up orders, be the office asshole, waste time in meetings discussing irrelevant stuff, etc.

      Imagine if every ICE office across the country had 2 or 3 people gumming up the works like that?

      This is all perfectly normal immigration and customs enforcement. We will call them the “Nice Troops”.

      “Troops” is in the title of this post but not in the executive order. It’s editorializing to make a point.

        I was going to say, calling them troops instead of officers is a bit to on the nose.

    He wants to deputize the gravy seals and have them round up anyone they don’t like.

    Government employees who reclaim billions of dollars in fraud(CFPB): laid off.

    Government employees who break the law and behave more like Nazi SS: we need 20k more.

    Says everything you need to know about this government.

    So, we’re going to have even more poorly trained ICE officers rounding people up to be sent to concentration camps. People who have no idea how to validate documents. People who don’t understand the different types of legal statuses. People who want nothing more than to round up anyone with brown skin, regardless of their status. People who know that due process is dead because we can’t afford five million trials.

    Ignoring what anyone thinks of undocumented immigrants, people with legal status are going to get caught in this. Some of them are going to go to camps. Some of them are going to be deported. Some of them are going to die. There will be more and more “mistakes” with no attempt at remediation.

    I have no doubt that even citizens are going to die as a consequence of this.

      The problem with the gestapo is not actually poor training.

      Ignoring what anyone thinks of undocumented immigrants,

      No thanks.

      Yes. This is partially because people think ICE just needs better training, people ignore/excuse attacks on refugees, etc.

      They don’t know the legal nuances, and they don’t care. They just want to kill people they don’t like with impunity, and they will get their chance. There will be an outcry at the first few murders, but then there will be so many that it will become routine, and the news won’t even cover it.
