ICE Plans $100 Million 'wartime recruitment'

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 ...

New: We got an internal ICE document revealing its $100 million ad plan to bring in 14,000 new hires: deals with "tactical" influencers; ads to gun & military buffs; and geo-targeting phones around NASCAR races and gun shows.

Too bad none of the previous administrations, Democratic or Republican, dismantled the post-9/11 DHS and ICE monstrosities that can operate without warrants and deport migrants without an immigration hearing.

One AI snapshot:

"Since its creation after the 9/11 attacks, ICE has carried out millions of deportations. As of late 2025, the Trumpf junta reported that over 527,000 formal deportations had been conducted during its second term alone, with a total of more than two million undocumented immigrants leaving the US since 2021 (including both formal deportations and voluntary departures, or "self-deportations").

Immigrants make up 77.1% of the US workforce aged 16-64.

Over the broader period since ICE's founding in 2003, the agency has deported several million people.

ICE deported 271,000 immigrants in 2024 during Joe Biden's administration, the highest since 2014.

During the Barack Obama administration, about three million deportations occurred.

The total number of deportations from 1892 to 2022 is estimated at nine million, with a significant portion happening since ICE's creation."

Too bad indeed, because with DHS and ICE, the police state is going to be a lot worse for all of us under Dummkopf Trumpf.

Advice for ICE HR:

1. Hire and train illegal immigrants for the job: a road to citizenship. And like many people on the public dole, maybe they won't work that hard at making their neighbors' lives hell.

OR

2. Best job candidates presently found in basements and rural jails.

This is the US version of "Secret Police" who will do whatever the Junta dictates without regard to Judicial and Legislative restrictions.

Liar. You don't iron rubber.

ICE should have their children removed.

There, fixed that for you.

aka... Making Proud Boys and Prison Guards Greatly Rich Again!

Hitler's Secret Police were called...

"Hitler's secret police was called the Gestapo, an acronym for the German term Geheime Staatspolizei, which translates to "Secret State Police".

The Gestapo was a critical instrument of terror for the Nazi regime, operating without judicial review and wielding immense power to identify and eliminate political opponents, Jews, and other groups deemed undesirable by the Nazis."

Happy New Gestapo Year!

Convincing the bottom of our societal barrel that they're toy soldiers who should attack their fellow citizens is bound to end well.

I can only imagine some of the goobers I went to high school with falling to this kind of recruitment drive and they are the absolute LAST people who should have a badge and a gun while wearing a mask...

Except there are countless examples of migrants with legal status being arrested and deported.

So STFU you worthless pile of s*&^. You're an embarrassment to this Republic.

"This is the US version of "Secret Police" who will do whatever the Junta dictates without regard to Judicial and Legislative restrictions."I wonder if their oath will be made public?

The Democratic Party has officially gone full asylum. Not the good kind with walls and doctors. The kind where everyone's screaming, nobody's in charge, and the guy with the crayon is writing policy.
Here's what they proudly stand for now.
Open borders
Not "secure but fair." Not "legal immigration." Just vibes and chaos. If you even whisper the word border, they act like you personally pushed a migrant off a cliff. A nation without borders is just a garage sale with a flag.
Men in women's sports
Because nothing says progress like destroying women's achievements in the name of feelings. They spent decades screaming about equality just to let a dude with a beard and a vertical jump erase it in one season. Gold medals now come with an apology letter.
Kids making permanent decisions
You can't rent a car, vote, or take a Tylenol at school, but sure, let a confused child make irreversible medical choices. Parents are villains. Bureaucrats are heroes. And if you question it, you're labeled every word ending in ist.
Defund the police
Until someone steals their laptop. Then suddenly they want the full SWAT team, drones, helicopters, and a therapist on standby. They hate cops in theory and worship them in emergencies.
Free everything
College. Healthcare. Housing. Food. Daycare. Dreams. Self esteem. Nobody pays. Nobody works. The money just appears because math is colonial now. Debt is imaginary and inflation is just a conspiracy invented by grocery stores.
Climate hysteria
The planet is dying every twelve minutes. Give the government total control to fix it. Ignore the private jets, beachfront mansions, and carbon footprints the size of Texas. Rules are for peasants, not prophets.
Speech control
If you disagree, you're dangerous. If you joke, you're violent. If you ask questions, you're hateful. The party of tolerance has the thinnest skin in recorded history.
America bad
Everything wrong on Earth is our fault. We're evil, racist, oppressive, and incompetent. Also please fund the world, protect everyone, and shut up while doing it.
This isn't liberalism. This is a cult powered by outrage, feelings, and a complete rejection of reality. They didn't just abandon common sense. They set it on fire, danced around it, and blamed conservatives for the smoke.
I'm not angry. I'm just exhausted watching grown adults clap for ideas that would've gotten them laughed out of a room twenty years ago.
Call it harsh. Call it offensive. Call it whatever helps you sleep.
I call it accurate.

Of course, that stupid pile of s*&^ believes the garbage he reads on social media.

Holy f*&^ you're an idiot.

Let me guess, that's from the Hodge Twins or some nonsense?

#2 DHS and ICE monstrosities that can operate without warrants and deport migrants without an immigration hearing

it's Illegal Migrants

did these Illegal Migrants respect our Process coming into the US? no they didn't, so they don't get due process going out

BTW, approx. 1.9 million illegals have taken advantage on self-deporting (CBP) with the oppotunity of being able to come back

Republicans will suddenly become very worried about this the moment a different administration is in power. Just imagine what Hunter and AOC will be able to do once they get their hands on this much power.

So...this is the great jobs program that Der Dotard's administration has been promising. Prove me wrong, as dead Charlie would say.

I'll set the 2026 body count of dead American citizens at 3 whites, 9 African Americans and 22 Hispanics.

For those who don't remember the Boston Massacre or May 4, 1970 on the Kent State campus, tune in soon, to see a repeat...
