This rules so hard. In law school I remember people who wanted to be federal prosecutors spending three years doing everything they could to be maybe, possibly be competitive for an AUSA job someday. Now you just need to hop on X the everything app and DM a guy named Chad.

They recruited ICE agents from the Proud Boys and other far right political and propaganda entities.

You know, from the same rwing white nationalist groups that have been the greatest sources of Domestic Terrorism in this country for decades, according to the FBI and DHS... well, before those were taken over by a rwing white nationalist MAGA bowel movement.
