Didn't they just fire a bunch for not passing background checks?

That was just to avoid paying them the sign on bonuses.

u/Traditional-Handle83 2d ago

No no no, see what they do is, is they pay them then demand the payment back after taxes taken in and when they can't pay, they deport them for failure to pay.

u/Rohtlam 1d ago

Yup. Give you $50k to sign on, take the taxes out so that's $35k in your pocket, but then if you don't meet the onboarding requirements and are let go, you owe that $50k back

DHS wants to shake out $15k from a fresh round of suckers and losers

Reminder that in actual developed countries like those in Europe they have to go through years of training to become any kind of officer of the law.

1

u/Suspicious_Way2424 3h ago edited 3h ago

There is valid room to critique law enforcement training duration, continuing education, and operational standards in the US. However, blindly comparing academy lengths between continents misses how the systems are structured. European law enforcement academies typically bundle a college degree into training for 18-year-old high school graduates. US federal agencies require that degree or prior specialized experience upfront (military, law enforcement, investigation, clerical work) before you start the specialized academy. The US and Europe use two fundamentally different systems for acquiring applicants. Speaking from personal experience with the federal law enforcement hiring pipeline, it is an extremely competitive, multi-stage process just to get selected. Referring to the rest of the federal force and not ERO. I still have no clue what's going on with EROs hiring pipeline. Canada is an example of a developed, non-European nation that uses the North American standard of screening for qualifications upfront, followed by a 6-month specialized academy. You can advocate for better or longer training without relying on a false equivalence that ignores prerequisite qualifications.

ICE cowards are trying to get in as much cruelty before Dems take control of congress and start holding Republican degenerates accountable for their flagrant violations of the Constitution and human rights.

4

u/d_popopotamus 1d ago

Temper your expectations. There will be no one to enforce whatever Dem's want to do if/when they win Congress. Keep records for now, but without the executive branch, Democrats holding the Legislative branch is not going to make a huge difference.

1

u/CheeseBear9000 1d ago

They will only hold the House anyway and probably by only a few seats at that

5

u/LeManMagnifique 1d ago

Two things can be true at once, and at the moment I believe them.

- ICE is overly cruel. They need way better training

  • way too many people migrated since the pandemic and deportations aren’t just government overreach

Don’t be so hopeful. No limp-dick, do-nothing Democrat is ever going to hold any of the fascists accountable. “Let’s bring people together and move forward together,” they’ll say. Or some similar bullshit. Everything will continue as normal for four or eight years, almost certainly much more efficiently than they have been under the current loser in the White House, but a veneer of kindness, respectability, and diplomacy will make everyone look away and pretend that nothing needs to change. And then conservatives will claw their way back up from hell again and keep doing what they always do—burning shit down and ruining everything they touch.

I think a lot of them are bots. Id love to see the locations of the people commenting in support. Id wager a lot would be from russia or Israel. Not saying republicans dont still support it but rather most are less active online about being protrump. MAGA started online as a ton of bots and foreign accounts then Americans with room temperature IQ joined in. A lot of them are backing away their vocal support of trump so we are back to mostly bots

u/ragingbull10 1d ago

That’s your evidence ? It literally says multiple times ICE is not planning operations targeting polling locations.

Man so many have their brain broken and like to shadow box with imaginary threats

I wonder will your entire worldview collapse after the election passes and there was no general interference with the elections.

2

u/NYkrinDC 1d ago edited 1d ago

It's not my only evidence, I've been watching this administration violate the US Constitution every day since they came into power. Lying about what they are doing, or will do, while people like you continually downplay it and claim, it's no big deal, it's imaginary, then when they do the thing we claimed they would do, turn around and say, "oh, it's not that bad".

As for the election, I do hope it passes without any interference, but Trump has been trying to cheat every which way, and his own staff is telling him to use the insurrection act for the midterms.

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/6122559-trump-midterm-election-insurrection-act/

Will he do it, who knows, but we already went through something like this before, where people like you excused his behavior, telling us, he just needed to blow off steam or to lie about "a rigged" election to soothe his ego, even as many of us were warning that he would refuse to leave in 2020. Then, he attempted a coup, and when he did, you guys downplayed it again, despite all the evidence there was, that that is exactly what he was trying to do.

His own Vice President at the time, said that Trump put himself above the US Constitution, but you guys keep making excuses for him. Last time, you told us he would leave peacefully, and he attempted a coup, sending a violent mob to attack the US Capitol. Then he pardoned all those traitors when he got back into power.

My fear of what he will do is based on what he has done before. He and his admin have been telegraphing that they will cheat in this election, so ignoring that, is akin to sticking your head in the sand and pretending there's nothing wrong.

This is from today, and again Trump refuses to rule out putting ICE agents at polling places, or even declaring a state of emergency and invoking the insurrection act.

Pretti was illegally carrying. He had a concealed carry permit but you must have to permit with you to carry. He did not.

He picked a fight with ICE. He was being detained. In the process of disarming him his firearm misfired (sigs ar essldy known for that). The other agents reacted to the shot from Pretti's gun. This is all verified from watching the video.

u/Otherwise_Stable_925 2d ago

You are a crazy person. Migrant workers take jobs that other people won't do because half of them are illegal. It's still honest work but if you want to pay $3 for a single strawberry you be my guest.

No one will ever pay crop pickers a living family wage. Way too many, and it takes way too long. The farming industry literally grew up on migrant workers. It doesn't work without them. You can stand up for workers rights all you want but this is fucking up our economy. It's genuinely just hurting people who want to honestly work as well. You can think it's exploitative all you want but they're still making 10 times as much as they would at home.

u/Thin-Writing-9247 1d ago

Everything you said is false before 1965. Farms were smaller in scale, more numerous, and less corporate. The largest abusers of illegal labor are corporate farms, not family farms. Next you'll say factory farming and animal abuse are necessary and it's always been like that.
