In order to meet that recruiting goal, ICE is throwing signing bonuses of up to $50,000 and student loan forgiveness at applicants, as well as lowering its standards. Previously, people had to be younger than 37 or 40 to apply, depending on the job, but that age cap has now been lifted entirely. How is this all going? Not well!
The Atlantic reported this week that more than a third of new recruits could not pass a physical fitness test in which they have to complete 15 push-ups, 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in less than 14 minutes, 25 seconds. (That’s a per-mile pace of about 9:37.) Four anonymous officials told the outlet they were concerned about the quality of recruits being fast-tracked onto U.S. streets just to meet Trump’s goal. Currently, people self-certify that they can complete the test, but it becomes apparent once they get to the agency’s training facility in Georgia that a lot of them are lying.

How do you fail an open book exam??
Really?
Do you have current employment that may hinder your move to ICE? No? Excellent.
Do you firmly believe that immigrants have stopped you from becoming a Doctor/Lawyer/Engineer?
Yes? Excellent
Are you able to pass a drug test and run a 10 minute mile… actually no need to answer that.
You’re exactly what we are looking for, hired!
Pretty much describes a typical maga voter
Of course they’re failing all that stuff like they always would when trying to get different jobs. The difference is that the regime is scraping the bottom of the barrel for anyone void of a conscience and willing to do unthinkable cruelty to the most vulnerable among us, and they check those boxes.
Apply within. Wife beaters, rapists, violent offenders, convicted felons, and the illiterate are welcome to apply. No education of basic understanding of laws required.
This is my surprised face🫢
And here I thought their primary requirement was a MAGA hat, an extensive gun collection, and an unhealthy sense of entitlement…
ICE are bigger goons than any “illegal” they detain
Why is the one I’m least shocked by is failing open book exams?
I’ll take “things that surprise nobody ” for $200, Alex.
Lol, I can just about *walk* a mile and a half in 14 minutes, if I hustle.
I mean, it’s not like they’re looking for smart people
Most are below a 6th grade reading level.
I will say in engineering school, if they told you it was an open book test it would be the hardest test. I fell like this book is probably a pop up book.
THEY’RE FAILING PATRIOTIC AMERICANS, TOO.
And this is surprising? Open book exam requires knowing how to read and comprehend. Shocking
Worra surprise.
And now that they’ve been drug tested they’ll take away their guns too!
Only the best! LOL.
Why tf do they get student loan forgiveness. How does this not make their base furious
Sounds like Jan 6 insurrectionists
Fucking lmao
how easy would it be to get a bunch of people in ice who have no interest in supporting their cause?
No shit.
*An email from ICE headquarters to the agency’s top officials on October 5 lamented that “a considerable amount of* ***athletically allergic*** *candidates” had been showing up to the academy; they had “misrepresented” their physical condition on application forms. The email directed leaders at ICE’s field offices to conduct preliminary fitness exams with new recruits before sending them to the academy.*
“Athletically Allergic” Ok this is funny. ICE is hiring just about anyone right now. Just think about not getting this job and why…
Huh, I didn’t know there were actual educational requirements for ICE 🤔, I thought all they required was that your were racist.
Self-loathing losers make the very best haters of ‘others’, stand by for even more shocking news from your favorite governance of false grievances.
Not reading the article. Are they letting them anyways?
Somebody said “they aren’t sending their best.” People thought he meant other countries.
ICE has always been a hotbed of ex-military Nazis and pedorapists. There’s 20 years of data of sexual assaults on victims as young as 8-10 in both the field and in detention camps.
DJT hasn’t magically transformed DHS/ICE at all, it was baked in from the beginning. These are the same people putting razor wire wrapped barrels into the Rio Grande to drown families fleeing cartel violence.
These are the violent psychopaths too extreme for the police. They have always had zero oversight, and anything they do is hidden under their hero Patriot defending the borders mythology.
They’ve literally “lost” hundreds if not thousands of kids in their custody. How many of those kids’ SA’d bodies are buried out in the southwestern desert?
ICE has always been this, and their own behavior proves it. They’re just now emboldened to openly recruit for these psychos instead of relying on word of mouth.
This headline explains a lot of what we’re seeing.
Because they’re uneducated sociopaths and bullies that get a high off of inflicting pain and suffering in a position of authority.
Not drinking enough Brawndo
Offering ICE recruits student loan forgiveness is like offering a duck a free bicycle.
So insert Anakin meme here. And they are being rejected, right? Right?
