Despite a historic recruitment drive that added 12,000 agents in recently, the agency’s administrative backbone appears to be buckling, with employees desperate enough to turn to the Reddit to detail their struggles.

In raw, unfiltered Reddit posts now spreading beyond law-enforcement circles, ICE officers describe going a month or more without a paycheque, struggling to secure medical cover for sick children, and watching promised bonuses quietly stall.

    Some of these ICE guys are Hispanic right? Trump will just call up ICE on them instead of paying what he owes. He’s done it before to hotel staff.

      Seen videos where Asians, even one wearing a Sikh turban, trying to detain Hispanics.

      These idiots don’t realise that they’re just useful chum until they’re not.

        I had family members happily telling me to join (they aren’t in it, just saw they were hiring on the news) when I couldn’t find a job, older sikhs just see it as a government job and can’t fathom how corrupt this government is. They compare it to india’s corruption and living in Punjab and think of the process they went through to come here legally and become citizens, they here the news and think, damn these ppl didnt sell their whole lives to afford to move here, they just hopped the border and now they get government benefits off our taxes, etc.

        And why would they believe their younger family members over the literal news and facebook, why would tv and the internet lie to them. That dude should have never joined and it’s possible he was forced to after not finding a job elsewhere (idk i spent two years applying for a degree related job in my area before I gave up and started training AI, shts hard out here), depends on how strict his parents are. We aren’t like white ppl, we pretty much live with or around our parents forever and are raised to always listen to them, raised dependant so it isn’t easy for us to move out, like man likely has no credit, nothing saved.

        Idk, I’m glad my parents are relatively liberal compared to most legal immigrants, lean democrat and have no issues with illegals. Like a good 25-35% of sikhs struggled to get here and become legal and spent a lot of money, just to be treated like and called illegals, so instead of hating the ppl harassing them, the whites, they hate the illegals.

          My uncle also likes israel weirdly even tho they likely moved to america because of operation Blue star. My uncles and grandpa did get saved by an isreali ship and flown to their destination first class after their cargo ship (they worked on) wen’t down on the way to america and they were lost at sea for a couple days.

      Look what the Nazis did with their SA brown shirts when they didn’t need them anymore. MAGA will have its night of the long knives.
