Donald Trump is looking to hire 10,000 officers to help carry out his administration’s widespread detention and deportation of migrants with tens of billions of dollars in funds from his “Big Beautiful Bill.”
Job postings show that in 25 cities from coast to coast, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is hiring deportation officers who will arrest, detain, and deport migrants, and manage migrants’ cases. The listings give insight into where ICE may be ramping up operations.
ICE has already been carrying out broad arrests, including at workplaces and courthouses. Agents have been wearing masks and lacking identifying information as they snatch immigrants, sometimes breaking their car windows to drag them out faster.
I feel like just turning on location sharing on your phone could be quite productive. You could drop burner phones under the seats of all the vehicles. Take pictures with all your new work friends while you’re unmasked having lunch. Get their contact info.
Nothing about this institution screams competence or strict procedure and they’re trying to staff up so much they can’t thoroughly vet applicants.
