President Donald Trump and one among his administration’s best-known bigots have turned to social media to recruit folks to hitch up with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.
The ICE recruitment drive is going on because the company faces harsh criticism for its thuggish method to immigration enforcement, together with abducting folks and intimidating law-abiding residents.
“We need MORE courageous men and women to, MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN,” Trump wrote on his Reality Social platform on Tuesday evening. “Join ICE now. We will take GREAT care of you, just like you take care of us!”
The message was echoed by notorious bigot Stephen Miller, who serves because the White Home deputy chief of workers.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers wait to detain an individual on Jan. 27 in Silver Spring, Maryland.
“Do you want to deport criminal invaders from the United States? The newly-passed Big Beautiful Bill provides extraordinary incentives for new ICE hires,” Miller wrote on X.
ICE has been below hearth for the way in which it has executed Trump’s mass deportations. The company has deployed masked brokers to harass folks across the nation, in some situations mendacity to get entry to targets. ICE raids even have college students afraid of being swept up whereas attending courses.
The backlash to Trump’s immigration motion has led to a lack of assist in what has historically been an space of political energy. A YouGov ballot launched earlier this month discovered that simply 35% of Latinos authorized of the job he’s doing as president, whereas 62% disapproved. That drop got here as Trump and his crew ramped up deportations, together with sending navy forces to Los Angeles to hold out safety for ICE raids.
The thuggish conduct from the company has emboldened racists to decorate up and impersonate ICE brokers, and criminals are doing the identical across the nation.
ICE is essentially the most seen approach during which the general public is being confronted with the Trump deportation agenda. And so they don’t seem to love what they see—so is it any marvel that Trump and his crew now should troll social media to scrape up new recruits?
