ICE Employees Vent on Reddit, Saying They're Not Getting Paid and Still No Insurance Despite Promises

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.

You can get past the private subreddit block here: https://ihsoyct.github.io/?backend=artic_shift&mode=submissions&subreddit=ice_ero&limit=100&sort=desc

bruh:

Currently in ICE ERO position awaiting my background to clear , I haven’t spoke to an investigator anymore ever since my interview for the SF86 , came to find out my in-laws are illegal and they are awaiting work permits. This is a F up situation because i cannot control nor is my responsibility to look after other people life or decisions but yeah yeah i know it fucks me up in my career because yeah i married my wife which she is a US citizen and bond with the family. But back in 2017 when I met her you don‘t ask hey do you have papers ? are your parents here legally ? Some BS man …… now I have the job i always wanted , I do what i always dream about but theres always a BUT in this F life man which pisses me off. anybody had a situation like this ??

First, imagine this being your dream job. Then, imagine being mad about this situation.

That's a nifty tool.

Even lets you see the comments. Here's what he said in there:

What did they say man because i wasn’t aware of this situation , almost got into it with the wife….. i told her this could fuck up our future. I Dont live with my inlaws nor harbor them or none of that BS. Just came to find this out 2 days ago , so excited about this career barely 25 yrs old and was ready to eat the world.

These people are disgusting. He was looking forward to being a Nazi more than anything. Probably would've deported his wife's parents without a second thought if he happened to be assigned to that area.

I keep telling people that conservatives fucking love the idea of killing brown people. They literally fantasize about it.

I have heard about it from the mouth of the horse. People just don't get it.

You cannot convince me there is a place in society for these people.

This was extremely common in Nazi Germany. They all had a few of their "good Jews" who they personally knew and didn't want disappeared, even among the Nazi upper echelons.

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.

Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
