    I am not from the US and understand very little of this ICE-shit in general. But who actually are these people? From the look on their clothes and body-shape they dont seem very fit or in some training YouTube. Is this random people that got a job as an agent or are they some kind of cops?

      Yes, you are correct. The bar for entry is low because the regime is desperate to have lot and lots of goons on the ground. Probably a lot of former military in there as well wanna be military too.

      This. Like cops for hire, only much, much worse. Shitty pay plus a (conditional?) one-time bonus to really lure them in and fuck them over. Not that I feel an iota of pity.

      Almost every otherwise-unemployable alt-right wanker works for ICE now, it seems. Ex-cop with a drinking, violence or abuse problem? 😚👌 Just what we’re looking for.
