        Honestly the most surprising part of all of that was that they’re hiring women. These thugs tend to be every -ist they can find, including sexist.

        It would be funny if they end up hiring too many normal people and as a result the whole thing falls apart.

        My favorite part of that article was when the ice agent got all offended that the author expressed interest in the desk duty they make you do before they send you into the field

          I imagine that along with the arrest quota, there might be recruiting quota as well. It would be completely in line with how the rest of this administration operates, and large bureaucracies in general, for the people in charge of hiring to only worry about hitting their numbers and covering their own asses.

          If there’s not a rule that says “don’t hire left-leaning reporters” and the guy was otherwise “qualified”, the recruiter just wasted an afternoon of work and missed a coffee break because he backed out.

          If the reporter had taken the job, his political leanings would have been his first supervisors problem and not the recruiters.

          Probably, actually. They’re desperate to get the numbers up because its the only thing racists zealots still support him for.
