I really hope the message is slowly getting through that having ICE or Border Patrol on your resume from 2025 onwards is a way to guarantee you’ll never be hired at most places. If there’s even a gap in your resume and you look like a thumb, people will assume that you were working at ICE and trying to avoid admitting it.
If you were stupid enough to take the job and want out, the only way is to become a whistleblower.
I’m pretty sure that anybody who could actually become a cop would have become a cop instead of an ICE agent. ICE agents are like prison guards, they’re people who don’t have what it takes to be a cop. I don’t think experience as an ICE agent is going to help them become cops, just like there’s no prison guard to cop pipeline.

Or it’ll fast-track your career to being a cop

This is the Lemmy bubble talking. In reality, the vast majority of people don’t give a shit.
Is the California government part of the Lemmy bubble?
Also, companies with the most paying power have ICE on their resume.
