Leaked documents show Border Patrol needs volunteers for Minneapolis surge
“The claim is that recruiting is up, but there is also dread that the gung-ho types that ICE and the Border Patrol are bringing in have a propensity towards confrontation and even violence.”
Which are EXACTLY the type of people Stephen PeeWee Himmler Miller is filtering for. The system is working as intended.
Honestly all these people in ICE that have reservations about what ICE is doing need to quit now or face future prison time. After last week there’s no justifying working for ICE (there were many many reasons before mind you) and having ICE on your resume is going to be a massive red flag. People might forgive you if you leave now and say “this is too much”.
Some emoloyers have preference for nazis.
You give them too much credit. Our actual police don’t have a great track record, and they aren’t exactly well trained or educated.
Ice are the bottom of the barrel schoolyard bullies who couldn’t cope with actual jobs and are using the little power they have to beat the living s*** out of their friends and neighbors and when they pull down the mask they hope to have a nice brunch with the same people on the weekend.
Nobody is going to jail either now or in the future. The only justice that they will face is what people bring upon them.
Not scared enough yet.
“We do have personnel but some just don’t want to go,”
“There might be some immature knuckleheads who think they are out there trying to capture Nicolas Maduro, but most field officers see a clear need for deescalation,” a high level career official at Homeland Security headquarters in Washington also told me. “There is genuine fear that indeed ICE’s heavy handedness and the rhetoric from Washington is more creating a condition where the officers’ lives are in danger rather than the other way around.”
“Immature” is not the description I have in mind for these goons, but what can you expect from a high level DHS agent.
It’s sad that people had to die first, but:
Folks, it’s working. Keep it up.
They are getting scared because they have a feeling people might be shooting back soon.
DHS is privately divided and hesitant about the latest deployments. According to documents leaked to me, not only is the Department seeking “volunteers” for the apparently unpopular mission, it is urging its agents to maintain a low profile and comply with the use of force policies. […] the volunteer push reflects real unease in the ranks about the Good shooting in Minneapolis and the related surge. “We do have personnel but some just don’t want to go,” the agent told me. […] an increasing number of homeland security workers are concerned about the public backlash. “The claim is that recruiting is up, but there is also dread that the gung-ho types that ICE and the Border Patrol are bringing in have a propensity towards confrontation and even violence.”
These four “use of force” slides they released internally are useful:
,

.“In a nutshell, it’s ‘Us versus them’ on steroids and I think some Border Patrol agents are more willing to use force and not feel restrained when you got DHS leadership lying to cover for them. For example, Kristi Noem lying her ass off on what happened is like saying to the federal agents on the ground: ‘Go ahead and do whatever you have to do. We got your back. We will find a way to justify it.’”
I’m predicting that the most gung-ho volunteers will be selected for a “special presidential unit” who will be Trump’s personal military force, akin to the SS.
“The claim is that recruiting is up, but there is also dread that the gung-ho types that ICE and the Border Patrol are bringing in have a propensity towards confrontation and even violence.”
No fucking kidding. Half the right already believes we’re in an active civil war. With how Trump has been throwing ICE around, who do you think is volunteering? This is going to get a lot worse. We have 10 months to go before even midterms, and he’s already threatened to cancel that election.
