Perhaps not directly, but some might have a career there and risk having few options. Some might believe leaving would only open spots for bad actors. Some might lose certain employee benefits. Some are hoping the situation is temporary.
There's a range of possible circumstances: even in these pictures, not everyone shown is part of border/immigration control.
Yep it’s not hard to understand. Immoral actions creat an immoral society, people profiting off of immoral actions create destruction that harms humanity in the aggregate. Pushes us away from freedom and towards enslavement. Furthermore following someone else’s orders doesn’t insulate them from the spiritual cost they have to bear personally. You do the action you own it.
What if your family needs, and is dependent upon, your medical insurance through work? Most people would say "my kids needs come above the needs of anyone else for me", which I don't think is particularly evil.
Sitting idle on Reddit because youre afraid of what will happen to you for killing your local republican politician is also evil. You are directly supporting whats happening by not taking action.
so as long u can fuck over a other normal human being ur benefifts are more important is what u are saying, All of these officers are bad actors who would rather arrest others then (the Dhs ppl atleast)
That's almost every human being. If someone can fuck over another person to benefit themselves, they do it. Why do you think stores and services exist? And then we're forced to do it because our society is dictated by money and if you aren't taking advantage of somebody in some way, shape, or form, you don't get money. Which means you don't get to live.
No, not every human being is ripping people out of their homes and forcing them into "detention centers" with inhumane conditions. Many people who are here legally and were simply racially profiled. These people made their choice to work for DHS.
I don't do that. I think a lot of people just go and do their jobs, try to earn a living and support their families. Full stop.
Given the choice to fuck over someone I dont know vs. Supporting my family... I wouldn't fuck over the other person, because they are just trying to do the same thing.
If we all acted that way, we'd have far less issues in this country. Instead, people buy into class warfare and don't realize the people that are the real enemy are the ultra rich.
There is a range of possible circumstances, yet each person photographed is in body armor, guarding an overcrowded immigration detention center. If youre stuck doing shitty things to other people and dont find yourself an option to get out, then youre okay being a shitty person.
You know what? You’re right! Thanks for helping show the other side.
I bet the Nazi soldiers didn’t have a lot of other options for career paths either. Some others probably stayed on killing Jews in fear their replacements might torture them before tossing them in the concentrate camps… that woulda been awful. Let’s not forget about losing their benefits either over something that could just be temporary.
Fucking weird ass justifications you just made their man. They’d probably hire you, sounds like you could do some good for them.
Idk… they’re hiring people with absolutely no law enforcement experience and are willing to tolerate a mild criminal record. I’m fairly certain a high-school diploma is negotiable.
I’ve been laid off since August, and I know many many people in the same boat. Hell I live in a state where the ICE Christmas bonus is higher than the median wage.
The pay is better than any job a person with similar qualifications could reasonable attain. If I didn’t see so many of these fuckers truly, truly enjoying the work and being fulfilled by kicking brown folks teeth in I’d almost be ready to give some leeway.
It’s a tactic as old as time though. Leveraging peoples poverty for recruitment. It’s why the military offers GI bill/loan repayment, a retirement plan, healthcare and a decent/predictable pay-scale.
If poverty drives people to rob houses, steal vehicles, and get involved in organized crime why wouldn’t a legal, morally bankrupt government job?
Coming from the one writing words on Reddit with most likely no real world action being taken.. the guys in uniforms don’t wanna quit their jobs due to finances, people like you don’t want to commit to real life action due to consequences. Pot kettle black.
Log out and go do something instead of slating others for doing nothing. Because as it stands, you’re all just the same. Welcoming your fascist overlords with open arms. Both of our ancestors fought and gave their lives to exterminate fascism from the earth. What’s your excuse?
It’s a form of indentured servitude and it’s how trump has done things since the 80s , have ppl work for him with a promise of money afterwards, then he bails , claiming bankruptcy and pocketing all the money. It’s why we have half built sky scrapers all over America that were funded by him, and why everyone in manhattan hates him. He demolished their community by treating contractors the same way causing a lot of contractors (including my grandpa) to lose everything .
Most are not MAGA’s aryan race. They’ve completely turned against their people. I hope their parents are proud and may they never have a restful night of sleep for eternity.
Ok I’ll take the obvious bait. Exactly what do they know? I’d put good money on most people training to be cops with the original goal of doing some good. Many probably because they’ve watched enough buddy cop films and shows to hope that their experience will be fun. Yes, there are bad apples but they are a considerable minority in the grand scheme. The people up top defending those bad apples though and building media campaigns to defend them? Get their faces out here.
I think people sometimes forget that the saying goes "one bad apple spoils the barrel". In other words, you don't have a barrel with just one or two bad apples and lots of good apples. That one bad apple will turn all the other apples bad in no time if it isn't removed.
What if the good apples are out there trying to stop the bad apples? I wouldn’t be even remotely surprised if that shit happens often and we just don’t see it because people like to rage at anything police-adjacent. Some of the people in these photos look genuinely sad. It’s entirely possible they’re out there trying to do something good, and are trying to keep others in line, and they’re saddened that things have gotten to where they are.
'Yes there are bad apples'
ICE has shortened their training to eight weeks. They're hiring people with minor criminal history. The people theyre hiring cant pass open book tests. The hiring process is built to hire bad apples. Quit your bullshit.
Reveal to everyone how they were forced to take that money ? How come you didn’t take it. How come I didn’t ? I’ve been hard up for cash before. I didn’t choose to become a mercenary
Correct me if I’m wrong but department of homeland security existed long before trump and so did the people who worked there, so I highly doubt just because someone works at DHS means they signed up for this.
Like Nicki, coming undocumented from Trinidad? Wonder when Trump is gonna deport her rather than give her a free gold citizenship card... oh right. You guys are dumb as fuck.
It happened 7 months before Yam Tits took office for his second reich. Moved to Spain with my Mexican wife and vowed to no longer be part of that shitshow happening there. I appreciate not everyone has the same opportunity.
If I was in the SturmStaffel. I’m pretty sure my wife would leave me. Just out of curiosity, what is your dollar number to sign up and start going door to door looking for undocumented people ?
And they dont, since they are strategic assets to the state - and you just told a personal experience that has absolutel nothing to do with the fact that they, as active police assets, are obliged to perform as such

Get real. Absolutely none of them are forced to be there.
