The agency responsible for carrying out Donald Trump’s mass deportations is launching a recruiting campaign to entice “brave and heroic Americans” to serve as new deportation officers, lawyers and investigators as the government gears up for a major expansion of immigration enforcement thanks to a recent infusion of money from Congress. The icing on the cake: a promise of up to $50,000 in signing bonuses.

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement campaign, which rolled out late Tuesday, recalls recruiting posters from the second world war with images of Uncle Sam and the words “AMERICA NEEDS YOU.” There also are photos of the US president and top homeland security officials with the words “DEFEND THE HOMELAND” across the images.

In addition to appealing to prospective applicants’ patriotic fervor, homeland security is making a pocketbook pitch. The agency is promising up to $50,000 in signing bonuses, the potential for lots of overtime for deportation officers and other benefits such as loan repayment or forgiveness options.

    Wrong. Join. Refuse to do anything but stall getting fired for as long as possible. You get more money. Government gets delayed from hiring a Nazi replacement for you. Bonus points for sabotage like tipping people off about planned raids.

      Yeah that probably good way of having you disappear too. Sounds good to try sabotage from within, but unless we a legit government back resistance, then all your going to do is get yourself killed, disappeared, or will be put on the Numberg trials like the rest.

      I at least hope we have a trail, and we hang these fuckers.

        Nuremberg was a failure and a sham, nazis en masse were excused and given positions of power in the exact same positions they held as nazis. 2 million Germans directly contributed to the holocaust and nine people were executed at Nuremberg. I pray to fucking god that isnt how this ends.
