ICE is hiring in 25 cities, suggesting where Donald Trump may be ramping up deportations and detentions.

Donald Trump is looking to hire 10,000 officers to help carry out his administration’s widespread detention and deportation of migrants with tens of billions of dollars in funds from his “Big Beautiful Bill.”

Job postings show that in 25 cities from coast to coast, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is hiring deportation officers who will arrest, detain, and deport migrants, and manage migrants’ cases. The listings give insight into where ICE may be ramping up operations.

ICE has already been carrying out broad arrests, including at workplaces and courthouses. Agents have been wearing masks and lacking identifying information as they snatch immigrants, sometimes breaking their car windows to drag them out faster.

      They give daily quotas. They’re saying they don’t so that people will be less hesitant to join up with Nazis. You should be hesitant.

      In a new court filing, attorneys for the Trump administration denied the existence of a daily quota for immigration arrests, despite reports and prior statements from White House officials about pursuing a goal of at least 3,000 deportations or deportation arrests per day.

      In May, reports from both the Guardian and Axios revealed that during a meeting with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) leaders on 21 May, the White House adviser Stephen Miller and the Department of Homeland Security secretary, Kristi Noem, demanded that immigration agents seek to arrest 3,000 people per day.

      I feel like just turning on location sharing on your phone could be quite productive. You could drop burner phones under the seats of all the vehicles. Take pictures with all your new work friends while you’re unmasked having lunch. Get their contact info.

      Nothing about this institution screams competence or strict procedure and they’re trying to staff up so much they can’t thoroughly vet applicants.
