I hope their pay is suspended and their bonusss canned. That should inspire mass sickouts. Then again, applying Hegseth’s grooming and fitness stds would get us to the same place. Eliminating the bearded substantially overweight members would decimate their numbers.
Will ICE get paid during the shutdown? Will they get the ridiculous perks ($50k sign on bonuses and student loan forgiveness)? Asking out of pure ignorance and potentially excitement.

My younger son just got off a plane coming back from a program in Toronto and deboarding was held up. He joked to the guy in front of him “it’s probably an ICE raid.”
The guy he was talking to flashed a badge and told him to STFU.
They arrested a passenger and dragged him off the plane.

Uncle Adolf was appointed chancellor only 5 months before—and moved quickly to redefine citizenship as a first step to everything after.
He understood the significance of controlling citizenship and access to (or denial of) claims on the state for protection of rights.

As a German political scientist who used to live in the US I cannot say how deeply disturbing it is to see these masked ICE goons dragging people off the streets, and the GOP building up this massive secret police force. What a shameful moment in history this is.

Oh yes indeed. While simultaneously "standing behind him", and claiming that he's doing a "great job", they're looking for a replacement.

Once again, this Administration is playing a reckless game with foreign policy. A leaked EO shows plans to slash staffing at the U.S. Embassy in Canada and gut the Bureau of African Affairs. Because clearly, alienating allies and dismantling diplomacy is the key to "greatness," right?
