Some context: it took me almost a year and multiple applications to get a GS-5 ($34K annual salary) clerk job at the Department of Veterans Affairs. At the time, I had an MBA and a decade of management experience.
A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.

This is completely fucking unacceptable. Shut this terrorist government down until it stops brutalizing its own citizens.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

What if ICE causes permanent physical damage to a bystander?
What recourse do they have?
If they assault us, it seems that Kristi Noem has given them more immunity than rogue police have.
Can we sue for pain and suffering inflicted with these unnecessary attacks from ICE?

Call me crazy, but I don't think the question of whether or not Bovino belongs in his job depends on whether or not he deletes the tweet he made calling protesters "cannon fodder." Making the tweet (along with many other things he's done) should disqualify him from any law enforcement job ever.
Rep. Lieu: “Greg Bovino last night made a post that essentially called protesters, ‘cannon fodder.’ He needs to delete that post, or he needs to resign…If Greg Bovino and the administration doesn't turn down the rhetoric, it's going to cause more people to get killed.”

But *just one monster* established the 3,000 arrests/day quota that couldn't possibly be met without turning America into a fascist state.
