ICE is putting the immigrants it sweeps up mainly into privately owned prisons. All of those prisons, and the communities where they are located, now have a direct financial incentive in maintaining fascist immigration policy.
Awesome dynamic, nothing could possibly go wrong.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.
