Insiders are saying the Department of Homeland Security’s ICE hiring is in “chaos” and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller is reportedly angry over “lagging” deportation numbers.
A DHS source told The Daily Beast on Monday that President Donald Trump’s push to “throw money around” while "panic at the top of government” has unfolded with Miller’s disappointment over agents not reaching Trump’s goal of 3,000 deportations per day.
“There are calls with Miller, where everyone is being screamed at,” the official told The Beast. “The targets he is setting for them are ridiculous, and it is a case of them just spending any money they can to increase the number of officers and deportations.”
Hiring within the agency has also presented other problems — agents joining before badges, system access or guns are available. Some say the money offer is luring veteran agents back and “insiders claim that the crash program has led to disorder, with some veteran agents performing minimal work for substantial pay and ballooning costs.”
Former executive-level leaders from HSI and Enforcement and Removal Operations have returned to the agency, “some of them taking home north of $250,000 for office-based shiftwork, per multiple sources who spoke to the Beast,” the outlet reports.
Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, has claimed that many of the new agents would be law enforcement returnees.
However, according to several insiders, several former senior employees have returned to the federal pay scale.
“With locality pay in high-cost areas—such as parts of Texas, California, and New York—adding 35 percent or more to a basic salary, agents can earn up to $137,000 in the majority of the country. This rises to $171,268 in more expensive parts of the country, such as San Jose and San Francisco,” The Beast reports.
Sources say that overtime pay has also added to the high paychecks, in addition to “ongoing federal pensions worth around $8,000–$9,000 a month, and some rehires can land well in excess of a quarter of a million annually.”
We really need to embed a mole into the payroll department so that we have an accurate list of names and addresses once America’s Nuremberg trials kick off.
These Gestapo really do need a date with the hangman’s noose once this fascist regime gets overthrown.
After a fair trial, of course. With plenty of signposts so they see all the process they are getting that they have denied others.
Stephen Miller isn’t even a grifter, he just genuinely hates Latin Americans. He’s always hated them, even as a child.
They recently tried to deport a Polish man who has been living in the US since the 1950s. According to them, they said he had an old deportation order due to a theft he committed in 1969 but since he was born in a Polish refugee camp in East Germany shortly after WW2 and neither East Germany (a politicial entity that no longer exists) nor Poland (which has changed significantly since 1969) wanted him, they just released him and didn’t follow through on the order.
Btw he has been a law abiding citizen ever since that time. Longer than Stephen Miller has been alive.
Cutting food support and medical care but we always seem to find money for Trump’s fever dreams.
I’m most looking forward to his trial.
He’s going to cry like a little bitch.
Will never happen. Dems are too spineless.
I’m most looking forward to his trial.
I’m looking forward to his funeral.
On account of him being a real actual little bitch?
Imagine letting that squinty little turd scream at you instead of simply beating the fuck out of him.
It would only take one time and he would crawl back into his weasel hole.
Of course Pee-wee German is angry. He can’t achieve orgasm without deportations. He’s dealing with a serious case of tiny blue balls.
What’s funny is he’s getting his wish but still furious.
Most “deportations” happen (or happened) at the border. Since the new admin, border crossings dropped to zero. So the deportations are actually lower than last year despite Stephen’s shouting.
But I’m not happy until he’s not happy, so good news there. Bad news for all law-abiding residents, though.
He’s created an entire fantasy world and gets mad that his fantasy isn’t what he pictured. It’s insane.
He actually can’t achieve orgasm without simultaneously choking a hooker, but his arms are nowhere near strong enough (effectively rendering him orgasmless).
Pee-wee German
*cackle*
I’ve been calling him PeeWee Himmler for years.
Put a cap on his head and send him out to take up the slack ;}
Can we deport Miller into the center of the sun
It would actually take less energy to send him out of the solar system. Huge delta v to slow down enough to get to the sun.
That’s not a good excuse for polluting interstellar space.
Please consider the environment when disposing your politicians.
Good point. Reverse gravity slingshot it is then.
Part of me wants to say we should save even more energy and just send him to CECOT. But to do so would mean being no better than him. I’m almost ok with that.
Tax dollars well spent IMO. Sometimes its about the message you know?
What about if he pays someone $100 to strangle him while they look into his eyes?
More like a one-way vacation to Hawaii island.
Specifically Kilauea.
I am imagining that Hitler “Downfall” clip, only in real life
Yup
Americans, now living under neo-Confederate occupation, completely shocked and watching Stephen Miller left to the mercy of the “useless idiots,” he screamed at for not hurting enough people and making him rich fast enough.
But also, it’s a slimy little worm man doing the shouting.
Every time I see him, he’s hilarious. He fancies himself a Hitlerian orator, but he has such a crippling lack of charisma that his speeches always come out cringy instead of strong or intimidating.
You mean Hitler or Miller?
Yes.
Yep
Mmmhmmm
Dang ol’ yup, man
I wasn’t sure who the original gif was but I tried to replace it with one more resembling of Miller
you mean The Great White Worm, certainly!
He needs to put on a pair of glasses, so his hands can tremble as he takes them off.
Come on, where are AI deepfakes if you need them?
Lmaao, fuuuuck what a perfect doppelganger
… * chef’s kiss *
…* butt doctor finger wiggle *
Motherfucker.
some of them taking home north of $250,000 for office-based shiftwork
Sucking up resources and not actually shooting and teargassing innocent people? These are the least-awful people there!
Party of fiscal responsibility.
That would honestly be the best thing you could do, is get hired at one of these really expensive positions, then just do nothing. So you’re draining resources from those that could do real damage, and directly taking the place from someone who could do worse.
I agree with the sentiment but there’s no draining of resources, just adding to the debt.
Yeah, in reality there’s a ton of shenanigans they could pull. However ignoring the financial part, having a person in a position that doesn’t enact fascist policies is always better than one who does.
That’s a prime modern sabotage suggestion. Get your friends hired, too.
I genuinely hope that there’s a movement among vets to just this. What a good way to get something back from the gov for the trauma they put them through while protecting their fellow Americans. Just be a wrench in the gears of the immigrant crushing machine.
That’s exactly what I was thinking of when I wrote the comment above. You want to grind the gears of fascism to a screeching, sputtering halt from within.
the US is spending resources to harass those who produce them
Nonsense! If we can just get all the Wrong Kind of People out, and let only the Right Kind of People in, then we will finally achieve Trump’s Economic Miracle the US will be Great Again and big grown men with tears in their eyes from all the winning
Deport Stephen Miller to an abandoned mineshaft.
insiders claim that the crash program has led to disorder, with some veteran agents performing minimal work for substantial pay and ballooning costs.
Honestly, I feel like this is the best use of the ICE budget: financially supporting vets who don’t deport anyone.
This is veteran cops, not military vets I think. Much less sympathetic characters.
Still rather they leech that money and not deport people than hiring someone who will deport someone.
Miller should be grateful that “lagging numbers” are the worst thing he’s had to deal with, so far. We’ve been FAR more patient with ICE than they deserve.
ICE is being extra cruel because of this. The numbers Miller expect are outrageous, which is why ICE does everything they can to meet them. Grab a guy who was just walking out of his immigration hearing? Drag mothers from their cars while their kid is inside crying? Raid entire apartment blocks? That’s exactly what happens when law enforcement has to meet a quota at any cost.
The numbers Miller expect are outrageous, which is why ICE does everything they can to meet them.
Just wait until there is a juicy target like a soccer stadium full of people with non-english accents…
He wants to murder people by the thousands, Nazi-style. It’s his hottest fantasy, and he is sooo close. To justify that, he needs so many detainees, that it is impossible to deal with them any other way than a final solution.
So these guys better get crackin,’ PeeWee Himmler needs to his rocks off.
Miller knows he’s also in danger.
I personally know people who would take the first opportunity they had to make sure he could never cause as much damage as he has again.
The only good Nazi…
