2paragraphs: Kristi Noem Ends Age Limit for ICE Recruits After Reportedly Receiving 80,000 Applications

President Trump‘s domestic policy bill included $165 billion in appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security. According to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, a portion of the funds will help “to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens” in the United States.

Noem, who said in June that she plans to hire 10,000 new ICE agents, last week issued a recruitment campaign on social media featuring photos of her wearing an ICE vest and President Trump saluting.

Today, the DHS announced in a press release: “In less than one week since DHS launched its recruitment campaign, more than 80,000 Americans applied to join ICE.”

It also revealed that Noem has lifted age limits for new applicants, “so even more patriots will qualify to join ICE.” Prior to the announcement, ICE was accepting applications from those 21 to 37 years old.

Note: All ICE law enforcement recruits are required to go through medical screening, drug screening, and complete a physical fitness test. Those selected to serve are offered:

  • A maximum $50,000 signing bonus
  • Student loan repayment and forgiveness options
  • 25% Law Enforcement Availability Pay (LEAP) for Special Agents
  • Administratively Uncontrollable Overtime (AUI) for Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) Deportation Officers
  • Enhanced retirement benefits

LEAP compensation allows for “unscheduled duty” pay of up to 25% of regular salary, an acknowledgement of the “irregular hours” required by the job.

Great, now old people can join in the abuse, too. 🙁

2paragraphs: Kristi Noem [Bimbo #2] Deserves “Special Place In Hell” After 9-0 Supreme Court Decision, U.S. Congressman Says

Trump’s moves have been frequently stymied so far by lower courts, forcing him to appeal his cases at the Supreme Court where 6-3 the conservative majority has given him some early wins — or at least delays.

But in Noem v. Abrego Garcia, a unanimous decision by the nine justices appeared to support a lower court’s ruling that the Trump administration — and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — cannot and should not leave a Maryland man in a prison in El Salvador after admitting that the U.S. mistakenly sent him there.

(The Trump administration claimed, implausibly, that it could not bring Abrego Garcia back, despite its mistake in deporting and imprisoning him.)

…

Decrying what many view as the administration’s overt violation of core American principles, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) asserted that “there is a special place in HELL for the people who are willing to argue to the Supreme Court that the man they MISTAKENLY sent to an El Salvador prison should stay there.”

Kristi Noem Deserves “Special Place In Hell” After 9-0 Supreme Court Decision, U.S. Congressman Says
The Trump administration is putting the Supreme Court through its paces with “emergency” applications after a POTUS record for executive orders being issued in the first months of Trump 2.0, many of them resulting in legal challenges. (The SCOTUS emergency docket currently lists Trump v. Wilcox, Trump v. Washington, Trump v. CASA, Trump v. New […]

2paragraphs: U.S. Congressman Tells Billionaire To “Shut Up” After Trump Tariffs and “Economic Nuclear War” Comment

Going so far as to call on a nuclear war analogy, Ackman warns: “The president has an opportunity to call a 90-day time out, negotiate and resolve unfair asymmetric tariff deals, and induce trillions of dollars of new investment in our country. If, on the other hand, on April 9th we launch economic nuclear war on every country in the world, business investment will grind to a halt, consumers will close their wallets and pocket books, and we will severely damage our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate.

Take your blinders off, Bubba. King Donald has already “severely damage[d] our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate.” The deed is done.

Meanwhile:

U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) replied to Ackman: “If you enabled him in becoming president may I suggest you shut the [expletive] up?”
