The Department of Homeland Security is scrapping age limits for new Immigration and Customs Enforcement recruits as it ramps up hiring with a major funding boost from Congress.

Previously, applicants had to be at least 21 and no older than 37 or 40, depending on the role within the agency tasked with locating, arresting and detaining noncitizens lacking legal status. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox & Friends that applicants as young as 18 could now be “trained and ready.”

      I don’t think they want to give me access to their network or armory. I’ll most certainly abuse the fuck out of their incompetence and beat it like it owes me money.

      Idk. They want loyalists but they’re putting a lot of money on the table. I’m not sure what meta they’re following. I’m honestly a little surprised they couldn’t find enough white supremacists to join up - It’s like the military, but you stay in the country? I thought racists would jump on that.

      I don’t think they’d draft me. I’m their political enemy, I’d be used for slave labor

        There are a LOT of horrible people in this country, but not as many as it seems. They’re just hugely overrepresented in the government.
