Despite a historic recruitment drive that added 12,000 agents in recently, the agency’s administrative backbone appears to be buckling, with employees desperate enough to turn to the Reddit to detail their struggles.

In raw, unfiltered Reddit posts now spreading beyond law-enforcement circles, ICE officers describe going a month or more without a paycheque, struggling to secure medical cover for sick children, and watching promised bonuses quietly stall.

    No health insurance? Man, it would be really awful if they got hurt on the job. That would be really, really expensive for them. Even with worker’s comp, they would still have to use their own insurance, or lack thereof, for treatment.

    I’m glad this administration is so incompetent so the thugs carrying out the crimes are also suffering in some significant way.

    Rot in hell ICE goons.

    And kindly find yourselves cold, lonely, and miserable in the mean time, secure in the knowledge that you not deserve and will never be able to experience love.

    What, you expected TRUMP of all people to honor his promises and pay his bills? You must’ve been born yesterday, you fucking rubes and marks. Take your awards and fuck off to hell, Fascist scum.

        Although it may feel like it at times this is just wrong. Everybody deserves second chances. Doesn’t mean you get off Scott free, though.

          Every single minute of every single day, these pieces of shit choose to continue being pieces of shit. Fuck second chances… they’re on like their 480,000th chance by now. And they’re still doubling down on being pieces of shit. At some point, you just have to realize that they’re not going to redeem themselves.

            Yeah. People need to stop harmful behavior. But no one is incapable of change or beyond redemption.

    I think lefty doctors should offer free medical care to ice agents and their families. It’s only right. Treat them, and shackle them to a fucking rock somewhere.

    Let their sick little piglets fucking die. This is the world they want. Let them feel it.

    I don’t know if it’s right to kill their children, but i know by their own ethics it’s wrong to interfere with their property.

    The government doesn’t know how to do anything except what was already there. So new employees don’t get paid because they don’t know how to.
