You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
Slate ^ | January 13, 2026 | Laura Jadeed

Posted on 01/16/2026 12:01:19 PM PST by Twotone

The plan was never to become an ICE agent.

The plan, when I went to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Career Expo in Texas last August, was to learn what it was like to apply to be an ICE agent. Who wouldn’t be curious? The event promised on-the-spot hiring for would-be deportation officers: Walk in unemployed, walk out with a sweet $50k signing bonus, a retirement account, and a license to brutalize the country’s most vulnerable residents without consequence—all while wrapped in the warm glow of patriotism.

At first glance, my résumé has enough to tantalize a recruiter for America’s Gestapo-in-waiting: I enlisted in the Army straight out of high school and deployed to Afghanistan twice with the 82nd Airborne Division. After I got out, I spent a few years doing civilian analyst work. With a carefully arranged, skills-based résumé—one which omitted my current occupation—I figured I could maybe get through an initial interview.

The catch, however, is that there’s only one “Laura Jedeed” with an internet presence, and it takes about five seconds of Googling to figure out how I feel about ICE, the Trump administration, and the country’s general right-wing project. My social media pops up immediately, usually with a preview of my latest posts condemning Trump’s unconstitutional, authoritarian power grab.

You mean DHS doesn’t want someone who will sabotage their operations working for them?

I’m shocked.

Check this out. If what I read at this link is accurate, there may be a reason she got the job...

https://antifawatch.net/ViewReport/16d38231

Per the above...

“...She served in the Army as an intelligence analyst for the 82nd Airborne...”

IF true, she kinda left that part out, didn’t she...

Gee, wonder why?

She took an oath to the constitution. Did she read it? No

“a deportation campaign large enough to shift America’s demographic balance back whiteward”

Which she says with clear contempt.

Isn’t it funny that the Left has been screaming for “the browning of America” for sixty years now but finds it illicit for the opposite to happen?

It shows what post 1965 immivasion is really about, and what the so-called “immigrants” are really after: racial dominance.

I don’t read the likes of slate and won’t give them clicks. Either you provide the summary or I just let it go.

It’s true...

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/ice-undercover-journalist-recruitment-immigration-b2900345.html

Per the above...

“...Jedeed joined the Army after graduating from high school and been deployed to Afghanistan twice with the 82nd Airborne Division, subsequently working as a civilian analyst....”

So she hoped they’d refuse to hire because she’s a Deep State handmaiden.

Then she could accuse them of discrimination.

So DHS is damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

Who put her up to this.

Hey, it’s Slate. They think that Lenin and Stalin are just swell.

The Founders and the Constitution, not so much.

Liberal women are the most dangerous enemy of our country has.

You’re welcome.

Two things I keep in mind...

Trust but verify. Everything. Always.

And a quote...

“A truth that’s told with bad intent, Beats all the lies you can invent. “
