Slate reporter Laura Jedeed recounts her visit to an ICE Career Expo event at the ESports Stadium Arlington near Dallas in Texas last August, which was offering on-the-spot hiring for deportation officers.

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.

But the 38 year-old is a Trump critic and describes herself as “anti-ICE”, something she assumed would rule her out of contention for a role when picked up vetting.

However, after booking an appointment with a recruiting officer and joining a short line, she claims the interviewer asked only her name, date of birth and age, whether she had any law enforcement or military experience, and about the circumstances in which she left the service.


 
Noem claimed that ICE has gotten 12,000 new agents. The reality is that 7,000 have joined, with 2,000 of them already leaving. Many experienced agents have also left. ICE no longer has the staff to do much in places they are not targeting.
