The Trump administration is planning a massive propaganda campaign aimed at recruiting thousands of new federal immigration enforcement officers to carry out its mass deportation agenda.
The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that it had obtained internal documents revealing that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is planning to spend $100 million over the next year on what the agency describes as a “wartime recruitment” drive.
The propaganda blitz will be targeted at highly specific demographics, including “people who have attended UFC fights, listened to patriotic podcasts, or shown an interest in guns and tactical gear,” according to the Post.
Here I am looking for a job while my government is handing out millions of dollars to the worst kind of shitty people. So great.
Awww, the $50K bonuses aren’t pulling in the numbers?
Turns out, normal people just don’t like doing evil shit for a stunningly corrupt dictator.
They’re trying the Weimar Way, not working as smoothly as they’d hoped.
The Weimar didn’t have to deal with an audience that has already seen what happens to Nazis.
Not to mention that, when the Nazis overthrew the structures of their government, you could ask any supporter and they’d tell you all about how Hitler loved the German people and was passionate about restoring their national dignity.
It’s getting harder and harder for even Trump’s supporters to feel like he cares about them or America, let alone any undecideds that they’re trying to pull in with this ad campaign.
Fair point that Trump is a hell of a lot worse at his job than Hitler was.
Hitler was a highly popular leader in Germany while Trump can’t get past a 40% approval rating.
Yup. America has the hindsight that Germany never had.
To be fair, America now has the scale and bandwidth of misinformation that the Nazis never had.
i heard theres a stipulation attached you have to be there certain number of years.
The Trump administration earlier in the year announced plans to entice new ICE recruits by offering them $50,000 sign-up bonuses and assistance with repaying student loans in a bid to double the agency’s head count.
Reminds me of this:
All over Russia, young men have been recruited to go to the front. Their families receive the equivalent of $2,000 to $20,000, or more, depending on the region. In three years, the government spent almost $38 billion, or 1.5 percent of Russia’s GDP, on these payments.
2026 is the year to EVACUATE the United States of Israel
I love guns. Fuck ICE
This won’t end at deporting immigrants. “First they came for the immigrants…”
The sooner your launch meaningful protests the sooner you can end this.
We protest like hell! In the authorized places at the authorized times without getting too rowdy.
People here don’t believe in real protest. They think peaceful protest makes a difference, it doesn’t. They think waiting until elections and voting makes a difference, it (mostly) doesn’t.
Until enough people realize aggression and possibly violence is the answer, nothing will change and they’ll sit around with their thumb up their ass wondering why.
aggression and possibly violence is the answer
And give them what they want? No. MAGA is already fighting amongst themselves as is.
Exactly. Why risk lives escalating to violent resistance when the opposition is doing such a great job tearing themselves apart?
Republicans officials are leaving the party every day, Trump has backed off the National Guard, the Epstein files debacle is only growing in strength, entrenched party seats are flipping every time they’re up for election…why interrupt your enemy when they’re in the middle of making a mistake?
Let them fight it out. Whoever’s left at the end will be weaker and easier to defeat.
Martial law in October.
Two weeks? Seriously, he’s been threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act all year.
Two weeks?
“Two weeks.” I.e. they always delay this shit because they got nothing.
Ahhh, well October is martial law. There’s a pretty obvious ramping up to it.
It was very nice of them to tell us in advance.
Don’t waste it. Get out.
