Columnist Laura Jedeed confirmed she had not only been offered a position in the Immigration and Customs Enforcement wing, but had her health and fitness checks signed off in advance.
"The catch, however, is that theres 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 countrys general right-wing project. My social media pops up immediately, usually with a preview of my latest posts condemning Trumps unconstitutional, authoritarian power grab. Scroll down and youll find articles with titles like 'What I Saw in LA Wasnt an Insurrection; It Was a Police Riot' and 'Inside Mike Johnsons Ties to a Far-Right Movement to Gut the Constitution.'
His attitude shift was subtle, but instant and unmistakable; this was the wrong attitude and the wrong answer. 'Just to be upfront, the goal is to put as many guns and badges out in the field as possible,' he said."
Jedeed went on to suggest the "only thing ICE is screening for is a desire to work for ICE: a very specific kind of person perfectly suited for the kind of mission creep we are currently seeing."
