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 wouldnt 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 countrys most vulnerable residents without consequenceall while wrapped in the warm glow of patriotism.
At first glance, my résumé has enough to tantalize a recruiter for Americas 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 résuméone which omitted my current occupationI figured I could maybe get through an initial interview.

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. Keep going for long enough and you might even find my dossier on AntifaWatch, a right-wing website that lists alleged members of the supposed domestic terror organization. I am, to put it mildly, a less-than-ideal recruit, wrote an astonished Jedeed.

I moused over the exclamation mark next to Onboarding and a helpful pop-up appeared. Your EOD has occurred. Welcome to ICE!
By all appearances, I was a deportation officer. Without a single signature on agency paperwork, ICE had officially hired me.
