I saw the story too.

Certain industries realize where to focus their recruitment - the CIA is Ivy League, pharmaceutical reps were college cheerleaders, ICE is going after the “Yellowstone” crowd.

I have a coworker who goes to the black rodeo tour stop in Maryland. It’s a big deal. Makes sense, about 1/2 of the cowboys post Civil War were black. The actual Lone Ranger was black.

to receive a $50,000 or $100,000 recruiting bonus, or whatever it is,
to be hired into a job where they can continue to act as bullies....

If I were them, I suppose I would apply....
but I have never been them, nor put my conscience up for sale

CosPlay Conventions, Psychopaths Anonymous and your local all you can eat buffets, just to name a few. ICE is not picky.

Yeah, I know

Police officers are sworn. Heck, I had to swear an oath to uphold the Constitution when I began teaching. I can't see the ICE thugs doing that.

beat up in school, security guards who got fired, guys with domestic violence records, violent felons who served their time or are out on parole, Russians, dishonorably discharged former military, doomsday-preppers, gun fetishists and also men who, for good reason, have been sexually rejected by every human being.
