Not if we can flood them with net people then it’s just the baseline behavior
They have been taking pictures and using facial recognition at protests, they are adept at scouring people’s online footprint, and they have thousands of employees. How do you plan to get a statistically significant number of sympathetic people into their ranks undetected, and then keep them there as they throw a wrench in the works?
This is a pipe dream.
You’re ascribing more competence to these people than they deserve. They’re not omniscient. And trawling social media only gets you so much. Hell, you can tell them you’re generally liberal but opposed to illegal immigration if you really want. Yes, the Trump admin has some pretty extensive social media search capability, but that’s for their upper level cabinet officials. They just can’t afford to be that picky for the type of low-level position I’m talking about. ICE has expanded by leaps and bounds, way beyond any ability for them to properly screen applicants.
That may be so, but the problem is getting a statistically significant number of people to participate and go unnoticed. People are already being arrested for interfering with ICE. If they have a bad employee, they will get fired. If they think that employee intentionally let people get away, they will be arrested. If they think there is a conspiracy to create hundreds of bad employees (which is what we are doing here), then they will investigate and find a reason to arrest en masse.
This is MAGA. Incompetence is their brand. I doubt they can make any of that happen efficiently.
Besides, just forcing them to jump through all those hoops on every applicant is already a win.
They seem pretty competent at spreading misery and pain so far.
But it’s a FUNNY pipe dream at a grim time.
It is definitely a fun thing to think about, just not realistically feasible as the person I was responding to was hoping for.
Fair enough
Even in the best case scenarios you still have “I was a modern nazi” as a documented thing you did that you could end up needing to explain for the rest of your life. How plausible does “Oh, but I was secretly one of the good guys!” sound to you?
Yeah, that was in the back of my mind, if there is ever a Nuremberg 2.0 I was one of the good guys wouldn’tcut it unless you have a shit load of evidence in your favor which would also endanger your job you were working on for ice Which probably has full access to everything you record
Eh, officially being fired for incompetence is a pretty good piece of evidence in your favor. Plus assumedly there wouldn’t be any witnesses that could report you actually committing any of the worst ICE offenses.

Apply for the job, go to the interview, waste their time. Nothing illegal about not taking a job offer.

And drag out the interview, ask lots of questions, repeat questions, never make a move to leave until they order you to. Eat up the interview time of several applicants.
