Interview: Journalist tests ICE recruitment process

"They didn’t ask very many questions.”

Laura Jedeed was hired as an ICE deportation officer after a six-minute interview at a job fair in Texas.

There was no paperwork, no background check, a likely failed drug test, & she publicly shared her opposition to the Trump administration.

"Who are they hiring? They don’t know.”

"Somehow, despite never submitting any of the paperwork they sent me—not the background check or identification info, not the domestic violence affidavit, none of it—ICE had apparently offered me a job."

Reporter Laura Jedeed does a bang up job of demonstrating that ICE really doesn't even care if you finish the application or background check.

They will hire ANYONE who wants to go harass immigrants.

You know, its been a while(like maybe 3 days) since there's been an embarassing leak. Doesn't if feel like this story needs another leak?

Oh, well look at that, a super public anti-Trump Slate reporter managed to get hired by ICE and is explaining all of their internal processes and machinations. She did nothing to conceal her identity

"it takes about five seconds of Googling to figure out how I feel about ICE"
