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.”

Journalist Tests ICE Recruitment; Surprised to Find Herself Hired with No Background Check

“They didn’t ask very many questions.” Independent journalist and U.S. military veteran Laura Jedeed recounts how she was hired as a deportation officer by Immigration and Customs Enforcement after a six-minute interview at a job fair in Texas, despite never signing any paperwork, not having completed a background check, likely failing a drug test, and publicly sharing her opposition to the Trump administration and its anti-immigrant crackdown. “It seems like the answer to the question, 'Who are they hiring?' is: They don’t know.”
