Their employment is way up

The story is 10,000 new ICE agents. Sounds like a lot, but even if they actually are making $100K a year (which means an employer cost of roughly $200K each), that's $2 billion -- or a staggering 1% of the $200 billion allocated to ICE in the recent spending bill (with the name so stupid I refuse to ever type it). Even as bad as ICE is, it's still mostly a boondoggle for stuffing the wallets of trump supporters.

And I'll bet most of these ICE agents aren't even making $100K a year. It's just too obviously a shoestring operation for that to be the case. I suspect a lot of these "ICE agents" are actually undocumented immigrants themselves, given a stark choice between abducting other random Spanish-speaking people or deportation. And paid very little, just like undocumented immigrants everywhere.
