Insiders are saying the Department of Homeland Security's ICE hiring is in "chaos" and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller is reportedly angry over "lagging" deportation numbers.

A DHS source told The Daily Beast on Monday that President Donald Trump's push to "throw money around" while "panic at the top of government” has unfolded with Miller's disappointment over agents not reaching Trump's goal of 3,000 deportations per day.

“There are calls with Miller, where everyone is being screamed at,” the official told The Beast. “The targets he is setting for them are ridiculous, and it is a case of them just spending any money they can to increase the number of officers and deportations.”

Hiring within the agency has also presented other problems — agents joining before badges, system access or guns are available. Some say the money offer is luring veteran agents back and "insiders claim that the crash program has led to disorder, with some veteran agents performing minimal work for substantial pay and ballooning costs."

Former executive-level leaders from HSI and Enforcement and Removal Operations have returned to the agency, "some of them taking home north of $250,000 for office-based shiftwork, per multiple sources who spoke to the Beast," the outlet reports.

Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, has claimed that many of the new agents would be law enforcement returnees.

However, according to several insiders, several former senior employees have returned to the federal pay scale.

"With locality pay in high-cost areas—such as parts of Texas, California, and New York—adding 35 percent or more to a basic salary, agents can earn up to $137,000 in the majority of the country. This rises to $171,268 in more expensive parts of the country, such as San Jose and San Francisco," The Beast reports.

Sources say that overtime pay has also added to the high paychecks, in addition to "ongoing federal pensions worth around $8,000–$9,000 a month, and some rehires can land well in excess of a quarter of a million annually."

    That would honestly be the best thing you could do, is get hired at one of these really expensive positions, then just do nothing. So you're draining resources from those that could do real damage, and directly taking the place from someone who could do worse.

    What’s funny is he’s getting his wish but still furious.

    Most “deportations” happen (or happened) at the border. Since the new admin, border crossings dropped to zero. So the deportations are actually lower than last year despite Stephen’s shouting.

    But I’m not happy until he’s not happy, so good news there. Bad news for all law-abiding residents, though.

    Wait, can you clarify that for me? Are you saying that you want to punch him in the face more than you want to punch anyone else on the planet? Or... are you saying that you more than anyone else on the planet, want to punch him in the face?

    Cause it could be read either way... And while it might not seem like a huge distinction, if you meant the latter, you may have to get in line.

    Be prepared for a long line...

    We really need to embed a mole into the payroll department so that we have an accurate list of names and addresses once America’s Nuremberg trials kick off.

    These Gestapo really do need a date with the hangman’s noose once this fascist regime gets overthrown.

    After a fair trial, of course. With plenty of signposts so they see all the process they are getting that they have denied others.

    ICE is being extra cruel because of this. The numbers Miller expect are outrageous, which is why ICE does everything they can to meet them. Grab a guy who was just walking out of his immigration hearing? Drag mothers from their cars while their kid is inside crying? Raid entire apartment blocks? That's exactly what happens when law enforcement has to meet a quota at any cost.

    He wants to murder people by the thousands, Nazi-style. It's his hottest fantasy, and he is sooo close. To justify that, he needs so many detainees, that it is impossible to deal with them any other way than a final solution.

    They recently tried to deport a Polish man who has been living in the US since the 1950s. According to them, they said he had an old deportation order due to a theft he committed in 1969 but since he was born in a Polish refugee camp in East Germany shortly after WW2 and neither East Germany (a politicial entity that no longer exists) nor Poland (which has changed significantly since 1969) wanted him, they just released him and didn't follow through on the order.

    Btw he has been a law abiding citizen ever since that time. Longer than Stephen Miller has been alive.

    How funny would it be if the next administration just sent troops around the U.S. to arrest people with illegal mods on their trucks and tires that stick out from the wheel wells.

    My hope is that we win this passive aggressive, very poorly planned and executed war that's going exactly like you would expect it to go. Lots of harm to innocent people who don't deserve it, while the least deserving men hoard their profits and scream orders at their army to work harder and do the things they can't do on their own.

    I hope due process survives, and the men who are shrieking these orders will be given a fair trial at home and abroad, despite refusing that right to others. I also hope they spend the rest of their miserable lives behind bars, and working off their debt to society in (unfortunately) more humane conditions than they deem fit for the innocent individuals they're kidnapping and detaining.

    However, if we lose the war, at least we know there will be no due process for the men that helped destroy it. I think it's becoming pretty clear, that either way, we can probably look forward to the day their own army finally turns on Stephen Miller, and treats him to a good old fashioned Mussolini.*

    The Metamorphoses of Mussolini’s Body

    The vicissitudes suffered by his remains only served to confirm his prediction. The incoherencies and contradictions surrounding his death, which occurred on 28 April 1945, have subsequently fuelled an uninterrupted narrative which has become an integral part of his personal myth. The exact circumstances of his death, the ordeal of having his corpse publicly displayed in the piazzale Loreto in Milan, followed by the spiriting away of his remains from the city's Musocco cemetery by young neo-fascists, all helped facilitate his political resurrection ... Mussolini committed suicide using a cyanide capsule lodged in one of his teeth on 28 April 1945(*before he can swallow the cyanide capsule)
