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.”
Put a cap on his head and send him out to take up the slack ;}
So scream back louder.
Motherfucker.
Can we deport Miller into the center of the sun
It would actually take less energy to send him out of the solar system. Huge delta v to slow down enough to get to the sun.
Part of me wants to say we should save even more energy and just send him to CECOT. But to do so would mean being no better than him. I’m almost ok with that.
What about if he pays someone $100 to strangle him while they look into his eyes?
More like a one-way vacation to Hawaii island.
Specifically Kilauea.

Honestly, I feel like this is the best use of the ICE budget: financially supporting vets who don’t deport anyone.
This is veteran cops, not military vets I think. Much less sympathetic characters.
Still rather they leech that money and not deport people than hiring someone who will deport someone.
I am imagining that Hitler “Downfall” clip, only in real life
Yup
Americans, now living under neo-Confederate occupation, completely shocked and watching Stephen Miller left to the mercy of the “useless idiots,” he screamed at for not hurting enough people and making him rich fast enough.
He needs to put on a pair of glasses, so his hands can tremble as he takes them off.

Sucking up resources and not actually shooting and teargassing innocent people? These are the least-awful people there!
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.
I genuinely hope that there’s a movement among vets to just this. What a good way to get something back from the gov for the trauma they put them through while protecting their fellow Americans. Just be a wrench in the gears of the immigrant crushing machine.
the US is spending resources to harass those who produce them
Stephen Miller has to know his day is up, Day of the Rope for you traitor bitches
He’s almost as mad as that time in high school he was told to clean after himself.
As a legal green card holder this just worries me, they need numbers and we are just an easy target, I didn’t do anything wrong but maybe they find an excuse anyway. It’s really scary.
I can see how that’s so stressful. I don’t want to dox myself but I was also potentially a target of this admin in some other way (there are many groups who are being targeted for all kinds of reasons), and the constant uncertainty is a real killer.
I just want to make sure that you are connected with your local community.
You aren’t alone, and friends are everywhere. So long as they can count on you, you can count on friends.

This guy is like a walking piece of celery
Fuck that. Celery is good with either peanut butter or cream cheese on it, or dipped in dressing. Stephen Miller would only be good dipped in lava.
Careful, if you put him too near lava, he may try to dig your heart out of your chest with his bare hands
Punchable face.
Wow. That is just. Wow. Ok… I guess the unhinged loony left strikes again.
How childish, and, and,… and just so uncalled for that you would stoop to such a level, as to imply that I… ::nervous cry/laugh::
I mean, you heard my wife say I was a sexual matador. We worked very hard to come up with that line. It took us all night to think of something that so perfectly conveyed brute strength and masculinity as theatre performed for an audience and the illusion of control.
I dunno if Stephen Miller has a small dick or not, but if he did and was really hung up about it, would he act any different?
