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.”

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)
Stephen Miller has always been a piece of shit
Corporate metrics applied to ruining lives.
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.
But also, it’s a slimy little worm man doing the shouting.
you mean The Great White Worm, certainly!
Every time I see him, he’s hilarious. He fancies himself a Hitlerian orator, but he has such a crippling lack of charisma that his speeches always come out cringy instead of strong or intimidating.
I wasn’t sure who the original gif was but I tried to replace it with one more resembling of Miller
He needs to put on a pair of glasses, so his hands can tremble as he takes them off.

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.
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.
What about if he pays someone $100 to strangle him while they look into his eyes?
That’s not a good excuse for polluting interstellar space.
Please consider the environment when disposing your politicians.
Good point. Reverse gravity slingshot it is then.
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.
Just sentence him to a lifetime of picking up trash which he so clearly hates.
Force him to immigrate to Mexico.
Tax dollars well spent IMO. Sometimes its about the message you know?
More like a one-way vacation to Hawaii island.
Specifically Kilauea.
He’s almost as mad as that time in high school he was told to clean after himself.
Stephen Miller has to know his day is up, Day of the Rope for you traitor bitches
You just unlocked a memory and made me realize who he’s reminded me of this whole time!
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.
I’m sure it would be easy to cherry pick rapists, drunk drivers, assault/battery, murders and what not out of any group. Poof, it’s a matter of national security, Executive order
He’s always screaming; it’s not particularly newsworthy, nor is it anything that anyone should care about at this point. We should all stop paying attention to him and let him scream his head off into a void.
some of them taking home north of $250,000 for office-based shiftwork
Sucking up resources and not actually shooting and teargassing innocent people? These are the least-awful people there!
the US is spending resources to harass those who produce them
Nonsense! If we can just get all the Wrong Kind of People out, and let only the Right Kind of People in, then we will finally achieve Trump’s Economic Miracle the US will be Great Again and big grown men with tears in their eyes from all the winning
Party of fiscal responsibility.
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 agree with the sentiment but there’s no draining of resources, just adding to the debt.
Yeah, in reality there’s a ton of shenanigans they could pull. However ignoring the financial part, having a person in a position that doesn’t enact fascist policies is always better than one who does.
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.
That’s exactly what I was thinking of when I wrote the comment above. You want to grind the gears of fascism to a screeching, sputtering halt from within.
That’s a prime modern sabotage suggestion. Get your friends hired, too.

Listen, we only care about efficiency and abuse of funds if it’s some poor person getting healthcare or food! Otherwise it’s totally legitimate usage of public funds!
Fucking hypocrites as usual…
Miller should be grateful that “lagging numbers” are the worst thing he’s had to deal with, so far. We’ve been FAR more patient with ICE than they deserve.
Miller knows he’s also in danger.
I personally know people who would take the first opportunity they had to make sure he could never cause as much damage as he has again.
The only good Nazi…
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.
So these guys better get crackin,’ PeeWee Himmler needs to his rocks off.

Just wait until there is a juicy target like a soccer stadium full of people with non-english accents…
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?
katie miller said he was a matador in bed.
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.
