Companies hired by ICE would be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is considering hiring private bounty hunters to locate immigrants across the country, according to a procurement document reviewed by The Intercept. Under the plan, bounty hunters may receive “monetary bonuses” depending on how successfully they track down their targets — and how many immigrants they then report to ICE.

According to the document, which solicits information from interested contractors for a potentially forthcoming contract opportunity, companies hired by ICE will be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate, with further assignments provided in “increments of 10,000 up to 1,000,000.”

            Jesus Christ, people.

            It’s not a black and white situation. Hamas don’t get to be the good guys just because the IDF is clearly the bad guys. It’s not that simple, and there are no protagonists in this story. There are people who are committing genocide, and there are people who would love he opportunity to commit genocide (specifically Hamas). I can tell you which is worse, but that doesn’t make the other okay. And it’s all besides the point.

            The point was that the administration is totally fine with ICE thugs dying because they’re itching for a chance to escalate.

              Funny, I don’t recall saying that hamas was good, I was just adding to what you said. The point is that the hamas comparison was not a very good one, and ice is more like the gestapo or stasi

    What alignment would the person be that accepts and then specifically targets immigrant trump supporters? Chaotic good? Lawful neutral? Lawful evil?

      Lawful evil. Regardless of their political inclinations, no person should be criminalized for existing.

          While I agree with your comment, immigrant trump supporters are, for the most part, not the ruling class, so it actually seems kinda irrelevant.

            On top of that by the same logic they could argue illegal immigrants are not people. As soon as you begin removing protections from one group you remove protections from all groups.

    So they’re admitting they can’t do it themselves, and that the numbers of immigrants just aren’t there. You have the resources of a military, so much money, and you are just so dumb.

    So now instead of masked unidentified cops kidnapping people, there are going to be masked, unidentified non cops kidnapping people?

    This… this is going to devolve into armed gangs dragging random brown people off the street and turning them in for bounties (and then they get deported) without anyone at any point actually signing off on anything or checking if their a citizen or not isn’t it…

      Ok… and?

      (I mean, don’t get me wrong; the username certainly tracks: Vitriolic yarp lacking any real substance behind its incendiary call-to-action? Yep, that checks out, “god stuff”. Oh, and which god, exactly? 99.99% of 'em, down through history, I’m guessing?🤌🏼)

    I would love to join this program to send them on so many wild goose chases. But they’d probably arrest me for obstruction or some made up shit.
