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."

Keep him screaming. Maybe his head will finally explode.

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....

With numbers declining, he only has a half chub. He needs to be full mast to do his job.

[–] SourGumGum@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

So scream back louder.

Corporate metrics applied to ruining lives.

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?

[–] bender223@lemmy.today 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

he makes me think of Clayton Bigsby, the black white supremacist

stephen miller is the jewish nazi

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)

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

Stephen Miller has always been a piece of shit

[–] blattrules@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] MOARbid1@piefed.social 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He’s big and bad until someone punches him in the fucking mouth. Wimpy lil bitch.

That would be far too kind for what he deserves

This guy is like a walking piece of celery

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

Careful, if you put him too near lava, he may try to dig your heart out of your chest with his bare hands

True evil ghoul of thing. This man needs to be arrested by the next admin.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Punchable face.

[–] SparkyBauer44@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You just unlocked a memory and made me realize who he's reminded me of this whole time!

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Just like Joseph Goebbels.
