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.”
I’m most looking forward to his trial.
He’s going to cry like a little bitch.
I’m most looking forward to his trial.
I’m looking forward to his funeral.
Will never happen. Dems are too spineless.
On account of him being a real actual little bitch?
Stephen Miller gets irate when he finds out Mexican people made his Mexican food. Everything causes him to freak out and scream! He’s one of the most disgusting and useless humans ever to slither across this planet…
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.
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.
Come on, where are AI deepfakes if you need them?

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.
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.
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.
the US is spending resources to harass those who produce them
Party of fiscal responsibility.
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
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.
That’s not a good excuse for polluting interstellar space.
Please consider the environment when disposing your politicians.
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.
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.
Cutting food support and medical care but we always seem to find money for Trump’s fever dreams.
Stephen Miller isn’t even a grifter, he just genuinely hates Latin Americans. He’s always hated them, even as a child.
Perhaps this ups the irony when he becomes a piñata?
Of course Pee-wee German is angry. He can’t achieve orgasm without deportations. He’s dealing with a serious case of tiny blue balls.
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.
He’s created an entire fantasy world and gets mad that his fantasy isn’t what he pictured. It’s insane.
He actually can’t achieve orgasm without simultaneously choking a hooker, but his arms are nowhere near strong enough (effectively rendering him orgasmless).
He’s almost as mad as that time in high school he was told to clean after himself.
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.
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.
The numbers Miller expect are outrageous, which is why ICE does everything they can to meet them.
Just wait until there is a juicy target like a soccer stadium full of people with non-english accents…
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…
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.

Motherfucker.
Can we deport Stephen Miller back to the fiery pit from which he came?
Even Miller should get a due process hearing
