Regardless of who you shill for.
[QUOTE=ShinamotoJason;7263191]Hi Mr. Coffee,
I understand your skepticism, but I'm not one of them. Although I respect your freedom of conscience, I encourage you to hold onto your beliefs, as long as you find my report meaningful. I've encountered similar doubts in every city where I've reported on her for the first time. She truly is a rare gem, young and beautiful.
Best of luck.

(For your information, the attached picture is just a most similar representation.).[/QUOTE]Coffee's point is that verification for TOS is oppressively intrusive. Disclosure of real name and place of employment. I don't care if they have my real name but I am self-employed and use an email address not in the name of a recognizable corporation. I have been to HC several times but TOS completely ghosts me as a result. I have no doubt that she is all that you claim but TOS is needlessly restricting her potential clients.
Thanks for the inside info. And context.
It has always been my impression that a majority recruited to ICE have a chip on their shoulders and are ready to unload violence on those less fortunate than them (whether they be immigrants or American citizens). Likely a good amount of racist tendencies amongst the group. If democrats gain power again, I imagine there will be inquiries and indictments to follow and we'll get a look behind the curtain on what type of folks were recruited. Many of us moderates and those that run in the middle politically don't want any of this at all. A lot of immigrants come here to seek the American dream and are really hard workers and generally good folks. There are bad eggs in any group and I'll be honest, my assumption is there are as many solidly rotten eggs that work within ICE as there are in the immigrant population that comes here. ICE exploiting others with newly unfettered power to pretty much detain anyone they want without much legal recourse is incredibly dangerous. The similarities to the gestapo are chilling in my mind. I'm just waiting for when one of them actually kills a US citizen.
I would strongly avoid any interaction with them and I'm a born and bred American. You just don't know what they are capable of and how to what depths they'll go to coverup any unlawful actions that they may engage in during their raid activities. Incentivizing the bagging of extra 'bodies' on top of mandatory quotas just rewards bad behavior.
[QUOTE=MmceStep;7447860]That's not really their emphasis. The brother of one of my friends is on one of the teams. Simply put, they get a bonus for every removal beyond quota, and they have a quota to remove each day / month. I have another friend that runs a business where he needs blue collar laborers (a job Americans don't want to do, low pay, high impact on the body). He's lost two employees since this all began (he thinks he's really lucky that it's only two). Both were here legally with work visas. Neither had a criminal record. One of them had even been a cop in Brasil and was nabbed going into an asylum hearing where he was required to bring his evidence of his police career. He had photos, his police I'd, etc. He left Brasil because the gangs were threatening to kill his family. He basically goes back broke because his wife and child self deported to be with him, before they sold their belongings here (really dumb). Needless to say, he's going to be in a rough spot once he's back there. I haven't spoken to the ICE guy myself yet, but his brother told me they 'don't care at all' whether or not someone's done a crime. Their goal is removals, so hassling, or deceiving someone here legally is 'just as good'. This is why they're going into Home Depot, going up to landscapers etc. There are very few situations where they have a specific person in mind.[/QUOTE]
