Riffing on the idea of a fictional campaign called "ICE is..."--not to be confused with the militant Islamic group "ISIS"--the satirical video features wannabe ICE agents explaining what the agency means to them.
"ICE Is" Looking for Very Low-Level Recruits in Amazing New Spoof Video by Michelle Wolf
"I joined to capture those MS-13 animals who are infesting America. I haven't seen any yet, but I've heard about 'em."
Jul 20, 2018
Comedian Michelle Wolf put out a new clip on Friday that pokes some serious fun at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) by recognizing the terrorizing affect its practices have had on immigrant communities.
Riffing on the idea of a fictional campaign called "ICE is..."--not to be confused with the militant Islamic group "ISIS"--the satirical video, a segment from her Netflix series The Break With Michelle Wolf, features wannabe ICE agents explaining what the agency means to them.
"I joined because I wanted to secure the border but then I found out that's actually border patrol's job," said one wannabe ICE agent.
Another declared, "I joined to capture those MS-13 animals who are infesting America. I haven't seen any yet, but I've heard about 'em." A third bragged, "We're an age-old tradition, dating all the way back to 2003."

\u201cWow, ICE is ... really desperate for recruits. #abolishICE\u201d— The Break with Michelle Wolf (@The Break with Michelle Wolf) 1532111665
In the fake recruitment video, Wolf herself appears as Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. "We accept all levels of experience and education, from low to very low and actively welcome those with diagnosed anger issues," she announced as a mock ICE agent rips a mannequin baby from a mother's arms in the background.
With machine guns blazing, the video closes with the caption, "Apply now you sick fucks."
An Urgent Message From Our Co-Founder
Dear Common Dreams reader, The U.S. is on a fast track to authoritarianism like nothing I've ever seen. Meanwhile, corporate news outlets are utterly capitulating to Trump, twisting their coverage to avoid drawing his ire while lining up to stuff cash in his pockets. That's why I believe that Common Dreams is doing the best and most consequential reporting that we've ever done. Our small but mighty team is a progressive reporting powerhouse, covering the news every day that the corporate media never will. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. And to ignite change for the common good. Now here's the key piece that I want all our readers to understand: None of this would be possible without your financial support. That's not just some fundraising cliche. It's the absolute and literal truth. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. Will you donate now to help power the nonprofit, independent reporting of Common Dreams? Thank you for being a vital member of our community. Together, we can keep independent journalism alive when it’s needed most. - Craig Brown, Co-founder |
