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.
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 Unconstitutional Rampage
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
