I break down a leaked recruitment strategy and what it signals for 2026.
A leaked strategy outlines a $100M, wartime-style recruitment push to swell ICE ranks, leaning on geo-targeted ads at gun shows and NASCAR events and tapping militia-adjacent pipelines. The stated goal: add ~10,000 hires via ad saturation while lowering standards (age, mental/physical, and incentive sweeteners) to fill seats. I connect this to Project 2025 and why the propaganda drumbeat matters next year.

What we've seen over the last year is that ICE as an agency is full of people who can barely meet the physical and mental requirements to hold those positions. There's a reason why these people wander the streets with masks on because they're ashamed of what they do. Make no mistake about it, ICE is not a federal agency. They're an unofficial paramilitary squad and more closely aligned with Trump's death squad than any law enforcement agency.

The new recruits are gonna come from the ranks of gun aficionados, paramilitary militia members, immigration influencers. And on top of that, the regime is planning on using geo-targeted ads as a way to boost recruitment. And specifically, they're looking at NASCAR races and gun shows as a recruitment funnel for their hiring objectives.

Anybody else that doesn't fall into that category is basically the working class and slave labor. To feed the billionaire PET projects that are gonna be broken up on a regional basis. That's the vision of Stephen Miller, and more importantly, that's the vision of the Republican Party as dictated by Project 2025.
So this recruitment effort as detailed in the Washington Post is a wartime footing recruitment effort designed to swell the ranks of ice. Because, shocker, most Americans don't want to be participants in an ethnic cleansing program.

Now if you're sitting there and thinking. Obviously this ad push is designed to swell the ranks with qualified applicants. You'd be wrong. This is basically an effort to bring in anybody that has a pulse and. Has enough motor skills to pull a trigger to sign up in their ranks. This is not going to be an elite squad of federal law enforcement professionals. This is actually going to be something that is worse than McNamara's morons, and it's gonna lead to even worse results and outcomes than that particular squad did during the Vietnam era.

This is just the next step in the process.

This is their push for a Fourth Reich, and the sooner we come to terms with the reality of what's happening, the better off we're gonna be and the more prepared we're going to be. To punch them back and punch them back. Hard.
