You know who would? Cops looking for a reason to kill people. ICE has been involved in a bunch of shootings this year, and at least a few of them have not been legally justified.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to pour $100 million into a yearlong recruiting blitz that zeroes in on NASCAR tracks, UFC arenas, gun shows, and military communities.
At its core, the plan is simple: find people who already embrace a culture of patriotism, tactical gear, and combat sports, then convince them that immigration enforcement is a natural extension of those values. The scale and targeting of the effort, however, raise deeper questions about who ICE wants in uniform, how it intends to use them, and what this says about the future of federal policing.
The $100 million “wartime” plan and who ICE wants to hire
ICE officials are preparing to spend $100 m over a single year on recruitment, a figure that underscores how central staffing has become to the administration’s immigration agenda. Internal planning documents describe a $100 million budget for a “Wartime Recruitment” effort, language that signals a shift from routine hiring to something closer to a surge posture. The money is earmarked to attract gun-rights supporters and “military fans,” a deliberate attempt to tap into communities that already see themselves as comfortable with weapons, hierarchy, and high-stress environments.
