Uncle Sam wants you - to deport undocumented immigrants? To "defend your culture"? The Department of Homeland Security is ramping up ICE recruitment with their "Defend the Homeland" campaign. DHS has dropped the age and education requirements, and is throwing cash incentives at applicants - no experience needed. It's becoming clear that this is not about border security.
Award-winning journalist Radley Balko argues Americans should be alarmed, "we are explicitly creating a paramilitary for Trump.” University of Toronto’s Dr. Jason Stanley shares his concern and is worried about the impact the job will have on the new inexperienced agents, “what they are doing will affect them for their whole lives…it's brutal work.” - Aired on 08/09/2025.
