ICE Flooded With Thousands of Fake Applications for 'Citizens Academy'
https://www.newsweek.com/ice-flooded-tho...my-1521597
Quote:The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has been flooded with thousands of bogus applications for a controversial new "Citizens Academy" focused on its Enforcement and Removal Operations unit.
The flood of fake applications was prompted by a call to action from Never Again Action, a Jewish political action group campaigning to abolish ICE that draws its name from the "Never Again" slogan invoked in reference to the Holocaust.
"ICE is asking the public to apply to be part of their armed vigilante 'Citizens Academy,'" Never Again Action said in a tweet.
"Well, let's give them what they asked for: thousands of applications! Except our applications are going to be... a little different. Time to #FloodICE."

That's what I call right move.

Wait ICE wants to great a sweet propaganda program to encourage people to become snitches? That's not mildly worrying at all.

Yep, and everyone will still pounce on me if I say that it reminds me so much of times back in Germany. Whatever.

Well, ya know, the parallels aren't perfect so they must be false parallels.
