ICE Agents Whine That They're Getting Stiffed On Pay--And No One Cares - The Logical Leftist

ICE employees are working without pay and without insurance. Despite government promises, frontline immigration officers aren't getting the compensation they were promised. This isn't just about ICE—it's about a government that treats its own workers as disposable.

In this video, we break down:

• How ICE agents aren't getting paid, or receiving benefits they were promised
• How federal workers continue to be used as pawns
• How weaponized incompetence is a hallmark of right wing governance
• The possibility that this is a purge of longtime govt workers to make room for radicalized true believers.
• Why no one really cares about the plight of Trump's brownshirts

This is the ultimate schadenfreude, the government that has unshackled ICE agents are now hanging them out to dry.

That's in line with corporate America.

I know the feeling. I worked at GE for 25 years. I did everything they asked. Near perfect attendance records. All my dedication and effort got me was a layoff. An unceremonious cardboard box to pack my things and 15 minutes to get off their property.
