Will those who work/worked for ICE be employable in the future?

[Anonymous]

I have a friend who took an internal transfer within DHS and now works with ICE (think administrative job, not officer). ICE funding will not stay the current level forever, so at some point I have no doubt that multiple jobs at ICE will be eliminated.

Will my friend have an issue with future employment, any employment, because of time spent at ICE?

As mall security, sure.

Would YOU hire someone who has ICE on their resume? I sure as hell wouldn’t.

God willing yes 100% yes.

Who the hell works for ICE? Not anyone with a brain or anyone who loves the Constitution and America.

Go away MAGA idiot

If the folks currently in power at the national level remain in power, and/or are in a position to shape public attitudes going forward, ICE on her resume won't be a hinderance.

If the pendulum swings, and public opinion is anti-ICE, I wonder if the best analogy to your friend would be someone who did admin work at a tobacco company after it had come out that tobacco companies had been manipulating nicotine content and otherwise undermining public health.

Agree with this overall, except that some employers will skip her resume even while the current administration is in power. If anything, now is the time when those people might be open to a candidate saying "I can't work there anymore."

She will not have an issue. When ICE funding gets cut and she gets RIF'd she will have first priority for all of the new federal jobs that are opening up. She will get hired.

Okay, bigot.

This is quite unfair. People take jobs for all kinds of reasons. Maybe the ICE office was 5 minutes from her house. Maybe she'd been working there for years before this admin. Maybe that job accommodated a medical or schedule issue. Maybe she was absolutely desperate for income or insurance and that was the only offer. Maybe she has a conscience, and you should want people with a conscience to stay at an agency like that.

It would never cross my mind to hire an immoral thug, and usually the problem is that said thugs don't advertise that fact and therefore it's possible to hire one by mistake.

So no, ICE on the resume would be an automatic decline. Makes my job easy, really.

Nope. You know what you're going to be asked to do if you work for ICE. It is the modern day Gestapo. They round up people who might remotely look like they fit the profile they're looking for, and even when presented with proof of citizenship, sometimes they attempt deportation and lie through their teeth before releasing the person. This happened to a woman in Maryland, born in the US, transferred to 4 different holding facilities one after the other in an attempt to confound to get her out of the US without pushback from her legal team, and who was released 25 days later in the face of overwhelming evidence that she was born in a hospital in the US, with a US birth certificate, vaccination records, and notes from her pediatrician.

Yes, I will. They are just doing their jobs to make a living.

They should be respected as any police officers.

I would rather cut cable, eat rice and beans, and move to a smaller home. I would do anything to avoid working for such a terrible organization.
