#ice-recruitment

A man from Tennessee who wanted to apply because of "the way things have become with the illegal immigration and the strain it's been on our economy." And a young Latino who was already catching flak for trying to work for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. A friend texted: "Oh hell no Ricardo I thought you was joking. I will not speak to you ever again if you become and ice agent ... You have a dad who was deported dude."

Immigration and Customs Enforcement held a hiring expo this week outside Dallas at a place called the Esports Stadium. Set between the Texas Rangers ballpark and the roller coasters of Six Flags, the arena was built for video-game competitions, and a wall of bright-blue screens welcomed job candidates at the entrance.

"ICE is recruiting. I don't know if you know this. There's going to be almost no age limit. You can be as young as 18 or as old as you want to be."
