The Trumpenreich's quest to massively expand the US Gestapo really is the "gift" that keeps on giving. Recently I wrote about how ICE was spending the billions of dollars the GOP just gave them, on an objectively fascist recruiting drive to entice more nazis to join ICE with perks and a signing bonus up to $50K. At the time, I theorized that these massive signing bonuses were designed to attract recruits with experience in professional violence because there's no shortage of unqualified racist goons willing to brutalize and terrorize brown people for a paycheck in what has always been, a white supremacist America.

Well, if a couple of recent stories in the news cycle are to be believed, I may have overestimated the attractiveness of hunting down Hispanic people in the streets of "liberal" cities, even for American racists, because the Gestapo appears to be getting increasingly desperate to find a mere 10,000 new fascist thugs.

How desperate? Desperate enough to recruit goons over the ICE age cap of forty, and allowing recruits as young as 18 to join the Gestapo. And in a move that I'm sure is unrelated, washed up TV actor and frothing nazi Dean Cain, who is over forty, immediately signed up for duty.

'What Could Possibly Go Wrong?': Trump's ICE Is Now Recruiting Teenagers

"Approved applicants will be joining an agency rife with human rights and legal abuses as it scrambles to satisfy alleged ICE arrest quotas and President Donald Trump's desire to carry out the biggest mass deportation campaign in the nation's history—a campaign of kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment and expulsion of innocent people, family separation, concentration camps, terrorization of American communities, alleged torture and sexual crimes, and many other outrages.

Noem told Fox & Friends Wednesday that in addition to lifting the 40-year-old age cap, ICE applicants can now be as young as 18."

Keeping in mind that I don't think the major priority for Americans who don't want to live in a fascist dictatorship run by the dumbest nazis in the country should be "our nazis are unqualified and poorly trained" - turning armed, eighteen year old racists loose inside a secret police force that is conducting an ethnic cleansing operation, while actively violating our Civil Rights and ignoring the law, is categorically one of the dumbest, most dangerous things the Trump regime has ever proposed. Furthermore, I would encourage readers once again not to sleep on the objectively fucking Nazi tone DHS is using to advertise this. Between the artificially aged AI slop mimicking Third Reich recruiting posters, to tying "defending the homeland" with the father son relationship in the same way that was so crucial to early Nazi propaganda, I am pretty sure evoking Nazi Germany during the interwar period was quite intentional.

Still, the point here is that they wouldn't be trying to hire white nationalists right out of high school, or lure their aging fathers to the front lines of a made up war, if better applicants were falling all over themselves to sign up for the Gestapo. Which is why I don't think it's a coincidence that at the exact same time this was going down, noted D-list celebrity Superman actor Dean Cain went on Fox News to talk about the ICE recruiting drive, and then signed up immediately afterwards.

Former Superman actor Dean Cain reveals he’s becoming an Ice agent to support Trump’s mass deportation agenda

"Speaking on Fox News on Wednesday night, Cain told host Jesse Watters that he decided to join Ice after sharing one of their recruitment videos on his Instagram account on Tuesday, which Watters had spoken about on his show.

“I’m actually a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer – I wasn’t part of Ice, but once I put that out there and you put a little blurb on your show, it went crazy,” Cain told Watters on Wednesday. “So now I’ve spoken with some officials over at Ice, and I will be sworn in as an Ice agent, ASAP.”

You might be tempted to think that sending Dean Cain on Fox News to leverage his recent return to "relevance" into Gestapo sign ups would be too crude and obvious a propaganda ploy, but let me assure you that this is absolutely what the Trump regime is doing here. Cain's pitch about hunting down brown people being "the right thing to do" is the giveaway. Don't worry however, he also more or less just up and admitted he was doing this to get other aging racists back in the game for the Gestapo.

"Cain, who played Superman opposite Teri Hatcher as Lois Lane in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman in the 1990s, said he hoped others would join him. “I’m stepping up,” he said. “Hopefully, a whole bunch of other former officers, former Ice agents, will step up and we’ll meet those recruitment goals immediately, and we’ll help protect this country.”

Is America great again yet?
