Riffing on the idea of a fictional campaign called "ICE is..."--not to be confused with the militant Islamic group "ISIS"--the satirical video features wannabe ICE agents explaining what the agency means to them.
"ICE Is" Looking for Very Low-Level Recruits in Amazing New Spoof Video by Michelle Wolf
"I joined to capture those MS-13 animals who are infesting America. I haven't seen any yet, but I've heard about 'em."
Jul 20, 2018
Comedian Michelle Wolf put out a new clip on Friday that pokes some serious fun at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) by recognizing the terrorizing affect its practices have had on immigrant communities.
Riffing on the idea of a fictional campaign called "ICE is..."--not to be confused with the militant Islamic group "ISIS"--the satirical video, a segment from her Netflix series The Break With Michelle Wolf, features wannabe ICE agents explaining what the agency means to them.
"I joined because I wanted to secure the border but then I found out that's actually border patrol's job," said one wannabe ICE agent.
Another declared, "I joined to capture those MS-13 animals who are infesting America. I haven't seen any yet, but I've heard about 'em." A third bragged, "We're an age-old tradition, dating all the way back to 2003."

\u201cWow, ICE is ... really desperate for recruits. #abolishICE\u201d— The Break with Michelle Wolf (@The Break with Michelle Wolf) 1532111665
In the fake recruitment video, Wolf herself appears as Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. "We accept all levels of experience and education, from low to very low and actively welcome those with diagnosed anger issues," she announced as a mock ICE agent rips a mannequin baby from a mother's arms in the background.
With machine guns blazing, the video closes with the caption, "Apply now you sick fucks."
On January 20th, it begins...
Political revenge. Mass deportations. Project 2025. Unfathomable corruption. Attacks on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Pardons for insurrectionists. An all-out assault on democracy. Republicans in Congress are scrambling to give Trump broad new powers to strip the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit he doesn’t like by declaring it a “terrorist-supporting organization.” Trump has already begun filing lawsuits against news outlets that criticize him. At Common Dreams, we won’t back down, but we must get ready for whatever Trump and his thugs throw at us. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support.
