ICE Busted Handing Job Offer to Anti-Trump Journalist Without Vetting

The Department of Homeland Security’s claim that it did not give a job with ICE to a reporter without proper vetting was contradicted by the agency’s own portal.

Afghan veteran-turned-reporter Laura Jedeed detailed in Slate this week how she tested Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s mass hiring campaign by submitting an application—and getting quickly pushed through the hiring process.

Immediately after the story was published, DHS rebuked Jedeed’s claim, arguing that she was “NEVER” offered a job with the agency. But screenshots and videos shared by Jedeed from the agency’s job portal contradict the agency’s claims and bolster other reports that ICE’s hiring methods lack oversight.
