Edith Olmsted for the New Republic reports on Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) recruiting efforts: 

“A cringey recruitment video released . . . by the Department of Homeland Security featured cars—a Ford Raptor and GMC Yukon—with massive ICE logos plastered on the side, and the name of the president printed on the back window in gold. . . .  The video shows the bulky cars swerving through the streets of Washington, as DaBaby’s `Toes’ plays in the background. . . . [This is] the Trump administration’s latest gimmick to recruit young people to execute the president’s sweeping and inhumane deportation scheme.”
