According to the Guardian, Stephen Miller, lead xenophobic ghoul in Trump’s cabal, has championed the idea of paying a bonus for every person detained by the Department of Homeland Security. Also this week, ICE announced [that] they are getting rid of any and all age restrictions on hiring. Truly a model of professionalism and standards. Trump and his [neo]fascist pals swore up and down that they had no plans for a bounty of any kind. Later reporting in the New York Times confirmed The Guardian’s report, and noted that the only reason that the bounty didn’t happen was because of the spotlight from journalists and activists.

Bounties create perverse incentives for ICE agents to further break the law in pursuit of Trump’s ethnic cleansing project. Let’s stay vigilant that this grotesque bonus structure never gets put in place.
