Insiders are saying the Department of Homeland Security’s ICE hiring is in “chaos” and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller is reportedly angry over “lagging” deportation numbers.

A DHS source told The Daily Beast on Monday that President Donald Trump’s push to “throw money around” while "panic at the top of government” has unfolded with Miller’s disappointment over agents not reaching Trump’s goal of 3,000 deportations per day.

“There are calls with Miller, where everyone is being screamed at,” the official told The Beast. “The targets he is setting for them are ridiculous, and it is a case of them just spending any money they can to increase the number of officers and deportations.”

Hiring within the agency has also presented other problems — agents joining before badges, system access or guns are available. Some say the money offer is luring veteran agents back and “insiders claim that the crash program has led to disorder, with some veteran agents performing minimal work for substantial pay and ballooning costs.”

Former executive-level leaders from HSI and Enforcement and Removal Operations have returned to the agency, “some of them taking home north of $250,000 for office-based shiftwork, per multiple sources who spoke to the Beast,” the outlet reports.

Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, has claimed that many of the new agents would be law enforcement returnees.

However, according to several insiders, several former senior employees have returned to the federal pay scale.

“With locality pay in high-cost areas—such as parts of Texas, California, and New York—adding 35 percent or more to a basic salary, agents can earn up to $137,000 in the majority of the country. This rises to $171,268 in more expensive parts of the country, such as San Jose and San Francisco,” The Beast reports.

Sources say that overtime pay has also added to the high paychecks, in addition to “ongoing federal pensions worth around $8,000–$9,000 a month, and some rehires can land well in excess of a quarter of a million annually.”

    Stephen Miller gets irate when he finds out Mexican people made his Mexican food. Everything causes him to freak out and scream! He’s one of the most disgusting and useless humans ever to slither across this planet…

    They recently tried to deport a Polish man who has been living in the US since the 1950s. According to them, they said he had an old deportation order due to a theft he committed in 1969 but since he was born in a Polish refugee camp in East Germany shortly after WW2 and neither East Germany (a politicial entity that no longer exists) nor Poland (which has changed significantly since 1969) wanted him, they just released him and didn’t follow through on the order.

    Btw he has been a law abiding citizen ever since that time. Longer than Stephen Miller has been alive.

    We really need to embed a mole into the payroll department so that we have an accurate list of names and addresses once America’s Nuremberg trials kick off.

    These Gestapo really do need a date with the hangman’s noose once this fascist regime gets overthrown.

    After a fair trial, of course. With plenty of signposts so they see all the process they are getting that they have denied others.

    Stephen Miller isn’t even a grifter, he just genuinely hates Latin Americans. He’s always hated them, even as a child.

    Of course Pee-wee German is angry. He can’t achieve orgasm without deportations. He’s dealing with a serious case of tiny blue balls.

      What’s funny is he’s getting his wish but still furious.

      Most “deportations” happen (or happened) at the border. Since the new admin, border crossings dropped to zero. So the deportations are actually lower than last year despite Stephen’s shouting.

      But I’m not happy until he’s not happy, so good news there. Bad news for all law-abiding residents, though.

        He’s created an entire fantasy world and gets mad that his fantasy isn’t what he pictured. It’s insane.

      He actually can’t achieve orgasm without simultaneously choking a hooker, but his arms are nowhere near strong enough (effectively rendering him orgasmless).

    Sucking up resources and not actually shooting and teargassing innocent people? These are the least-awful people there!

    Miller should be grateful that “lagging numbers” are the worst thing he’s had to deal with, so far. We’ve been FAR more patient with ICE than they deserve.

      ICE is being extra cruel because of this. The numbers Miller expect are outrageous, which is why ICE does everything they can to meet them. Grab a guy who was just walking out of his immigration hearing? Drag mothers from their cars while their kid is inside crying? Raid entire apartment blocks? That’s exactly what happens when law enforcement has to meet a quota at any cost.

        Just wait until there is a juicy target like a soccer stadium full of people with non-english accents…

        He wants to murder people by the thousands, Nazi-style. It’s his hottest fantasy, and he is sooo close. To justify that, he needs so many detainees, that it is impossible to deal with them any other way than a final solution.

        So these guys better get crackin,’ PeeWee Himmler needs to his rocks off.

      Miller knows he’s also in danger.

      I personally know people who would take the first opportunity they had to make sure he could never cause as much damage as he has again.
