    The Pentagon has continued to insist that it is critical that troops do ICE’s scutwork. “This ongoing support, provided in response to a May 9, 2025 request for assistance from the Department of Homeland Security includes case management, transportation and logistical support, and clerical support for the in- and out-processing of illegal aliens at ICE detention facilities,”

    So ICE is going to handle disappearing people, and then the military is going to be in charge of herding them into the concentration camps.

    It’s a proud day for America, hmm?

      Honestly, I didn’t expect great reading comprehension or other skills necessary for clerical work from people who knowingly choose to be neo-nazis.

        I think that’s why they’re having the National Guard do it. Turns out the ICE employees aren’t even as qualified as a fifth grader.

        It’s a benign way to attach them legally to the effort. The next step of the slippery slope is to have them act defensively to protect ice agents, but then go back to their administrative duties.

    National Guard peeps who actually give a shit about your country: fill that peperwork with as many clerical errors as you possibly can. Best case, you give a legal defense team ammo to have a case dismissed. Worst case, you get chewed out. You been chewed out before…

        That’s a great way to make sure nobody can find their family members. They should fuck up everything but the names

      Yeah! Help disappear those folk. The ACLU can rescue them one at a time. Your hands will be clean!

      Fuck that shit. This is like saying “hey, make sure you have part of your shirt untucked while you herd people from the train to the concentration camp. That’ll show them!”

        Oskar Schindler: Stern, if this factory ever produces a shell that can actually be fired, I’ll be very unhappy.

        It is important that even if you stay on in order to sabotage, that you still do not commit any morally bad acts. NONE of your paperwork should ever pass muster.

    This is where the grit in the gear works comes into play. Oops, filed out the wrong form? Oh no, I misspelled their name. Only Page 2 of 4?

    Adhere to every single bureaucratic policy till it hurts. Do it slow. Make small enough mistakes that would mean the work has to be done again.

    Do your job, but just poorly enough to slow this shit down. Make fascism inefficient.

    E4 mafia:

    • didn’t hear them order using any particular font
    • didn’t hear them order to use English on the paperwork
    • didn’t hear them order to complete it accurately
    • didn’t hear them order to complete it correctly
    • didn’t hear them define what “paperwork” means in the context of this order
    • didn’t hear them define what “do” means in the context of this order
    • didn’t hear them say we shouldn’t put the ICE in the mess hall walk-in and lock it behind them so it doesn’t thaw out

    I know it’s probably over-optimistic, but I do hope there’s a LOT of malicious compliance fucky-fuck games going on to stall the fascists.

    I don’t even know what we’re doing as a country at this point. My rent has almost tripled in ten years and we’re focused on doing this shit. I’ve been homeless before, I guess I’ll get to try what it’s like to be homeless ✨in a fascist state✨

      If it makes you feel any better, they don’t really have any idea what they are doing, either. Bunch of idiots in control of a giant machine they can’t even begin to comprehend. So it is natural for we mere cogs with >3 functioning neurons to be befuddled.

    Remember everyone: You need to Support The Troops ™ if you want any salmon for dinner.

    One of the few things still bringing me joy is that I can laugh at all the dumbasses who thought the military wasn’t going to speedrun “We’re just following orders”

    I would be pissed off if I was a National Guard soldier. Their incomes have dropped considerably for the BS orders to assist the SS/NKVD.

    I was wondering how they were going to solve that particular problem.

    Because there ain’t no lazy like “ICE lazy”.

        Be slow, make mistakes, ask questions incessantly. You can actually do more damage to an organization by being a bad worker than by quitting and being replaced by someone that’s at all competent.

        EDIT: https://www.cia.gov/static/5c875f3ec660e092cf893f60b4a288df/SimpleSabotage.pdf

        But, you do have to be careful. If completing the paperwork is a morally bad act, it remains so even if it takes you 3 days instead of 30 minutes, and even if no one else ever knows, you will always have to live with yourself. There’s a line from Schindler’s list about wanting to guarantee that none of the shells the factory would ever fire; he wanted them ALL to be duds.
