    This move is right out of the Trump business playbook. He’s been not paying workers and committing fraud against contractors his entire adult life. Avoiding the payout was the plan from day 1 when the bonus was offered–I’m betting Trump himself recommended this outcome. Fuck ICE. I hope every agent experiences bankruptcy and hardship. They ruined their lives to serve a child-rapist.

    I take two things from this:

    1. The guys they are attracting are so incompetent that they can’t make it through their probation period.
    2. They either are generally incompetent, or not savage enough. One of these is funny, and one of these is deeply concerning.

      Secret third thing: they never intended to keep them in the first place, and it was a scam the whole time. I doubt 1 or 2 are even plausible.

        It’s not a secret third thing.

        As soon as we heard that the signing bonus was related to a probationary period, everyone who knows anything about how Trump does business said, “Nobody is getting that bonus.”

        It’s extra shitty if they paid it out up front and now the employees have to pay it back, but none of this comes as a surprise.

    Not only do these idiots get what they deserve, but it’s also hilarious that Trump is scamming and turning his most hardcore supporters against him

    This is objectively funny.

    Fuck every single one of them. I hope they are financially crippled from this and learn something important about trusting authoritarians.

      It’s even funnier. The bonus was taxable, they paid not a little bit of it to tax right away. They don’t get that refunded but they do still have to repay the 50K in full.

      In other words, trying to be a racist pieces of shit professionally was very expensive. As it should be.

        Guess who those taxes are going to. This keeps getting funnier the more I think about it.
