ICE agents are the worst people in the world. If you’re a good person and you’re working for ICE, you don’t really exist, because all the good people have resigned by now.
In Maine, an ICE agent told a woman filming him in public – which is entirely legal to do – “we have a nice little database, and now you’re considered a domestic terrorist.”
In Minneapolis, days after an ICE agent publicly murdered Renee Good, agents were referring to Good’s death to threaten civilians. “Listen, have y’all not learned from the past couple of days? Have you not learned?”
Garret Grass reports that “Overall, CBP’s arrest and misconduct rate is FIVE TIMES higher than other federal law enforcement agencies — and, in fact, if you look over the last decade, the arrest rate of CBP officers and Border Patrol agents (.5%) has been HIGHER than the arrest rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States (.4%).”
Brookings wrote about “reports of ICE using excessive force, such as in the case of Julio Sosa-Celis, and of U.S. citizens being arrested or detained based on their accent or appearance, including Native Americans.”
On January 20, a 5-year-old with a pending asylum case was apprehended by ICE as he arrived home from preschool. School officials say he was used “as bait” to attempt to arrest other family members and members of his community.
ICE agents are some of the worst people, and that’s not an accident.
ICE is deliberately trying to attract the worst people in the country, by using white nationalist dog whistles in recruitment ads. For instance, they’ve posted ads using the slogan “We’ll Have Our Home Again,” a quote from a white nationalist anthem.
Since 2020, the song has been circulated on the messaging app Telegram almost exclusively by accounts linked to far-right extremists, according to analysis by Open Measures, a research firm that specializes in online extremism.
With lyrics about replacement by foreigners, Beirich says the song is only popular in white nationalist spaces. “This is the kind of thing that I can’t find to be a mistake,” she said.
ICE has also famously lowered “the bar for recruits, including reduced training, slower background checks, and lower physical abilities… Some ICE recruits reached the training academy before fingerprinting, drug tests or background checks were completed.”
Washington Post reporter Drew Harwell commented on ICE recruitment:
With this kind of campaign, they feel like they’re going on the internet and basically just saying, “Hey, if you want to pick up a gun and start shoving people around, you want to join us.”
No wonder ICE has been killing people – thirty two people in 2025, and they’re on track to kill many more than that in 2026.
Most of the drawing in this one is basic – mostly just a guy talking straight to the camera – although I hope it’s good. The last panel was the most fun to draw, just because there’s so much more going on there. And – as far as chicken fat goes – I’m very pleased with my little “summary of everything popular on YouTube” at the bottom of panel three. Frank Young did a terrific job with the colors, despite my giving him zero guidance. (It’s so handy to work with a colorist who gets my cultural references).
TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON
This cartoon has four panels.
PANEL 1
A middle-aged man in a button-up shirt points directly at us, contempt on his face. He’s standing in a park.
MAN: You! Yeah, you! Face it – you’re a loser.
PANEL 2
The man continues berating us.
MAN: You’ve never accomplished much of anything, and you never will, because you’ve got nothing to contribute.
PANEL 3
We’re looking at a hand holding a smartphone; on the phone’s screen, the man continues his rant.
MAN: But you still think you’re better than most people. Especially the dark skinned ones. You’re basically a piece of shit and you want to hurt people.
PANEL 4
We switch scenes to a cluttered living room. Two women are relaxing on the sofa, one with her feet up on the other’s lap. The second woman is looking at her smartphone.
WOMAN 1: What on earth are you watching?
WOMAN 2: New ICE recruitment ad.
PHONE: Well, have I got a job for YOU!
CHICKEN FAT WATCH
“Chicken fat” is long-dead cartoonists’ slang for what the kids now call “Easter eggs.”
Panel two: In the hollow of a tree is a human skull. Through the eyeholes, we can see a bird sitting inside the skull.
And on the ground, an evil bunny glares and smokes a cig.
Panel three: Thumbnails of other videos are below the main image. The other videos are named “CATS,” “puppies,” “BOOBS,” “SPORTS!,” and “RAGE.”
Panel four: There are two framed pictures of the wall, one of a giant worm wearing a polo shirt, the other of the title character from the 1990s cartoon “Daria.”
The cat snoozing on the sofa is wearing glasses.
The first woman has a tattoo of an octopus with a mohawk, and also a snake winding around her arm.
The book on her lap says “BOOK TITLE, by Author Name.”
The second woman has a tattoo of Harold from Harold and the Purple Crayon. She’s wearing a t-shirt with the “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” planet logo.
One coffee mug on the table has a picture of an apple with a worm hole. The other mug has a picture of a worm looking puzzled (I think it’s looking for its apple).
A book on the coffee table is entitled “GREG: Like God, but taller” by “A Horne,” a reference to the UK TV show “Taskmaster.”
GEORGE TOWN, June 1 — An IT consultant has lost nearly RM1.5 million after falling victim to an online cryptocurrency investment scam syndicate known as ‘Crypto Kakaue’.
Penang police chief Datuk Azizee Ismail said the victim, a 63-year-old man, lodged a report at the Commercial Crime Investigation Division of the Southwest district police headquarters on Saturday.
He said in a statement that the victim was drawn into the scheme after coming across a cryptocurrency investment advert on Facebook in December 2023.
“The victim then clicked the link in the advertisement before contacting the suspect via WhatsApp,” he said, adding that the suspect offered an investment scheme involving the buying and selling of the USDT cryptocurrency.
Azizee said the victim subsequently joined a WhatsApp group chat called ‘Saham Mececah Hati Orang’, where he was told about the investment and offered high returns.
He said the victim was told to install an app called ‘Kakaue’ and conduct cryptocurrency transactions.
“Between March and September 2024, the victim carried out nine money transfers to six bank accounts belonging to companies provided by the suspect, involving a total of RM1,494,410.
“However, after all the transactions were completed, the victim was unable to withdraw or transfer the profits and capital shown in the application to his personal account,” he said, adding that the case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. — Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR, June 2 — The investigation into a case involving the grandson of the late Kelantan menteri besar Tan Sri Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, who allegedly claimed he was slapped by a senator during an official university programme in Janda Baik, has been handed over to Pahang police.
According to Harian Metro, Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said police in Kelantan only received the report lodged by the victim at the Kota Bharu district police headquarters.
“For further investigation, the case has been handed over to Pahang police. We only received the police report, which was lodged at IPD Kota Bharu,” he said today.
Earlier, Nik Alif Aiman Abdul Ariffahmi, the grandson of the former Kelantan menteri besar, alleged that he was slapped by a senator during a university programme in Janda Baik, Pahang, on May 20.
He said the incident allegedly took place at about 6pm after a lecture session held in conjunction with the Bangsa Empowerment Programme 2.0 at the Institut Latihan Memperkasa Ummah (ILMU).
According to him, the invited speaker at the programme was a senator who was also introduced as a board member of a university.
He claimed that during a casual interaction after a photo session, a deputy vice-chancellor informed the senator of his family background as Nik Abdul Aziz’s grandson.
Nik Alif alleged that the conversation later turned political, during which the senator allegedly criticised PAS before suddenly slapping his left cheek with his right hand.
