Reporter posts receipt after DHS claims her employment offer was a 'lazy lie'​

Many critics of the Trump Administration's mass deportations policy are arguing that President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem are creating a dangerous situation by putting poorly trained U.S. Immigration and Enforcement (ICE) agents on the streets of U.S. cities. In an effort to ramp up deportations, they contend, Noem and border czar Tom Homan have significantly lowered ICE hiring standards. And journalist Laura Jedeed, in an article published by Slate on January 13, pointed to her own experience with ICE as an example.

Jedeed's article inspired an angry backlash from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which accused her of lying. But she proved that the allegations in her article were absolutely true.

Jedeed went undercover, applying for employment with ICE at a recruitment drive in Dallas. And the vetting process, she reported in Slate, was incredibly lax.
