    Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin called coverage of one reported kidnapping a “hoax” in a post Tuesday on X and said: “ICE does not employ bounty hunters to make arrests.”

    I’ll take that as official confirmation that ICE is, in fact, employing bounty hunters to make arrests.

      Welp, they don’t employ bounty hunders, they said so themselves. So every masked armed person trying to break in my house is a criminal.

      “we have never employed bounty hunters. And you are a horrible human for implying that. We do use armed security contractors, who we pay a stipend for each illegal collected for deportation. Not the same thing at all, which any patriotic American can see. In fact, you are unamerican for even thinking it. Off to the Everglades you go!”
