‘ICE’ COLD: Marty Considers Coming Out of Retirement to Heed the Call of the Wild
Retired IRS criminal investigator Martin Sheil comments on the ICE recruitment effort to rehire ex-federal workers to join its Gestapo in this Letter to Bette in which he envisions making key arrests
***Please take out a membership to support the light of truth.***
The headline in NPR reads:
“ICE recruits former federal workers to join its ranks amid hiring spree”
I scan the report further:
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is recruiting retired federal workers to join its enforcement, legal and investigative units as a part of a broader campaign to beef up hiring.
The requests came in an email, which was shared with NPR and posted on LinkedIn and elsewhere online, and asked them to "serve once more."
"This is a pivotal moment in our country's history, and your experience and expertise are vitally needed," the email states, which includes a message on a new webpage.
"On behalf of a grateful nation, we proudly call upon you to RETURN TO MISSION and claim your vital role among the courageous men and women of ICE."
The push to rehire retired workers comes as the administration has also sought to downsize large swaths of the federal government through mass layoffs and other changes to long-standing norms. Immigration enforcement agencies have been among the few to be exempt from the efforts to encourage employees to voluntarily resign and hiring freezes…
The report includes the lure of signing bonuses and a reminder that ICE — America’s Stasi — suffers from low morale.
I sent the report to Martin Sheil, a retired IRS supervisory criminal investigator, who oversaw the arrests of mobsters with names like Fat Larry, if he would consider coming out of retirement to ‘serve once more’ and ‘return to mission.’
Here is his Letter to Bette…
The Call of the Wild
by Martin Sheil

You are tempting me to come out of retirement and answer the call of the wild.
I believe my first official act as a bonafide law enforcement Immigration agent would be to arrest Secretary of DHS Kristi Noem, aka ICE Barbie, for impersonating a real law enforcement agent.
Listed on the arrest report under overt criminal acts by Noem — recall that ICE is only supposed to arrest the worst of the worst offenders — is her consistently bad to atrocious makeup when this imposter paints her face and claims to represent the commander in chief in her extremely poorly staged press conferences that scream amateur hour and embarrasses the MAGA elite!
I could also arrest Tom Homan for impersonating a Nazi badly.
Halloween is still three months away Tom, so stow the Goebbel-like speeches until then and give us a break...
In addition, part of my post-retirement ‘return to mission’ would be to give serious consideration to arresting Texas Governor Abbott.
What — you think just because you were born white and privileged in this country — that gives you the right to gerrymander people of color right out of their right to vote?
Think again, Greg…
SCOTUS is considering ditching birthright citizenship — that could make you an illegal. I will see to it that you are imprisoned in a Club Fed somewhere in Texas. Maybe, Greg, you and Ghislaine can become buddies.
You are tempting me Heidi, but you really don't want me to get started…
Marty
Anyone else love the idea of Marty heeding the call of the wild?
