Careers at ICE - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Very informative on what it’s like working for, applying for, and being interested in ICE ERO/HSI/OPLA etc.

Great method of outreach to students, recent grads, veterans and the public.

A whole new appreciation of ICE after listening and love how this podcast is just a bunch of tips on the process of becoming an employee and expanding in depth the mission of ICE.

Family separation, the formal policy, was unprecedented and a travesty of human rights. The child camps are monstrous. The large scale raids are heinous. I volunteered in this arena, including with a separated family, and know the kind of abuses and cruelty you are perpetuating. Long-term trauma on children and families who did nothing wrong other than claiming their legal right to asylum. Families fleeing poverty and violence which US policy helped create (know your history) now subjected to inhumane treatment, children left with attachment issues and PTSD from your violent, racist, unjust policies and procedures. I want to give you and your show negative stars but the app is forcing me to give you one. You officers being interviewed claim to be “family” men and women. Open your eyes to your hypocrisy and the terror you are wreaking on innocents.

The concept behind this podcast was solid, but the execution could be a lot better. It's understandable that a recruitment podcast would have to build up enthusiasm for the agency's mission and make the work sound appealing. However, at times, this podcast sounded more like political rhetoric about how dangerous undocumented immigrants are, instead of being just factual and informative.

The producers also should have more carefully considered the optics of some of the things that podcast guests had to say, in light of the various controversies surrounding the agency. It's difficult to hear a supervisory detention and deportation officer talk about being "a family man" in the context of discussing work-life balance (episode 4), and not immediately think about ICE's (and parent agency DHS's) role in detaining and separating families.
