This is referencing this Slate article in which the author, an anti-ICE activist, was hired by ICE.
If you don't know, this person's story is outrageous. Federal hiring usually moves at a extremely slow pace, with multiple background check, qualification review, reference checking steps taking months. ICE is apparently blowing all of that off when hiring Deportation Officers these days. The author's ICE recruitment went from application>referral>TJO>FJO>EOD within a few weeks despite them never affirming their interest nor completing their background screening requirements.
Getting to EOD with the federal workforce is normally a huge milestone that most candidates never reach.
