Source: WION ICE is offering up to $50K signing bonuses as well as loan forgiveness in an effort to hire 10,000 more officers. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem exhorted applicants, saying that their skills, experience, and courage have never been more essential, and they will help defend the homeland. In a bid to ramp up hiring, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, is offering signing bonuses of up to $50,000 (£37,700) and student loan help to “brave and heroic” Americans keen to help the Trump administration’s deportation drive. The agency is aiming to recruit deportation officers, along with attorneys, criminal investigators, student visa adjudicators, and other roles. ICE plans to add 10,000 personnel, doubling the agency’s headcount as it ramps up deportations across the country. ICE has launched a recruitment campaign as the government plans a major expansion of immigration enforcement after a recent infusion of money from Congress and is promising up to $50,000 in signing bonuses. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement campaign recalls recruiting posters from World War II with images of Uncle Sam and the words “AMERICA NEEDS YOU.” There also are photos of Trump and top homeland security officials with the words “DEFEND THE HOMELAND” across the images. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a release, “Your country is calling you to serve at ICE. This is a defining moment in our nation’s history. Your skills, your experience, and your courage have never been more essential. Together, we must defend the homeland.” The funding for the recruitment drive comes from approximately $165 billion allocated for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill. In addition to the signing bonus and student loan repayment and forgiveness of up to $60,000, ICE is promising hefty overtime pay for deportation officers and “enhanced retirement benefits”. Deportation officers are tasked with helping apprehend and process undocumented migrants for removal from the US and get salaries between $49,739 and $89,528 per year, depending on experience and education. ICE currently has 20,000 officers and support personnel at 400 offices across the country.

So I suppose you would support the selling off of the Shrine.

Right. It's George W Bush.

Don't know where you get pickle from.

Correct.

On the opposite side of the lake from the pits. When it wasn't closed for the race, I drove on that road every day going home from work.

Correct in a round about way.

Don't dare criticize anything Labor does. Nev said so. If Labor sold off the Harbour Bridge and Opera House, that would be OK with Nev.

Both. https://www.realcommercial.com.au/news/govt-land-selloff-3-billion-in-prime-properties-up-for-grabs

Are you cheating again onetrack?

Victoria Barracks.

Correct. The arrows represent compass points, South, West, East, East,..etc.

Don't know the story of the lines, but it looks like Lakeside Drive Albert Park, The F1 circuit.

When driving along the road and the double white lines where the nearest line is broken, rule 128 of the Highway Code says you may cross the lines to overtake when it is safe to do so and you can complete the manoeuvre before reaching a solid white line on your side. If the road has double white lines where the nearest line is solid, rule 129 of the Highway Code says you must not cross or straddle these lines unless it is safe and you need to enter a property on the side of the road or a side road. When the broken white line is closest to you, you may turn over it to enter a property or service station. You may not turn over an unbroken line. It is permissible to cross an unbroken line to bypass a hazard such as a fallen tree or accident, PROVIDED it is safe to do so. You MAY NOT cross an unbroken line to overtake slower traffic.

The joke was that there are no potholes.

No ......... there are no potholes in the road.

Nope.

How can you tell this image is not real?

The largest military property sell-off in Australian history is underway, after the Albanese government agreed to put 64 ‘vacant, decaying’ Defence sites – estimated to be worth as much as $3 billion – on the market.. Some of Australia’s most valuable and historically significant military landholdings are now up for grabs, including Victoria Barracks in Sydney’s exclusive Paddington and its Melbourne counterpart, as well as the birthplace of the RAAF, Williams Base at Point Cook. Theis is an operating airfield and home of the RAAF Museum

Once again I've been hoodwinked. The image came up labelled with another name. I Googled that person, and there was this photo. When you named Myrna Loy, I Googled her and found the same photo. I wasn't the only one hoodwinked. Further research produced this: https://www.sydney-yaeko.com/artsandculture/this-is-not-estelle-getty The Google search for Estelle brought up this compound image, from an article on The Golden Girls.

Correct.

A photo of ??? when she was younger.
