DHS Tried To Discredit Reporter Who Exposed Their Shoddy ICE Hiring Practices—And She Brought The Receipts
A U.S. Army veteran who served two tours in Afghanistan and is now a journalist critical of ICE and the Trump administration, Jedeed assumed her outspoken views would disqualify her.
But after a brief interview of basic questions, she says she received a tentative offer email and later saw her status listed as “Entered on Duty” in the government jobs portal — even though she never completed the required paperwork, background checks, or disclosures.
Jedeed declined the position and argued that the experience exposed “minimal screening” and a deeply flawed recruitment process at ICE, raising concerns about who might be hired.
DHS denied she was ever officially offered a job, calling the claim “a lazy lie":
"This is such a lazy lie. This individual was NEVER offered a job at ICE. Applicants may receive a Tentative Selection Letter following their initial application and interview that is not a job offer. It just means they are invited to submit information for review, similar to any other applicant."
You can see the department's post below.
But Jedeed came with the receipts, posting video she says shows a final offer and onboarding date—the footage also displays a completed background investigation dated six days after her listed Entrance on Duty, contradicting claims that she was never formally hired.
She also shared a screenshot of the internal dashboard showing that DHS had indeed offered her a position.

She also pointed out the flaws with DHS' logic, writing on X:
"The new line seems to be that I lied to ICE so of course they hired me which, first off, would also be a pretty big problem. Me lying, them not catching it? Hmm. But here's the thing: I didn't lie. I used my real name, DOB and social. My resume was 100% accurate."
She added:
"I didn't go in here intending to get hired, I intended to get in the door, hand in my (accurate!) resume, get out before they figured out who I was, and write an article."
"And y'all can cope and seethe and pretend it's fine that ICE is handing out guns to literally anyone, but it's very hard to take your whole 'anyone who opposes ICE is a domestic terrorist' thing seriously when you're simultaneously arguing that ICE should be hiring those people."
DHS was swiftly called out.
In her article, Jedeed observed that the ICE expo she attended "was part of ICE’s massive recruitment campaign for the foot soldiers it needs to execute the administration’s dream of a deportation campaign large enough to shift America’s demographic balance back whiteward."
She pointed out that "despite this event’s lackluster attendance, their recruitment push is reportedly going well; the agency reported 12,000 new recruits in 2025, which means the agency has more new recruits than old hands. That’s the kind of growth that changes the culture of an agency."

Owner Of Adult Store Stunned After Pentagon Demands She Stop Shipping Butt Plugs To Soldiers In Middle East
In a TikTok on their business account, Bennett shared the letters she received asking her to stop shipping her company's products to Defense Department personnel in Bahrain.
She captioned it:
"Made my week. Think I’m gonna frame this in a PINK frame."
You can see her video here:
Bennett began by stating:
"If I had a dollar for every time the American Department of Defense and the kingdom of Bahrain were mad at my spicy toy business, I would have a Twoonie because I got two signed letters..."
Twoonie refers to the Canadian two dollar coin.
According to the letter, Bonjibon's products were "posing an immediate danger to life or limb or an immediate and substantial danger to property."
Bennett shared that these dangerous devices included a butt plug and bullet vibrator.
The United States Postal Service and the DOD work together through the Military Postal Service Agency (MPSA), managed by the Army, to provide worldwide mail services (APO/FPO/DPO) for service members. These address formats don't reveal the country, just the person and military unit.
Bennett had no idea her business's products were going to a country where they would be illegal.
She told CTV News:
"We didn’t even know it was going to Bahrain until it came back to us months later, and it just kind of unraveled this whole … hilarious moment."
The letter—with the subject line "Adult item Identified during X-ray Mail Screening"—sent by the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command fleet logistics centre in Bahrain read in part:
"During security screening by Bahrain Customs, pornographic materials and or devices were identified in a package addressed to you. This letter is to notify you that your parcel was returned to the sender. Please notify the sender that pornographic materials or devices are not allowed into the Kingdom of Bahrain."
Bennett added:
"We got a huge kick out of it. I mean, we don’t judge, we want everyone to order whatever they want and we want everyone to feel confident and start shopping for whatever they want. But, there is a juxtaposition of a military person in a foreign country ordering butt plugs and having no understanding that those items are illegal in the country that they’re in."
"I don’t know why they’re sending me very cross letters saying, ‘Stop sending items that could cause bodily harm to this country.' This sounds like a you problem. The call was coming from inside the house."
Bennett says the customers were reimbursed for the products they paid for.
"There’s many layers of hilarity to this that we can all just poke fun (at) and the situation is quite funny, while at the same time, I genuinely want everyone—I’m sad that they didn’t get their order."
In a follow-up video, Bennet placed one of the letters in a bedazzled frame for display in her office.
People found the letters hilarious and baffling.

According to their website, Bonjibon is devoted to the principles that:
- Feminism is inherently intersectional.
- Consent is mandatory, active and enthusiastic.
- Pleasure is good.
- Topics of pleasure, sexuality, and wellness should not only exist in the margins of society. They deserve cultural, and literal, space.
- eCommerce shouldn’t kill the planet. All of our shipping materials and back of house processing is done with mindfulness to the environment and recycling programs.
- Natural and ethically sourced products are good for the body, planet and soul.
Unfortunately, as Grace Bennett stated, they're unable to share their products with areas of the world where "spicy toys" are illegal.
Maybe the recipients can sign up for their online magazine instead.
Viral Clip Of ICE Agent Absolutely Eating It On A Patch Of Ice In Minnesota Has The Internet Cracking Up
Multiple videos of what happens when ICE disrespects the power of ice in Minnesota quickly went viral across social media. A masked ICE agent found out the very hard way what happens when a person runs on ice without the proper gear.
You can see the video from one angle here:
And here it is from another angle:
People were not exactly oozing sympathy for the ICE agent who jumped from their vehicle to run across ice like he had something important to do.
And the best part? He immediately ran back to his vehicle after getting back on his feet.

This wasn't the only time ice took out ICE. A prior viral video showed two agents mistaking black ice for wet pavement, which is obviously a rookie mistake.
While the country is learning about the dangers of ICE, maybe it's time ICE learned the dangers of ice. A little additional training couldn't hurt, and would be a much better choice than waiting for warmer weather to melt the ground.
