ICE offers employees student loan repayment options?
As of 2025, ICE offered student loan repayment options for eligible employees as both a recruitment and retention tactic.
The Justice Department’s internal watchdog lost a crucial account from a whistle-blower detailing wrongdoing by political appointees for more than two months,
prompting criticism that the agency’s inspector general has been inactive and silent during a time of deep turmoil.
The complaint, submitted in early May, accused top Justice Department officials like Emil Bove III of overseeing an effort to mislead judges and skirt or ignore court orders,
according to people familiar with the filing.
That the office received, but did not act upon, a potentially explosive set of allegations two weeks before news of Mr. Bove’s nomination to become a federal appeals court judge
has raised serious concerns from current and former department lawyers that the unit responsible for policing not just the department but agencies like the F.B.I. and D.E.A. may have gone largely dormant.

in reply to Luigi. 🇵🇸 🇻🇪 🏴 • • •The video features a black and white cat standing on a marble surface next to a window with black bars. The cat is being showered with water from a handheld showerhead, held by a person whose hand is visible on the left side of the frame. The cat appears calm and slightly curious, with its head turned to the side, looking at the water. The background shows a view of buildings outside the window, indicating an urban setting. The cat's fur is visibly wet, and water droplets are seen on its body and the surrounding area. The scene is well-lit, with natural light coming through the window, and the marble surface reflects the light, adding to the overall brightness of the scene. The video captures the cat's reaction to the water, with its fur becoming increasingly soaked as the shower continues.
