Sometimes I wonder how feasible it would be to join and sabotage them from the inside
The danger of doing something “ironically” or “to gain access from the inside” is, you MUST have a hard cutoff point, both in terms of time spent and things accomplished, and you MUST exit as soon as either one happens, regardless of the status of the other.

Possibly less so now that you’ve posted about it publicly lol
Per the article ICE doesn’t seem to care about that, or things like skipping your drug test
Maybe, but also you might be underestimating their incompetence.
Probably very.
