ICE looking at Linkedin profiles?

a friend of mine noticed that someone from ICE was looking at her Linkedin profile. It couldn't be for employment purposes as her skill set is as far away from what ICE needs as can be. She is a lefty, who is involved in progressive causes, so naturally we are concerned what this is all about.

She's not, she is wondering how she can work this into a free trip to Ireland (lol)

ICE is trumps private gestapo.

that's it to my post, just thought this was interesting

searching interesting profiles

LinkedIn makes connection recommendations that are often very strange, the ICE person could be following one of these

It is certainly worth noting

maybe she hit the tight keywords in the search. With upcoming large scale deportations, I am sure ICE will need many more employees.
