Overview
- Laura Jadeed writes that USAJobs listed her as having accepted a final ICE offer with an onboarding status of 'Entered On Duty' despite her not submitting background, ID, or affidavit forms.
- She says a LabCorp email instructed her to take a pre-employment drug test even though she had not confirmed she wished to proceed.
- Portal timestamps cited in coverage indicated a Sept. 30 final offer and Oct. 6 completions of checks, which she disputes having authorized or completed.
- ICE and the Department of Homeland Security did not respond to media requests for comment on the account reported Tuesday.
- Jadeed’s experience is being discussed alongside a December investigation alleging lowered hiring standards and accelerated vetting for ICE recruits, a claim not publicly confirmed by ICE.
