Former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), who was recently expelled from Congress, made a pitch on Tuesday to serve as former President Trump’s director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if Trump wins his bid to return to the White House in 2024.
“My new year resolution is that President Trump returns to the white house and in 2025 I can be appointed Director of ICE,” Santos wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Enough abuse and disregard for our sovereignty, we are the United States OF America and not a global dumping hub. ICE has had their hands tied for far too long with the sole exception of the great four years of DJT,” Santos wrote, referring to Trump by his initials.
Trump wouldn't want someone who is more of a grifter than himself. Santos is the Platonic Ideal of Grift: so incredibly tactless and immoral that it's hard to believe he's lying as much as he is.
If this follows the GOP pattern of projection, it will come to light in the future that Santos himself is not an American citizen having traveled here from another country and entered undocumented.
You jest, but we don't actually know if he's a citizen at all.
He has claimed at various times to have been born in the US and in Brazil. He's lived in both locations, and is wanted for questioning for crimes in Brazil.
“My new year resolution is that President Trump returns to the white house and in 2025 I can be appointed Director of ICE,” Santos wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Santos interacted with the media frequently during his time in the House as he faced numerous political scandals that ultimately led to his ouster last month in a 311-114-2 vote.
Santos faces 23 federal criminal charges related to allegations that he misled donors, fraudulently received unemployment benefits, lied on House financial disclosures, inflated his campaign finance reports and charged his donors’ credit cards without authorization.
The House Ethics Committee also released a scathing report finding there is clear evidence Santos committed serious crimes, which helped compel some holdouts to vote for the embattled lawmaker’s ouster after two attempts to expel him failed.
In the post on X, however, Santos said he knew “exactly” what was needed to lead ICE properly and made an informal public bid for the hypothetical position.

Fucking Santos is reminding me more and more of Kissinger (both being kiss-asses to get power when they have no fucking clue about anything). I guess next Santos will say "We should nuke Europe".
