“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

Report: New ICE Recruitment Plan Targets Firearm Fanciers, Gun-Rights Advocates

by Doris Wise Montrose on January 13, 2026

There’s an interesting report out about ICE changing how it recruits. Instead of the usual corporate-style hiring ads, they’re spending around $100 million on a campaign designed to reach gun owners, veterans, and people who see themselves as patriots.

If you’re a lover of all things firearms related—and face it, who among the TTAG faithful isn’t—you might just be getting a recruitment advertisement over social media soon. And don’t be surprised if it comes by way of the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

According to a not-so-flattering Washington Post report, ICE is planning to spend $100 million over the next year to recruit “gun rights supporters and military enthusiasts” through online influencers and geo-targeted advertising campaigns.

“The spending would help President Donald Trump’s mass-deportation agenda dominate media networks and recruitment channels, including through ads targeting people who have attended UFC fights, listened to patriotic podcasts, or shown an interest in guns and tactical gear,” the Post reported, citing an internal ICE document.

In passing President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill last July, Congress tripled ICE’s enforcement and deportation budget to about $30 billion, prompting a hiring spree that officials say is necessary to carry out the Trump administration’s promise of the biggest mass deportation in American history. According to the Post, administration officials set a goal of 1 million deportations within the first year of Trump’s term.

SUPPORT THE WORK OF JEWS CAN SHOOT

Antisemitism is increasing. So are efforts to restrict fundamental rights. Are you paying attention to how—and why?

Antisemitic incidents are rising across political and ideological lines. The resulting violence is no longer sporadic or abstract; it is a recurring reality confronting Jewish communities with growing frequency.

At the same time, attempts to limit the right to keep and bear arms continue unabated. These efforts are not confined to moments of crisis or tied to any single administration. They represent a long-term, coordinated push that advances regardless of who holds power.

Jews Can Shoot operates where these two trends intersect.

I document and analyze antisemitism and gun control together, over time and in context. Too often, these issues are reported in isolation—treated as disconnected events rather than parts of a broader pattern. Our work focuses on continuity, not headlines.

History is instructive. Measures first justified as “necessary” for Jews have a way of becoming precedents applied far more broadly. Cultural narratives, legal arguments, and policy frameworks rarely stop with their initial targets.

The weekly newsletter provides readers with accurate, well-sourced information to help identify these patterns as they emerge—not after they are entrenched.

This work requires consistent research, monitoring, and editorial effort.

If you value informed vigilance over complacency, I ask for your support.

A one-time or monthly contribution helps ensure that this radar stays on—and independent.

Don’t be a spectator to your own disarmament.
