The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched a new ICE recruitment campaign for “brave and heroic Americans.”
“Your country is calling you to serve at ICE. In the wake of the Biden administration’s failed immigration policies, your country needs dedicated men and women of ICE to get the worst of the worst criminals out of our country,” Secretary Kristi Noem said of the initiative. “This is a defining moment in our nation’s history. Your skills, your experience, and your courage have never been more essential. Together, we must defend the homeland.”
ICE is offering new recruits a maximum $50,000 signing bonus, student loan repayment and forgiveness options, 25% Law Enforcement Availability Pay (LEAP) for HSI Special Agents, retirement benefits, and an Administratively Uncontrollable Overtime (AUI) for Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) Deportation Officers, DHS explained.
“Recruitment materials will be distributed across major cities nationwide, college campuses, job fairs, and law enforcement networks beginning this week,” DHS added. “ICE encourages Americans with a commitment to public safety, national service, and upholding the rule of law to apply today to jumpstart a fulfilling career in federal law enforcement.”
President Donald Trump issued a comment in support of the campaign, writing, “Our Brave ICE Law Enforcement Agents are getting the WORST of the WORST Criminals out of our Country — Terrorists, pedophiles, MS-13 gang members, murderers, rapists, drug and human traffickers.”
“They’re getting these SLEAZEBAGS, the SCUM of the Earth that Crooked Joe Biden let in, OUT OF HERE, and getting them out, FAST,” Trump continued. “We need MORE courageous men and women to, MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN. Join ICE now. We will take GREAT care of you, just like you take care of us!”
