WASHINGTON – The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today launched a new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) campaign to recruit brave and heroic Americans to join ICE as federal law enforcement agents and remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from America’s streets.
“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,” said Secretary Kristi Noem. “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.”
To support this effort, ICE is offering a robust package of federal law enforcement incentives, including:
A maximum $50,000 signing bonus
Student loan repayment and forgiveness options
25% Law Enforcement Availability Pay (LEAP) for HSI Special Agents
Administratively Uncontrollable Overtime (AUI) for Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) Deportation Officers
Enhanced retirement benefits
Backed by significant new funding through the recently signed One Big Beautiful Bill, ICE is rolling out patriotic recruitment posters and benefits to attract the next generation of law enforcement professionals to find, arrest, and remove criminal illegal aliens…

If I were 30 years younger I’d jump at this.

Ditto ! (40 years younger for me)
Wonder what the age requirements are?
To become an ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agent, candidates generally need to be U.S. citizens, under 37 years old (with potential waivers for veterans), possess a valid driver’s license, and be eligible to carry a firearm. A bachelor’s degree is typically required, and passing a background check, drug test, and medical exam are also necessary. Additional requirements may include specific skills in areas like finance, cyber/IT, or intelligence, especially for specialized roles according to ICE.
Fantastic! ICE, please come to Allentown PA. This city is infested with illegal alien democrats. Need to hose the place down with a water cannon.
Me, 40 years younger. 😂👍
Just thought I’d throw this out but a guy I know just got hired by the Secret Service. He will be a support person because he was months too old to be an agent. The crazy part? He’s a white male!
“To become an ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agent, candidates generally need to be U.S. citizens, under 37 years old (with potential waivers for veterans), possess a valid driver’s license, and be eligible to carry a firearm. “
I identify as a 37 year old, have a valid drivers license, I am a veteran and licensed to posses a firearm.
Allentown was a different story. Very few people there were interested in the illegals in their midst.
WOW!
That 37 year old age threshold is BS. Some of those 37 year olds can’t even behind over to tie a shoe. It is to keep you from getting a government pension late in life. I dare say at my age 60+ I am in better shape that some of those accepted.
Hmmmmmm! At 78 I might be as well. But got music gigs to keep me busy. Maybe too busy. We do play La Bamba from time to time so maybe a few ICE agents should stop by. 😂👍
Like so many here, I wish I was 25 years old right now.
Just the “worst”? Sounds like more RINO amnesty to me.
I don’t like this at all.
THERE SHOULD BE NO REQUIREMENT FOR A BACHELOR’S DEGREE.
LOTS OF FINE AMERICAN KIDS WOULD MAKE GREAT ICE AGENTS.
I agree - have grand kids coming of age that would be interested
Darn. Missed it by 30 short years
