Staggering Number Of Americans Apply To Join ICE
The Daily Wire ^ | Oct 16, 2025 | Jennie Taer

Posted on 10/16/2025 2:32:19 PM PDT by Mr. Mojo

A whopping 175,000 Americans have applied to join Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin revealed the updated recruitment number on “The Alex Marlow Show” on Wednesday. The recruitment blitz comes as the Trump administration is offering up to $50,000 in sign-on bonuses to new recruits.

The agency has also solicited former agents to return to the force, and many have joined, retired agents who have jumped at the opportunity have told The Daily Wire.

“It really is encouraging to see that patriots see through the charade of the media, they want to enforce the rule of law, and they want to protect our homeland,” said McLaughlin.

“They saw how the last four years, this nation was brought to its knees with this scourge of illegal immigration and they want to protect their communities and where they come from. So, we’re encouraging more patriots, it’s a very rewarding job,” she added.

With the passage of President Donald Trump’s One Big, Beautiful Bill, DHS has received a flood of cash to hire 10,000 new ICE agents.

Talked with some one who’s niece is with ICE. One of the comments was new recruits were not getting the training they had received and were being thrown out there on the job.

Tempted myself.
As of August 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has removed all age limits for its law enforcement positions. The minimum age to apply is 18, and there is no maximum age for applicants.
They have some fitness tests, sit ups, pushups, running, but they shouldn’t be a problem for this fit. old boomer.
Don’t need the money, paid off my student loans, I really want to help out.

I just hope they are vetted well, because a lot of incompetent idiots have been hired a regular cops and we don’t need that kind in ICE.

“I wonder how many are Democrats seeking to subvert from within?”

More likely they are cops who take their oath seriously, but have to work for a DEI mayor. So why not go where they’re wanted?
