Trump Offers $50,000 Bonuses to Hire Thousands for ICE Push

The Trump administration is ramping up a massive hiring spree at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, offering up to $50,000 signing bonuses, waiving age limits and invoking wartime-style imagery in a bid to lure thousands of new officers.

The campaign is part of a broader White House effort to dramatically scale up deportations, backed by a $150 billion border-security package signed into law last month by President Donald Trump, including $30 billion for ICE. More than 80,000 people have applied to join the agency since the recruitment drive began last week, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
