The Department of Homeland Security announced the removal of age restrictions for new hires at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This change comes as part of an effort to ramp up recruitment, driven by a substantial budget increase approved by Congress.
The move aligns with the Trump administration's immigration enforcement agenda, allowing individuals as young as 18 to apply. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem highlighted this expansion in an appearance on 'Fox & Friends,' emphasizing a welcoming approach to potential recruits.
ICE's recruitment campaign offers incentives like a USD 50,000 bonus, student loan forgiveness, and abundant overtime to attract more candidates for positions such as deportation officers and investigators. The agency aims to bolster its workforce significantly to meet new goals.
