The Trump administration is intensifying efforts to expand the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) workforce as part of its broader immigration enforcement strategy. The Department of Homeland Security, under Secretary Kristi Noem, has removed the previous age restrictions that required new ICE hires to be between 21 and 40 years old, allowing individuals older than 40 to join the agency. Additionally, the administration is offering signing bonuses of up to $50,000 to attract new officers, waiving age limits, and employing patriotic recruitment messaging such as "United States needs you." The campaign aims to hire 10,000 new ICE agents to bolster deportation operations. The recruitment drive also includes incentives for teenagers, such as student loan forgiveness, to encourage enlistment. These measures reflect the administration's push to increase deportations and strengthen immigration enforcement capabilities.
