The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has announced the removal of age limits for new hires at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Previously, applicants had to be between 21 and 40 years old. This change is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to increase recruitment at ICE, which includes offering signing bonuses of up to $50,000. The administration is also using wartime-style rhetoric to attract new officers. Additionally, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has altered requirements to allow younger individuals, including teenagers, to join ICE. Meanwhile, a separate report noted that civil servants received taxpayer-funded free ice cream without a clear justification.
