Sec. Noem: We Have Removed Age Cap for ICE Recruits

Jones: “I want to talk about your push to get more ICE agents. We know that the number of assaults against these agents has increased by more than 800 percent. Some of my agents that I know tell me that the number could be higher than that, just based on some of the data that they’re looking at. But you want them to join. You want more enforcement. You’re going to give them a $50,000 signing bonus. There’s an opportunity to get up to $60,000 in student loan payment. This is not the government giving money away. This is a service to the country. And then up to a 25 percent premium pay. Is it working?”
NOEM: “Absolutely, Lawrence. This is one of the things that I’m so excited about, because we’ve seen our ICE officers be terrorized by activists, by violent people who want to do them harm. And they have continued to go out bravely and do their jobs, and make sure that they’re upholding the rule of law. And so, our recruitment efforts to hire 10,000 new ICE officers has been extremely successful, Lawrence. As of today, we have over 80,000 applicants for those 10,000 positions already. People and patriots across this country that say, we want to join, we want to help and be a part of this effort. It’s overwhelming to see the amount of response and support that our ICE officers have gotten, and people who want to join their ranks. So, I would tell everybody, go to join.ice.gov, and go there and sign up. Be a part of this team that is helping make America safe again with President Trump. And the other thing, Lawrence, I would say is, we’ve removed any of the age barriers. We no longer have a cap on how old you can be, or you can continue at age 18, sign up for ICE and join us and be a part of it. We’ll get you trained and ready to be equipped to go out on the streets and help protect families.”
