Former Immigration and Customer Enforcement (ICE) agents are being offered a significant incentive to come back to work.
Many agents who left the agency after becoming demoralized during the Biden years could now earn themselves $50,000 if they return to their former roles.
In an email obtained by The New York Post dubbed Operation Return to Service, agency officials urged their former employees to come back and thanked them for their previous service.
“Due to the prior administration’s disastrous immigration policies, the men and women of ICE now face unprecedented challenges,” the email reads.
“Your experience and unwavering commitment are critically needed to secure our communities and uphold our laws.”
“You served the United States of America with distinction and honor,” it continues. “Now, your country calls upon you to serve once more.”
”By returning to ICE, you are providing an honorable, indispensable service to our nation.”
The agency is offering a $10,000 signing bonus to former agents who return to service, along with an additional $10,000 for those who apply by August 1.
Those who sign contracts and return to work are also eligible for annual bonuses of $10,000 for up to three years.
The ICE website has since confirmed the existence of this operation.
The website states:
The Trump Administration is fully committed to supporting the dedicated law enforcement professionals who secure our borders, shield our communities, and protect our national security and public safety.
This is a pivotal moment in our country’s history, and your experience and expertise are vitally needed.
ICE confirmed that the recent passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” has enabled the agency to “significantly” expand its workforce, beginning with the return of former personnel.
The sweeping legislation allocated an additional $75 billion to ICE to support Trump’s intensified immigration enforcement agenda.
Meanwhile, a further $30 billion was earmarked for arrest and deportation operations, and $45 billion designated for expanding detention infrastructure.
Agents will be tasked with helping carry out Trump’s policy of mass deportations of illegal immigrants.
While the number of illegal immigrants living in the U.S. is a disputed figure, at least 10 million entered the country at the invitation of the Biden regime.
Despite their efforts to increase deportations, ICE have struggled to significantly ramp up their operations due to a lack of manpower and determination of Democratic lawmakers to keep them in the country.
