The Department of Homeland Security is scrapping age limits for new Immigration and Customs Enforcement recruits as it ramps up hiring with a major funding boost from Congress.
Previously, applicants had to be at least 21 and no older than 37 or 40, depending on the role within the agency tasked with locating, arresting and detaining noncitizens lacking legal status. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox & Friends that applicants as young as 18 could now be “trained and ready.”
There’s a giant asterisk on their website where it says the “up to 50k in bonuses” but it doesn’t actually have anywhere that explains what the asterisk actually means (like the terms of the benefit and bonus eligibility).
That asterisk definitely should just read: “you’re definitely not getting 50k, this is a blatant lie and you’re gonna get fucked like the rest of Donnie’s little helpers”
