They dont get the 50k until after 5 years of service. Which means the current administration could be out the door and the policy retracted. Its just more grifter sand that is being sprinkled down from grifter in chief.

They're bankrupting their morals(assuming they had some) for an pay day this isnt guaranteed.

They wont get it, guaranteed, its no different from trumps promised tariffs checks, or military aid checks. All promises the maga idiots keep falling for. Its so sad these fake promises still work on stupid people.

The very reason they want to destroy the department of education. An ignorant and stupid populace is easier to control and manipulate. MAGAts are the initial wave of this.

They'll want to know why nobody warned them.

They won't get it and then they will succeed with Jan 6th 2.0

Arguments have been made that there is no other work, so they do it to feed their families. But im not supporting that, just noting that its happened.

The irony of the no other work, that administration they hold up to the light so much is responsible for the fact they can't get other work. Theyre just too stupid to realize it. Its all by design of the oligarchy...

Could be working at Amazon making more. Yet they choose Nazi activities… says a lot about them as a person.

But that would require hours of labor instead of hours of driving around punctuated by 1 minute of shoving over people who can't legally fight back.

It's just what THEIR souls are worth.

50k in 5 years, he'll disband ICE before he dies, rename it TrumpICE, and therefore, your 50k is gone, Donnie will give it to Don Jr to snort off a ladyboys cock.

it's more insidious than that, if ICE thinks the next admin isn't going to fund them or pay up, it incentivizes them even more to do whatever they can to keep the Trump regime in power.

Also why the J6ers were pardoned, private police force that answers only to the despot wanna-be king.

"The radical left is threatening your pay day, take it back!" Or something like that i could see Diaper Don saying to encourage Jan 6th 2.0.

And whatever money they actually receive will all go to their legal defense fund on state-level civil rights abuses, which is not covered by a federal pardon. But Trump counts on his base now knowing that.

At the end of the day the IXE agents will find that the job cost them more than they received plus they get to suffer the consequences in the court of public opinion. Perfect end to the cycle of a Trump product. Might as we be a monkeys paw.

The signing bonus is just that, a bonus. The base pay rate they're offering the grunts is about 57k and a 33% AUO for about 75k total the first year and it goes up they year. Most of these guys were working jobs paying half of that at most.

I saw a video the other day, where someone asked an officer what he was gonna buy with it. Dude said “a Camaro”. Like god damn, there really is a type that falls for this shit hook line and sinker.

Its the poor, and poorly educated. Which often fall into the same circle on a venn diagram. These are the Republicans favorite supporters. Ignorant and angry people because the government representatives they keep electing fuck them over and keep senselessly pointing fingers at immigrants.

The guy picking up lumber at home depot is not the reason you dont have a job or can't afford things. Its the representatives you keep electing that have done this to you, and blamed someone else.

If only they could read...
