US EditionICE ad blitz aims to lure local law enforcement officers to join Trump mass deportation efforts
ICE aims to hire 10,000 deportation officers by year-end, spending $5.7 million on ads offering up to $50,000 bonuses to local law enforcement, officials said.
- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is spending millions on television advertising to recruit local officers into President Donald Trump's mass deportation efforts, launching 30-second spots in mid-September in Albuquerque, Boston, Chicago, Denver, New York, Philadelphia, Sacramento, Seattle, and Washington, D.C.
- The campaign is part of ICE's $30 billion initiative to hire 10,000 more deportation officers by the end of the year, linked to a $76.5 billion request from Trump's Republican administration.
- As of Friday, total spending on the ads had topped 5.7 million, with $853,745 spent in the Seattle area since mid-September and $794,084 in Atlanta last week, while Department of Homeland Security officials declined to explain target choices.
- Local police leaders warned they can't compete with a $50,000 signing bonus as ICE offers bonuses of up to $50,000 and tuition reimbursement to fast-track hiring.
- And while some parts of the federal government are shut down as the result of Congress' failure to pass a spending measure last week, the ICE ads show the deportation push remains flush with cash amid criticism from the Trump administration of Boston and Chicago.
