US EditionInside the Facility Where ICE Is Training Recruits to Take on Trump's Deportation Goals
ICE is hiring thousands of new deportation officers and attorneys, with 121,000 applications received, to enforce President Trump's deportation agenda using expanded training and $76.5 billion funding.
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement is launching a hiring event Tuesday, August 26 and Wednesday, August 27 at Arlington Esports Stadium to recruit deportation officers and attorneys, backed by nearly $30 billion for new staff from Congress.
- ICE has expanded eligibility and incentives, removing age limits and offering bonuses up to $50,000 and $60,000 in student loan repayment, receiving 121,000 applications since mid-July, many from former officers.
- At the Georgia training center, recruits complete an intensive eight-week course covering immigration law, firearms with supervised practice by roughly 20 recruits, driving skills, 12 hours on the Fourth Amendment, de-escalation, and an obstacle-course time standard.
- With confrontations rising, officials say ICE will deploy security teams and equip agents with helmets and gas masks, though critics warn the surge could pressure vetting or training standards.
- As enforcement ramps up, violent episodes have increased, and removing 7,182 people and businesses could cost Elk Grove about $150.7 million annually and reduce city sales-tax receipts by roughly $2.1 million.
