"The disastrous second year of Tr*mp's disastrous second term began with an unholy tide of ICE agents terrorizing the streets of Minneapolis, thanks to aggressive recruitment campaigns that promised loan forgiveness, huge bonuses, and steady paychecks. But surprise! According to more than a few disgruntled New Reich employees, that ain't happening. What a shock! Last week, NowThis Impact reported that a wave of ICE agents are realizing their mistake in record time."
"First, the terms of the deal seem to have been kept vague by an administration that has everything to gain by not spelling out the fine print. ICE agents are only supposed to get that bonus for a commitment of five years of dedicated terrorism-presumably to stop people from taking the job, getting that bonus check, and immediately dipping. But as others have explained, since the bonus is meant to be spaced out in installments of 10K per each year,"
Aggressive ICE recruitment campaigns promised loan forgiveness, large sign-on bonuses, and steady paychecks to new hires. Recruits seeking the advertised $50,000 payout are encountering smaller net payments because bonuses are paid as annual installments. Bonuses added to regular paychecks trigger substantial tax withholding, often reducing a reported $10,000 installment to roughly $6,000 or less after taxes. The bonus requires a five-year service commitment, which may outlast the current presidential term and risks leaving employees bound if promises are not honored. Many recruits report disillusionment as actual compensation and conditions differ from recruitment claims.
