This is amazing.
Since the passage of President Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’ which gave ICE a giant boost in funding for mass deportations, recruitment has been surging wildly.
Speaking to Fox News today, Acting Director Todd Lyons revealed the numbers.
He says that ICE recruitment has been flooded by nearly 78,000 new applicants wanting to join the force to help deport illegal criminals!

The big increase in ICE applications comes about a week after the DHS launched their ‘Defend the Homeland’ recruitment campaign.
It offers a very enticing package for patriots who want to contribute to the great work ICE is doing to protect our borders.
A press release from the DHS provided more details:
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today launched a new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) campaign to recruit brave and heroic Americans to join ICE as federal law enforcement agents and remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from America’s streets.
“Your country is calling you to serve at ICE. In the wake of the Biden administration’s failed immigration policies, your country needs dedicated men and women of ICE to get the worst of the worst criminals out of our country,” said Secretary Kristi Noem. “This is a defining moment in our nation’s history. Your skills, your experience, and your courage have never been more essential. Together, we must defend the homeland.”
To support this effort, ICE is offering a robust package of federal law enforcement incentives, including:
- A maximum $50,000 signing bonus
- Student loan repayment and forgiveness options
- 25% Law Enforcement Availability Pay (LEAP) for HSI Special Agents
- Administratively Uncontrollable Overtime (AUI) for Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) Deportation Officers
- Enhanced retirement benefits
Backed by significant new funding through the recently signed One Big Beautiful Bill, ICE is rolling out patriotic recruitment posters and benefits to attract the next generation of law enforcement professionals to find, arrest, and remove criminal illegal aliens.
ICE is planning to hire 10,000 new agents through this initiative.
And, it looks like they have a great pool to select from, with tens of thousands of patriots lining up.
Vet them, hire the best and brightest, and let’s finish the job!
