    Some people will do anything for money, or maybe they are just in dire situations. Anyway $50k to join ICE might tempt some people.

    Well.

    * It's not 50k it's 10k per year for five years. Big difference.
    * It is a five year *commitment* bonus. You need to work the full five years OR you must pay it back.
    * So if your work for 3 years then quit you owe them 30k! (money you may need for a lawyer)
    * The first 10k will be about $6500 after taxes.

    Just so everyone knows.

    The irony of getting $6500, and then having to pay back $10k leaving someone with a growing debt of $3500 per year, plus other debts not declared (apparently travel tdy? as someone pointed out), plus a lifetime of civil legal liability, just to quit an awful job.

      @futurebird seeing this after my comment here https://bsky.app/profi... i'm half wondering if maybe this actually is the next phase of the plan, to get ICE agents to loot and pillage the cities they're deployed to for sustenance in order to cause maximum damage

        They knew that they were going to have extreme drop off after people saw what they were going to do with them and built in a brutal debt-slavery scheme to make sure their capture of the person was whole and without escape.

        It's absolutely quintessentially neoliberal.

        IF decent people incl any rich people (lol lmao) the rich person would publicly offer to pay any ICE chud's debt +$10k *if* they go public with what they know.

          Sadly for them, Trump's new ICE goon hires haven't learned that with Trump, the overt steal or small print takes back more than Trump pretended to give.

            the average ICE chud knows the same as any other average one

            They’re disposable fascist foot soldiers.

              @vivtek @futurebird do you have a source on that? I tried searching and only found folks claiming it without a source.

                  @ryanprior @futurebird It is incredible how - despite my ongoing efforts - I remain gullible to unsourced misinformation (probably) from friends that agrees with my bias.

                    @ryanprior @futurebird According to what I'm finding, DHS denies any repayment requirement even of the signing bonus (although the bonus is in many cases staggered, not all at once). They also deny a lot of other things, so I take that to be a lie, but their contracts are not public.

                          To my mind the important thing about this is that no matter how you get in they have created a system that’s really hard to get out of. This is what the mob, or street gangs, or company towns do: make entry easy and attractive, then establish an exit tax that’s just enough to keep people in…

                            @futurebird I sure a lot of poor white passing people that will consider this deal. They see a paycheck and they are $6500 away from being homeless.
