Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced changes in the hiring process at ICE and removed age barriers on ICE recruitment.
Secretary Noem announced, “This is one of the things that I’m so excited about because we’ve seen our ICE officers be terrorized by activists, by violent people who want to do them harm. And they have continued to go out bravely and do their jobs and make sure that they’re upholding the rule of law.”
“Our recruitment efforts to hire 10,000 new ICE officers has been extremely successful.”
“Laurence, as of today, we have over 80,000 applicants for those 10,000 positions already. People and patriots across this country that say, ‘We want to join. We want to help and be a part of this effort.’”
“It’s overwhelming to see the amount of response and support that our ICE officers have gotten and people who want to join their ranks.”
“I would tell everybody, go to Join.Ice.Gov and go there and sign up, be a part of this team that is helping Make America Safe Again with President Trump.”
“And the other thing, Laurence, I would say is we’ve removed any of the age barriers. We no longer have a cap on how old you can be or you can continue at age 18 and sign up for ICE and join us and be a part of it.”
“We’ll get you trained and ready to be equipped to go out on the streets and help protect families.”
Watch:
You spoke, we listened and we took action – the age cap for joining ICE has now been REMOVED.
