ICE has been a major player in President Trump’s immigration goals. Their successes can’t be ignored.
But Trump has received jaw-dropping news about ICE that left him speechless.
In a stunning show of national pride, over 150,000 red-blooded citizens have stepped up to join Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ready to hit the streets and haul away the dangerous illegal aliens plaguing U.S. communities. This massive wave of interest highlights the unbreakable spirit of everyday folks who refuse to let foreign criminals overrun the homeland.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem dropped the bombshell on Tuesday, praising these volunteers as true defenders of America. “ICE has received more than 150,000 applications from patriotic Americans who want to defend the homeland by removing the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from the U.S.,” Noem stated.
She didn’t stop there, revealing that the agency is already moving fast to bring these heroes on board. “We have already issued more than 18,000 tentative job offers,” Noem said. “Americans are answering their country’s call to serve and help remove m*rderers, p*dophiles, r*pists, terrorists, and gang members from our country.”
This outpouring of support comes right on the heels of chaotic anti-ICE riots that erupted across the country this summer, fueled by left-wing agitators furious over President Trump’s aggressive push to deport lawbreakers and lock up migrant thugs.
Those violent outbursts only fueled the fire for real Americans, who see ICE as the frontline warriors in restoring law and order. The agency’s hiring blitz kicked off in late July, turbocharged by Trump’s landmark Big Beautiful Bill that pumped in a whopping $75 billion to supercharge deportation operations.
Out of that massive funding boost, $30 billion is earmarked specifically for rounding up and shipping out illegals, while another $45 billion goes toward building more detention facilities to hold these menaces until they’re gone for good.
According to the New York Post, to sweeten the deal and attract top talent, ICE is rolling out fat paychecks, with some elite recruits landing six-figure salaries that make government service feel like a jackpot for patriots.
On top of that, the perks include signing bonuses as high as $50,000, full student loan forgiveness, beefed-up retirement packages, and extra overtime pay for those in the Enforcement Removal Operations unit who chase down deportees day and night.
A smart move in this recruitment drive targets battle-hardened veterans of federal law enforcement, many of whom walked away in disgust during the Biden years when weakness ruled the day.
Back in July, ICE blasted out an “urgent call” to these ex-officers through a campaign called “Operation Return to Mission,” urging them to rejoin the fight and finish what they started.
Last month, Noem made another game-changing announcement, scrapping the outdated age limits that once blocked anyone over 37 or 40 from certain roles, opening the doors wide for seasoned pros to suit up again.
Meanwhile, ICE agents are already pounding the pavement in key hotspots, launching sweeping raids in places like Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., to fulfill Trump’s iron-fisted orders on smashing illegal immigration rings.
The Department of Homeland Security just unleashed Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago, zeroing in on criminal migrants who swarmed the city thanks to soft-on-crime Democrats.
DHS blasted the move as a direct hit on illegals who “flocked” to the Windy City and state of Illinois “because they knew [Democratic] Governor [JB] Pritzker and his sanctuary policies would protect them and allow them to roam free on American streets.”
This ICE surge fits perfectly into President Trump’s all-out war on crime, where he’s deployed federal might to crush urban chaos in Democrat-run disasters like D.C., slashing violent offenses by double digits in just weeks. His executive orders have flooded the streets with extra agents, proving that tough leadership delivers real results.
Beyond immigration, Trump’s team has formed federal task forces in cities like Memphis to dismantle gangs and drug networks, sending a clear message that lawlessness won’t stand under his watch.
Crime stats tell the story: car thefts plummeted 36 percent, robberies cratered 62 percent, and overall violence nosedived 49 percent in targeted zones, thanks to his no-nonsense approach.
