ICE Agents Whine That They Aren't Getting Their Massive Bonuses

[EarthFirst]

New hires at Immigration and Customs Enforcement are complaining that they haven’t yet received the massive bonuses promised to them for agreeing to brutally arrest immigrants.

In multiple Reddit posts reviewed by the International Business Times UK, federal immigration agents complained that they’d yet to see their signing bonuses materialize. Others complained that when their bonus arrived, it was only a few thousand dollars after taxes. One person claimed that they were unable to cover medical costs for their sick child due to an insurance coverage gap.

Following a massive recruitment push, the Department of Homeland Security has boasted an incoming class of 12,000 new ICE agents, putting a clear strain on the agency, which received more than 220,000 applications. One administration official previously said DHS’s hiring influx had caused a “shit show” at ICE.

Meanwhile, morale among ICE agents is already plummeting after federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse attending a protest in Minnesota. In addition to being roundly hated by the public they spend their work days terrorizing, ICE agents are also complaining of long working hours and high arrest quotas.

The only moral solution to this is to resign immediately…

Stiffs everyone?

5. Lewis Black did a great rant on this -- reading a letter from someone ? Def worth a watch.

2. These agents of the fascist government of Donald Trump.

who has stiffed contractors in the past, never paid a bill if he thought he could get away with it, and has bankrupted countless businesses, are sore that Trump isn’t paying up.

The stupidity is dizzying…

3. Don't they have to be on the job for 5 years before getting the bonus? That's what their master said.

6. I think they were supposed to get it up front, but then they'd have to pay it all back if they didn't last 5 years

But I'm not 100% on that.

I also think that its probably contingent on them meeting quotas for kidnappings and stuff like that too. I saw somewhere that they want every ice agent to make 8 arrests per day.

4. Too bad so sad

We really don't care, do you?

7. Maybe their bonuses will come with their Trump phones.
