The Trump administration launched a new recruitment campaign calling on Americans to become Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in a bid to capitalize on the new wave of funding that the law enforcement agency is set to receive as a result of the Big, Beautiful Bill.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) law enforcement agency launched a new recruitment website calling on Americans to join ICE in one of three capacities: as a deportation officer, criminal investigator, or general attorney.
The campaign comes just after the passage of the Big, Beautiful Bill, which will grant a massive influx of cash to ICE, with just under $30 billion earmarked for hiring, training, and retaining agents.
“Your country is calling upon you to serve. Due to the prior administration’s disastrous immigration policies, the men and women of ICE now face unprecedented challenges,” the site says. “You are critically needed to secure our communities and uphold our laws.”
“The Trump Administration is fully committed to supporting the dedicated law enforcement professionals who secure our borders, shield our communities, and protect our national security and public safety,” the new website goes on to say. “This is a pivotal moment in our country’s history, and your experience and expertise are vitally needed.”
DHS unveiled graphics featuring President Donald Trump, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, acting Director of ICE Todd Lyons, and an ICE agent along with the text “defend the homeland” and “join ICE.”
Your country is calling you to serve at @ICEgov.
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.

The site also features a “frequently asked questions” portion, with answers to inquiries like “what characteristics is ICE looking for?” and “how dangerous is the work?”
Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin encouraged Americans to join ICE in a post on X.
“Terrorists. Pedophiles. MS-13 Gang members. Murderers. Rapists. Drug traffickers. Human traffickers. We need YOU to get them out,” McLaughlin wrote in a post that featured an image of Uncle Sam and the text “America Needs You.”
