From The Hill: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is eliminating the age cap on new hires, allowing people older than 40 to join its deportation force.
The move will end the limitations on the physically demanding job at a time when the Trump administration is pressed for personnel to carry out its mass deportation agenda.
The department on Wednesday also touted an up to $50,000 signing bonus and up to $60,000 in student loan repayment.
“We are ENDING the age cap for ICE law enforcement,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote on X. “Qualified candidates can now apply with no age limit.”
The Department of Homeland Security says the change is “backed by significant new funding through the recently signed One Big Beautiful Bill.”
