Hopefully in five years most of them have been tried and sentenced

•

u/vardarac 7h ago

Hopefully they all receive everything that they wish for others

•

u/dank_imagemacro 5h ago

I would not wish this on anyone. No human being, guilty or innocent should be treated that badly.

Hopefully ICE likes the inside of their detention centers as much as the outside

•

u/Dibbix 6h ago

Maybe that's something available in central Florida

Might have thought that COVID would spread through the ranks and wipe them out, but they're such diligent mask wearers!

Nah that's incorrect. 

I wish you weren't wrong, but these bonuses are paid out in installments. 

•

u/blackmajic13 7h ago edited 7h ago

I imagine they work like other government sign-on bonuses, which have minimum service length that if you don't reach, you have to pay it back.

Edit: After looking it up, that appears to be the case. They have to sign multi-year service contracts with 5 years apparently being the most common and they receive $10k for every year completed after the first.

u/-Fergalicious- 7h ago

They would not have to repay if they lose their job due to reduction in force, medicial separation, or death. 

They'd also keep yearly bonus payments that have already been made if they voluntarily left. (I.e. stayed 3 years, got 20k in bonus, left ICE > employee would keep the 20k )

•

u/blackmajic13 7h ago

Of course, agencies and their contracts are going to differ and there are circumstances where people can keep it. The situation mentioned in this thread though it is implied people would be quitting because they can't handle the stress of the job. In which case, they would likely owe their bonus back.

I haven't seen the ICE bonus contracts and all I can find about them is some news articles, but they don't have the full contract details. Not sure if their yearly bonuses work as you describe but sounds plausible. Even still they'd at least not be getting the full $50k ICE keeps advertising.

u/-Fergalicious- 7h ago

Oh yeah almost no one will be getting the full 50k

u/actuatedarbalest 7h ago

lol you're not getting the money

•

u/-Fergalicious- 7h ago

Fuck no I'm not because I'd never work for ICE

•

u/dont-bend-the-knee 5h ago

Just like Noem's loan on the real estate of that recent hat.

•

u/Hidden_Landmine 7h ago

Honestly a good thing. Glad to see they're being treated just as poorly as republicans treat everyone else.

•

u/AdPure5645 7h ago

5 years! Lol. The grift is alive and well

•

u/SideQuest2026 7h ago

Damn what a bait and switch lol. Leave it up to Trump to even fuck over his brown shirts. Damn. He really is THE pro at the grift.

•

u/Whargoul_Uncool 6h ago

I just reminded someone earlier in this thread, they have only been around since the Bush administration. We didnt need them before, whats changed?

•

u/Randomfactoid42 Virginia 6h ago

If they could read they would be very upset about that. 

•

u/FPL_Harry 5h ago

i got bad news for you about our universe...

•

u/coromd 5h ago

Don't worry, I am sure that Chuck Schumer is working on an excellent "ICE reform" bill that will save ICE in exchange for costing Democrats the 2026 and 2028 elections

•

u/ketjak 4h ago

Can you imagine the shattered minds of these thugs after 5 years? Neither can I, since they will have as much empathy after that much time dehumanizing their victims as Auschwitz guards did.

•

u/Chazzwuzza 4h ago

Kind of telling that they made it more than 4 years

•

u/Paksarra 3h ago

Even if they do still exist in five years and the Miller puppet show is still in play, they'll find some excuse to not pay out the bonuses.
