Surge in ICE Job Applications as Department of Homeland Security Targets Veterans and Military Personnel

A recent career fair organized by the Department of Homeland Security has drawn significant interest, with over 140,000 individuals applying for positions within Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The event attracted a diverse crowd, including fired federal employees, Trump supporters, and veterans eager to join the agency amidst a controversial crackdown on immigration. Among the applicants was a Taco Bell manager, who shared their motivations for wanting to serve in ICE. Despite protests against the agency, officials report a surge in applications, particularly from military personnel and veterans, as they look to fill a critical hiring gap.
