ICE is significantly increasing its recruitment efforts, aiming to hire 10,000 new agents as part of a broader immigration crackdown under the Trump administration. Recent job fairs in Arlington and Texas attracted hundreds of applicants, some of whom are unexpected candidates, while also drawing protests from various advocacy groups. As the agency adjusts training programs, reports indicate a reduction in training days and new measures to align with administration goals. Controversially, the hiring process has opened up to individuals as young as 18, in response to boosted funding from Congress. Despite the protests, the demand for ICE positions appears strong, with expectations to hire over 1,000 applicants from a recent event in North Texas.
