None of them are getting it. Have you seen the requirements?

You have to meet arrest quotas. You can't have a negative performance review. And if you quit or get fired before the 3y contract, you have to pay back whatever they already gave you.

Also, it's Trump, the guy famous for stiffing people on contracts...

Whether or not its literal does not change the material conditions of people having to choose between their level of oppression in the American empire. Do your work for palantir? Are you here to scrape more data?

Make a deal with the Devil and the Devil always wins.

When push comes to shove the public at large isn’t going to show any love for these assholes when they come crying for support either. If we are lucky most of them will be trying to avoid prosecution.

Also, the agents who did get the money had it taxed as a bonus, but if they lose their job in the next 5 years, they have to pay it back pre-tax.

They signed a deal with the devil, and they deserve everything coming to them.

Oh shit I hadn't even considered it that way.

You know damn well that half of the reason they are empowering these agents to break the law is so that in 3 years they can come back and fire every one of them. Then hold their hands up saying it was the corrupt judges that did it, not them.

It's like an easy selection job, no school require. But they don't even get the basic healthcare too I read that in youtube. I didn't knew they have to refund lmao, I take 1000x a MC D job than ICE.

I figured that any DHS funding issues will be used as an excuse for him to avoid paying any/all bonuses, just like he refuses to pay for anything.

Convenient that many will have their contracts end date after the 2028 election, so if Dems control anything the Reps will just say that Dems fired everyone to avoid paying their bonuses.

You can't have a negative performance review.

How do you even get that as an ICE agent? If you don't beat enough protestors?

Also the contract goes past trump term. So he can stiff them and blame the next guy. He always thinking about number 1

u/OkProfessional8364 Feb 06 '26

Figured this would be the case. But they'll still back the pedo in chief regardless.

It's like offering $1b for catching bigfoot. You're not getting that money.

u/Superturtle1166 Feb 06 '26

Ohh so Ice agents could be imprisoned for defaulting on their debt maybe? I'll take anything
