U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is eliminating the age cap on new hires<\/a>, allowing people older than 40 to join its deportation force<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are ENDING the age cap for ICE law enforcement,\u201d Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote in a post on the social platform X<\/a>. \u201cQualified candidates can now apply with no age limit.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shift also eliminates the age limit for those seeking to serve as investigators, which was previously capped at 37.<\/p>\n

A press release from the Department of Homeland Security touts the shift as being \u201cbacked by significant new funding through the recently signed One Big Beautiful Bill.\u201d<\/p>\n

The department on Wednesday also touted an up to $50,000 signing bonus and up to $60,000 in student loan repayment.<\/p>\n

The change prompted questions about whether the agency is having trouble attracting qualified candidates.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeportation officers and special agents must be in excellent physical condition, able to tolerate environmental stresses and have strong critical thinking skills,\u201d according to the ICE recruitment page.<\/p>\n

In an interview on Fox News on Wednesday, Noem said efforts to recruit 10,000 new ICE officers have been \u201cextremely successful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs of today, we have over 80,000 applicants for those 10,000 positions already,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
