Trump admin unleashes crucial recruitment campaign with massive bonuses to bolster ICE ranks
EXCLUSIVE: The Department of Homeland Security is launching a major recruitment campaign as the agency seeks to grow amid mass deportation efforts and new funding from the Trump-backed congressional spending bill. The funding in the spending bill, dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill," provides funding to hire 10,000 new ICE agents. DHS is launching the "Defend the Homeland" campaign featuring posters depicting prominent figures, including President Donald Trump, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. "The Biden Administration let in the WORST OF THE WORST from around the world. Thanks to President Trump, ICE is now empowered to go-after these heinous individuals—arrest them and deport them. My message to law enforcement is this: We will never abandon you and we are doing everything we can to keep you safe," Noem stated. In addition, the ICE "America Needs You" web page features imagery of Uncle Sam, and says, "Your country is calling upon you to serve." The website touts three key roles: deportation officer, criminal investigator and general attorney, but there are a variety of listings on the federal government's job site that it links back to. The agency is touting $50,000 signing bonuses, student loan relief, law enforcement availability pay of 25% for Homeland Security Investigations Special Agents, "administratively uncontrollable overtime" for ICE deportation officers, and retirement benefits. Applicants must be at least 21 years old, with varying age maximums for certain positions. "Your country is calling on you to serve at ICE and defend the Homeland," Lyons said in a statement. "In the wake of the Biden administration's open border policies, the dedicated men and women of ICE now face unprecedented challenges in removing millions of criminal illegal aliens from our country. Thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill, we now have funding to recruit and hire Americans who want to patriotically serve their country and protect American communities." "Under President Trump and Secretary Noem's leadership, ICE is finally empowered to do their jobs again. Join ICE today and help us defend the Homeland," he continued. The recruitment effort comes as the agency continues to amp up operations to counter illegal immigration, including deporting those with criminal convictions and charges on top of entering the country illegally. According to DHS, there's been an 830% increase in assaults on agents amid riots and protests throughout the country, including last month in the Los Angeles area. On the recruitment web page, the agency has "How dangerous is the work?" listed as a frequently asked question. "ICE law enforcement officers should expect a certain level of risk when performing their duties; however, they are expertly trained and every precaution is taken by ICE when it comes to protecting its officers' well-being," the website states.

In Puerto Rico, Immigrants Are Being Tracked, Detained & Deported — But Communities Are Fighting Back
Dominican-born Aracelys Terrero Mota went to register her small business in the municipal office of Cabo Rojo in Puerto Rico on June 5. She gave her passport, visa, and migration and work permits — all updated and in good order. As a domestic violence survivor, she is legally protected under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) to work and live on the archipelago, the place she's called home for 21 years. But when she left the office, she was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers. According to the executive director of the local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Annette Martinez-Orabona, Terrero disappeared from the system and was held in various detention centers in Florida, Texas, and New Mexico. After protests and demands from human rights organizations and activists, she was returned to Puerto Rico on June 28. 'My soul cried, and even my heart ached. … It was like a horrible nightmare,' Terrero told Telemundo Puerto Rico in Spanish. Terrero's immigration case — drawing outcry and attention from thousands of Puerto Ricans and fellow migrants across the archipelago via social media and the press — has become the most visible in Puerto Rico, but her experience isn't a solitary one. As the Trump administration intensifies its crackdown on immigrants through controversial Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, arrests, and deportations, agents in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, have followed suit — disproportionately impacting Dominican migrants on the island. In fact, as of June 2025, 500 people have been detained in Puerto Rico, and nearly three-quarters of those arrested are from the Dominican Republic. 'We are currently being persecuted, rounded up, deported, and there have even been deaths,' José Rodríguez, president of the Dominican Human Rights Committee of Puerto Rico, told Somos. The committee was born during the late 1980s and early '90s, when there was an uptick of Dominicans leaving their island to find better employment opportunities in Puerto Rico. In 1997, Dominican migrant Rafael Herrera was beaten to death by a Puerto Rican police officer during a drug bust. In 2009, police struck and handcuffed undocumented Dominican immigrant Franklin Cáceres Osorio before throwing him from a two-story building and leaving him to die. Most recently, on March 28, Dominican worker Antonio Báez climbed onto the roof of the warehouse where he was employed — about 30 to 35 feet high — to avoid arrest during an ICE inspection. While attempting to hide, he fell and died. Dominicans make up one of the largest immigrant populations in Puerto Rico. But despite having lived on the sister island for generations and contributing significantly to its social and economic fabric, the community has increasingly been targeted by state-sanctioned xenophobia and anti-Blackness — sentiments that have been emboldened under President Donald Trump and Puerto Rican Governor Jenniffer González's anti-immigration rhetoric and policy. ' "There are people hiding out of fear." ' For instance, in 2013, then-governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla, a Democrat from the pro-commonwealth status party in Puerto Rico, approved Law 97, which allowed for people without official immigration status to obtain a driver's license. 'That's one of the achievements we've had, and close to 20,000 people have that license — before New York and a lot of other states,' Rodríguez said. However, in the last year, González, a Republican and Trump ally from the island's pro-statehood party, and her government has used it to betray the entire undocumented population in Puerto Rico. In June, both the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTOP) and ICE confirmed private data had been shared between the two agencies for several months. ICE subpoenaed the Puerto Rican government for the information, and it quietly did as it was told, without public hearing or warning beforehand. ICE proceeded to use the data to detain people in their homes. Now in Barrio Obrero, a San Juan neighborhood known for its Dominican population, people are afraid — to stay inside or leave their homes. 'There are many people who live in fear. There are many people who do not want to leave their homes, who find it difficult to get to work,' a pro-immigrant organizer in Puerto Rico, who preferred to stay anonymous, told Somos. 'It's dangerous. People are coming here as if it's the Nazi times. There are people hiding out of fear.' This fear is deliberate and strategic. González and her pro-statehood party have aligned themselves closely with Trump and his hardline immigration policies, pressuring local institutions to follow suit or face consequences. In January, González warned that public workers and Puerto Rican agencies refusing to cooperate with ICE or attempting to block raids could jeopardize federal funding. But that claim doesn't hold up. Sanctuary cities and counties across the U.S. have successfully challenged similar threats in court, affirming that federal funds cannot be withheld on that basis. If Puerto Rico's government chose to, it could adopt sanctuary policies just as states like California and New York have. For now, however, only two municipalities — Aguadilla and Hormigueros — have declared themselves sanctuaries. ' "We know and we recognize that anti-Black racism is what it perpetuates." Gloriann Sacha Antonetty Lebrón ' As González's government preys on immigrant communities, it also proposed an extension to the controversial Act 60, which allows 'investors' — often white, wealthy, and American — to come to Puerto Rico and take advantage of tax incentives, until 2055. This extension was approved on June 25, just days before Terrero returned to Puerto Rico after being illegally detained. Even more, like in the U.S., where Puerto Ricans, who are born U.S. citizens, have been detained during immigration raids, Afro-Boricuas in their homeland have also been targeted and racially profiled by ICE agents. 'We know and we recognize that anti-Black racism is what it perpetuates,' Gloriann Sacha Antonetty Lebrón, founder of the popular Black Puerto Rican magazine Revista Étnica, told Somos. 'This is not the first time this has happened. This is a pattern that keeps repeating itself to benefit a few, to generate power for a few. [They want to] take away what belongs to us and what is ours. [To] tell our people, our neighbors, to the caribeños, any other person who wants to come here to live and have opportunities for a dignified life, that they can't be here." While much of the government is actively participating in its own colonialism, many Puerto Ricans have been pushing back, speaking out, and protesting against escalating raids and deportations, which is also impacting Haitian and South American migrants. ' "What the Puerto Rican government hasn't done for the community, the Puerto Rican people are doing." José Rodríguez ' 'In many ways, Puerto Rico is a safe haven in the Caribe,' Antonetty Lebrón said. Her publication has been attempting to keep it that way, directly supporting immigrant communities through reporting immigration news, sharing educational tools, and leading mutual aid efforts. Like them, other grassroots community organizations like Taller Salud, Centro de Apoyo Mutuo, Brigada Solidaria del Oeste, Enlace Volunteering Group, and more have been expanding their focus to support immigrants. On social media, even Bad Bunny has spoken out about the raids, recording and posting an Instagram Story showing ICE agents in unmarked RAV4s on Avenida Pontezuela in Carolina. 'Instead of leaving the people alone and working," he's heard criticizing the agents. 'What the Puerto Rican government hasn't done for the community, the Puerto Rican people are doing,' Rodríguez said. 'I go out running in the morning, and sometimes I have to stop to talk to people in their cars, or they honk and yell, 'we are with you.' That has never been seen before.'
