ICE Expands Workforce With 10K Job Openings Nationwide
*The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is hiring thousands of new workers. This move is part of the Trump administration’s effort to strengthen immigration enforcement.
ICE plans to grow from 20,000 to 30,000 employees, with a goal of deporting 1 million people each year. Over 1,000 job offers have already been made since July 4, 2025.
Jobs Open to Black Americans and Other U.S. Citizens
There is no policy targeting Black Americans for ICE jobs, but the agency is open to diverse applicants. All U.S. citizens who meet the criteria can apply.
ICE says it values diversity in its workforce, encouraging people with law enforcement, military, or federal experience to join. Black veterans and former officers may find this appealing.

“I’m pretty sure the government is targeting the ignorant, low skilled and uneducated so im pretty sure you qualify for the modern day gestapo OP. Good luck! Crazy enough I recently saw an ICE van circling an apartment complex yesterday.”
“Any black person who falls for this is a fool! Release the Epstein files!”

What Makes These ICE Jobs Appealing to Some

- High salaries and sign-on bonuses

- Job security in a politically backed agency
- Opportunities to work in law enforcement and legal fields
Despite controversy, some see this as a rare opportunity for stable income in struggling communities.
