Dangling bonuses of up to $50,000, federal officials are launching a massive recruitment campaign to hire more than 14,000 immigration agents, attorneys and other workers to help execute President Donald Trump's border crackdown. The president is newly flush with billions in funding and wants to deport 1 million people a year with the help of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
"America needs you," reads one of the ICE recruiting ads, featuring a finger-pointing Uncle Sam, evoking World War I recruiting posters. "America has been invaded by criminals and predators. We need YOU to get them out."
