Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) saw a 120 percent jump in its workforce following an “unprecedented” nationwide recruitment campaign that “shattered expectations” after 12,000 employees and officers were hired in a few months, the agency said in a statement on Jan. 3.
“After receiving more than 220,000 applications from patriotic Americans to join ICE, the agency blew past its original hiring target of 10,000 new officers and agents within a year,” ICE stated.
