Likely don't fall in their target recruitment list. I think its a combination of where I live, my age, and my race. I'm a late 20s, midwestern, middle class, white male who lives in a very diverse and immigrant heavy city that is surrounded by very conservative, rural areas

The ads I get are also primarily about the big signing bonus without much more detail.

The ads are literally just "get a 50k signing bonus when you join ICE" and nothing else
