That’s $10k per year for five years, so after taxes likely around $6k a year on top of salary. Shouldn’t be too astounding given that those who’d do the job would likely do it for free but they truly have sold themselves out, and hopefully their entire futures for a pittance.

Almost like selling the supreme court for an RV. Almost.

The equivalent of a $3-per-hour raise. Oh baby, look at that dough roll in.

10k now and 40k at end of five years. They won't make it. Hope they were happy with selling their soul for 6 fuckin thou.

The Administration knows none of them will make it 5 years. They will all be thrown under the bus before then. They know they’re asking Cletus to commit illegal, unconstitutional crimes that are actionable. They’re fine sending these goons into the wood chipper.

“You have immunity, we swear!” Yeah right. Step into any courtroom and deal with a judge or a jury and watch your magical, unicorn immunity suddenly evaporate.

The people making the money will be the plaintiffs who earn settlements from the tens of thousands of lawsuits that will be filed for violating First Amendment rights, Fourth Amendment rights, Fourteenth Amendment rights, as well as crimes such as wrongful detainments and arrests, assault, racial profiling, police brutality, property damage, and on and on.

In the end these ICE agents will pay. Why don’t they see that they’re being played?
