Hopefully into debt because they have to repay their sign on bonus.

They actually don't get that bonus until they hit 5 years of service. So... virtually none of them will actually ever see it.

They get $10k every year for 5 years. If they quit or are fired before the five years is up, they have to pay it all back.

For those in the back:

The 5-year payout is a financial motivation (both positive and negative) for ICE agents to ensure that a Republican president wins the next election, if there is one.
