Police and military officers within the Department of Homeland Security are ramping up recruiting to implement President Donald Trump’s immigration priorities, and new legislation could provide more staffing.
Since President Donald Trump took office on Jan. 20, the Border Patrol, Secret Service, and Coast Guard agencies have been flooded with applications. In addition, the pending One Big Beautiful Bill Act would boost DHS funding to hire and train more Border Patrol agents, Air and Marine agents, and field support personnel.
DHS encompasses seven agencies, but the department has highlighted three that are seeing a significant uptick in recruitment. Other agencies, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Field Operations, have not been included in the public comments about a recruitment boom. DHS did not explain why.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said ICE, particularly, will see a manpower boost if Congress passes the legislation that would help fund Trump’s deportation operations.
“The Big Beautiful Bill will allow ICE to hire 10,000 new officers,” Noem said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.
