This move is right out of the Trump business playbook. He’s been not paying workers and committing fraud against contractors his entire adult life. Avoiding the payout was the plan from day 1 when the bonus was offered–I’m betting Trump himself recommended this outcome. Fuck ICE. I hope every agent experiences bankruptcy and hardship. They ruined their lives to serve a child-rapist.
Look, when I signed up to work for an agency that deports people to countries they’ve never been to, I was fine with it cause I was gonna get a lot of money. Now that I’m not getting that money, I obviously have to vote even harder for the assholes fucking me over because the brown people are the reason I didn’t get paid, not the president who routinely doesn’t pay people. This post was sponsored by the Heritage Foundation or some shit.
If only there was some way to predict …
Well the current admin did promise to cut down on costs and actually letting them keep their bonuses would be a huge cost.
This is Awesome! Best thing I’ve seen all week.
awww. poor babies just wanted to shoot brown people, and now they’re getting fired?!
The craziest ones are the brown people that signed up
The best they could possibly do is lock down the wife and kids of the couch f*cker.
That’s the craziest part, all these sociopaths in power have immigrant wives or parents, with Trumplethinskin being the prime example.
There’s good immigrants ans bad immigrants.
The good one are rich enough or protected by people in power till they stop please them.
The bad one are everyone else. But hey… The neat part is we include the white one.
DEI Racism
Even better, they’re getting un-paid the money they already spent on a Cybertruck.
Remember, my friends, this is still part of the scam. Now they will file lawsuits, paid for by you and I, the taxpayers, and they’ll get partial bonuses paid out in the end.
Exactly. This is one of those things that I do not understand how Trump has been getting away with for more than 50 years. He rarely, if ever, pays his workers. Yet he keeps finding new investors and workers all the time. Most people who are unable to pay a single payment have their credibility fucked for a long time. But it seems to do nothing to him.
It will probably be a class action lawsuit which famously really pays out the lawyers more than the actual plaintiffs. Just another way to grease the palms of the rich.
You cant sue the government, or use class action litigation
Meh. Fuck 'em.
I thought they didn’t get the money until they reached a milestone, like 3 years later.
Aren’t signing bonuses explicitly an early in the job sort of thing?
Yea that’s normally how it works, but the news was reporting the fine print of some who signed on not getting their bonuses until they’ve met a 3 year minimum or having to pay it back. Like with anything Trump, the money was never real.
Right right, but this was advertising language. In reality it was a one-time performance bonus, but they called it a signing bonus to trick people into joining.
The problem ICE lawyers will have is that if they call it a signing bonus, maybe the fine print doesn’t matter, because people reasonably believed that it was one… So my prediction is a class action lawsuit. Although that will be interesting because there are limits on what federal employees can sue for. We shall see.
Legaly speaking, if your employee has comited crimes during their work, can’t you ask them to give back even more than just the signing bonus?
I am quite sure ICE keeps informations on their ex agents…
Yes but isn’t it normally expected for you to stay for more than 3 days rather than taking it and fucking off?
Normally yes but I think they weren’t actual signing bonuses. To be honest, I read somewhere that some were quitting because they were afraid they would never get the bonuses, but I neither remember the source, not its veracity. But a lot of times it’s Lemmy.
It’s in the name
Where’s the article?
It’s related to that ice guy who killed himself after he was fired.
This is the only thing I could find that brings to light the repayment.

took his own life in the parking lot of ICE’s Philadelphia field office just days after receiving his termination notice.
He took “termination notice” seriously
This is just pure hopium… It’s mostly Americans happy that something “was done to the fascists, yay” when in reality it’s all bs.
Newsflash Americans; you’re actually going to have to stand up to the fascists eventually!
Part of the story in that one.
Maybe next time one of these losers decide to off themselves they’ll take their bosses down with them.
They’d better get to point blank range; they’re terrible shots.
this is just a picture.
Cool. Now make like a good Nazi by taking after your role model and painting the ceiling red. Fucking traitors.
Trump betrays everyone who trusts him, even his wife and kids.
Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas. Could happy endings be expected with the group that hired them?
