ICE, CBP Launch Campus Recruitment Blitz: Cornell Promotes DEPORTATION OFFICER Jobs With $50K Bonus, Age Cut To 18

Cornell Career Services is promoting DHS roles including an ICE Deportation Officer opening and CBP recruitment webinars via USAJobs and Handshake. The events, open to over 1,200 schools, mirror a national recruitment push as ICE and Border Patrol seek thousands of new hires, aided by increased funding, a lowered minimum age to 18, and incentives like a $50,000 sign-on bonus and student loan assistance. Faculty and advocates warn campus postings could heighten insecurity for undocumented students and normalize an enforcement presence. Cornell says employers post directly to Handshake and referred inquiries to DHS.
