I saw a video talking about the $50k bonus promised to new ICE sign-ups and how it wasn't actually a bonus because it's structured like a payday loan.

They receive the first $10k after 90 days if they remain in "good standing" (the actual requirements to meet this are unclear and could be something as simple as no write-ups, to something insane like "must make 8 arrests per day"). Every year for the next 4 years, they receive another $10k as long as they continue to qualify.

However, if at any time during these 5 years they lose "good standing" or do something else to disqualify themselves for the bonus, they have to pay it back. Again, it's not clear how much they'll have to pay back, but clawbacks are in the agreement they sign.

Who wants to bet that these ICE jockeys didn't read the fine print before signing up?
