It's also worth noting here that the *minimum* salary for these ICE positions is $52,205. While the *median* salaries for childcare workers and home health aides are less than $35,000 per year.
This ICE job posting reads like a video game ad. Which is almost certainly by design.

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Trump’s promise Wednesday to pay troops a “warrior dividend” bonus is actually a military housing stipend already approved by Congress, and not a generous new White House program.
