An ICE field agent typically starts around $50k–$80k, and experienced agents often earn over $100k annually once locality, LEAP, and overtime pay are factored in.

That’s a good value for sending every single criminal illegal alien’s ass back to wherever they came from and sending the most criminal of the litter to prison in the meantime. Every single identity stealing “hardworking undocumented worker”. Garbage. How about the real US citizen dealing with the identity theft mess? Toss these parasites now with zero hope of ever returning. Down to the very last illegal criminal abuela.
And they deserve every penny to put up with liberal judges and Marxist mayors, DAs, etc trying to undo their holding up the federal laws while the pandering, Dem politicians hoping for votes next time around buck them every step of the way.
