As soon as we heard that the signing bonus was related to a probationary period, everyone who knows anything about how Trump does business said, “Nobody is getting that bonus.”
It’s extra shitty if they paid it out up front and now the employees have to pay it back, but none of this comes as a surprise.
It’s only the case because Trump is using taxpayer money and not from his pocket. If he had to personally pay the signing bonus they wouldn’t get one even if it was promised. If Elon wanted DOGE to actually do it’s job they would impeach Trump.

This is a single instance posted with little to no detail in a thread that loves to promote any kind of rumor of a reactionary experiencing hardship.
So, consider taking it with a boulder of salt.
No source. No supporting details. It’s just Lefty Forward From Grandma as far as I’m concerned.
The bonuses are doled out over 5 years in $10,000 increments. Student loan forgiveness (who are we kidding… these guys didn’t go to Yale) is similarly spread out. Both are at the discretion of supervisors.
To all ICE agents. He will be gone one day and you won’t have Noem’s skirts to hide behind. We are not going to forget and are going to demand Nuremburg style trials for you. Oh and that 50k signing bonus? Never going to see it
the cynic in me thinks it’s more just that they have impossible quotas. since many of them are coming in with the idea that the country is bursting with illegals, they think they will reach those numbers easily but then find that no, actually like we’ve been telling you, they’re mostly here legally. So they fail to make their numbers, are marked as poor performers and wash out. The smart ones would have put that signing bonus into a HYSA but I doubt their that clever.
Could be a neat way to wash away student loans. Use the 50K to pay off student debt, Fail on purpose, declare bankruptcy to dismiss the signing bonus debt.
Anyway, I don’t think it has to do with their conduct or competency they got played using the old MLM scheme. can’t deport illegals when all the illegals and even questionable have already been deported. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes as they like to say.
edit:
Don’t get me wrong they’re def pieces of shit, but a piece of shit with a major quota can be extra shitty because of stress. Like starving and beating a street dog. It’s already prone to biting. you just made it snap faster.

That’s fucking genius. No way they are thinking that deep.
Well, what I want to know is, were these people fired because they weren’t brownshirt enough? Then it’s just cleaning ranks for the most loyal and extreme hires to come in. This is what it seems to be, since the people being fired are due to failed “background checks” or “poor performance”.
I take two things from this:
Secret third thing: they never intended to keep them in the first place, and it was a scam the whole time. I doubt 1 or 2 are even plausible.
It’s not a secret third thing.

It would be shitty if it happened to nurses or firemen or something. This is fucking hilarious.
Iirc, it was a taxable 10K per year for 5 years. If they were let go, they had to pay back the full, untaxed amount.
It does, in fact, seem like that’s the case

Everything they do is a scam, so this tracks
it was planned 5 year in to get the bonus, they fully expect the next president to immediately fire, ro downsize the agency.

also even if there are illegals out there , they wont be announcing or showing themselves. they will be mostly in Hiding.
Basically just like the Nazi Brownshirts when they outlived their usefulness.
Now we just have to wait until they do something stupid and then get officially disbanded.

It’s almost always a case of both, but it’s likely that the US Govie has more elite fanatic troops they deem sufficient.
