<p>The Department of Homeland Security is recruiting new officers and agents to help carry out its mass deportation campaign at Turning Point USA&#8217;s AmericaFest this week.</p>
<p>With an influx of $165 billion from Trump&#8217;s One Big Beautiful Bill, DHS has focused on hiring more officers and agents to ramp up arrests and deportations. DHS arrived at the conference with a BearCat armored vehicle and signage reading &#8220;Decide America&#8217;s future, rise to your potential &amp; defend the homeland.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re looking for American patriots willing to defend the homeland, and honor the vision of America Charlie Kirk fought for,&#8221; DHS wrote on X.</p>

<p>The Trump administration&#8217;s goal is to hire 3,000 new Customs officers, 3,000 new Border Patrol agents, and 10,000 new Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in order to accomplish its goal of carrying out one million deportations each year.</p>

<p>The administration is currently short of that goal, with more than 605,000 deportations since Inauguration Day.</p>
<p>The agency is offering up to $50,000 in sign-on bonuses to entice new recruits. DHS has also asked former law enforcement officers to return to the job.</p>
<p>ICE has already met its goal after receiving 220,000 applications, the agency <a href="https://x.com/ICEgov/status/2001760767511793893" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Thursday.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our Defend the Homeland recruitment campaign is the MOST SUCCESSFUL federal law enforcement recruitment campaign in American history,&#8221; ICE recently said on X.</p>
<p>AmericaFest is expected to have roughly 30,000 attendees, making it the largest turnout yet.</p>
