    Well the current admin did promise to cut down on costs and actually letting them keep their bonuses would be a huge cost.

    Remember, my friends, this is still part of the scam. Now they will file lawsuits, paid for by you and I, the taxpayers, and they’ll get partial bonuses paid out in the end.

        Yea that’s normally how it works, but the news was reporting the fine print of some who signed on not getting their bonuses until they’ve met a 3 year minimum or having to pay it back. Like with anything Trump, the money was never real.

        Yes but isn’t it normally expected for you to stay for more than 3 days rather than taking it and fucking off?

        Right right, but this was advertising language. In reality it was a one-time performance bonus, but they called it a signing bonus to trick people into joining.

        The problem ICE lawyers will have is that if they call it a signing bonus, maybe the fine print doesn’t matter, because people reasonably believed that it was one… So my prediction is a class action lawsuit. Although that will be interesting because there are limits on what federal employees can sue for. We shall see.

    This move is right out of the Trump business playbook. He’s been not paying workers and committing fraud against contractors his entire adult life. Avoiding the payout was the plan from day 1 when the bonus was offered–I’m betting Trump himself recommended this outcome. Fuck ICE. I hope every agent experiences bankruptcy and hardship. They ruined their lives to serve a child-rapist.

    Maybe next time one of these losers decide to off themselves they’ll take their bosses down with them.

    This is objectively funny.

    Fuck every single one of them. I hope they are financially crippled from this and learn something important about trusting authoritarians.

      It’s even funnier. The bonus was taxable, they paid not a little bit of it to tax right away. They don’t get that refunded but they do still have to repay the 50K in full.

      In other words, trying to be a racist pieces of shit professionally was very expensive. As it should be.

      I don’t think that’s how these people are wired.

      They’re conditioned to blame others for their problems. They will just blame harder.

    Not only do these idiots get what they deserve, but it’s also hilarious that Trump is scamming and turning his most hardcore supporters against him
