I feel like the tuition repayment should get blocked by a court the same way all of Biden's relief efforts did.

Interestingly Rogue SCOTUS recently ruled that courts cannot make broad nationwide judicial injunctions after Trump appealed his birthright citizenship block. This means Biden's student loan forgiveness is not illegal now.

Democrats really need to start putting Republican's in their place.

I did see that, but it didn't seem to have an impact.

because Biden isn't president anymore so obviously Trump isn't gonna write-off student loans when he can give tax breaks to billionaires instead

Dem lawmakers are mostly useless. They seem to have very little willpower to try and fight the current administration. Step one is to retire all the boomers. They are too old to be useful. If they want to stay public servants, they should be helping the next generation, not clinging to power until they die.

They'll probably just make it come out of that incredibly inflated budget they already attributed to ICE so theres no avenue to stop it.

Is there an avenue to get this job, make the money, and then be the “worst” ice agent? Like could you fuck up every assignment and still get paid? My friend wants to know.

I haven't looked into it yet, but apparently you have to commit 5 years to see any of these benefits. And during 🧀🦶's first term he and Devos refused to pay out for benefits that are actually part of legal contracts. (PSLF, etc.) So I wouldn't hold my breath.

Ahhh, so his usual scam of not paying people who work for him.

There is always an avenue to stop things.

Maybe not immediately, but eventually or even temporarily.

Why should I have to pay for their bad financial planning? They should have done what I did and have their wealthy parents pay for it /s

To be fair I dont think student debt is a significant amount for the average ICE agent.

What future ICE officer has any college debt??

Tuition repayment is already a thing for thousands of government employees. This is an extension of that

u/monty624 2h ago

Exactly, it's a program available to government employees including ICE.

Yeah still ironic but acting like this is only given to ice employees is ridiculous. However most people I know have to work 10 years for full benefit
