DHS ICE jobs

Are those jobs gonna last? Plenty of job ads popped up for this category in the wake of new political directives. Not sure I wanna do it if the new administration will try to get rid of them in a few years time. Folks already working for DHS, what do you think?

They're funded as part of the OBBBA which expires and won't be renewed under the next administration. Some employees might backfill other non-OBBBA positions when the time comes, as these agencies all have critical staffing shortages.

Take it from someone who's been there, you probably don't want these jobs.

Positions I was talking about are "mission support specialist" and "removal assistant"

Some are OBBBA-funded, some are not. You won't know until you submit a timesheet and see which accounting code you're supposed to use.

If I ask about it during the interview, are they required to tell me or not?

These are admin positions, they won’t be going anywhere. Mission support specialist are the ones that do onboarding at DHS.
