ICE Recruitment More Than Doubles Under Trump, As Americans Support Border Control

You know the tired script the MSM pushed on us for years. The relentless propaganda campaign from the legacy media and radical politicians insisted our police were villains, our borders were imaginary, and patriotism was a dangerous relic. Good men and women who wore the badge were vilified, while those who broke our laws were treated like heroes.

This coordinated assault on American sovereignty and civil order was designed to demoralize us, to make us believe the country we love was gone forever. And for a while, it seemed to be working. Law enforcement morale was deliberately crushed under the previous administration. But the American spirit, forged in revolution and tempered by sacrifice, is not so easily broken. It was simply waiting for a leader to tell the truth.

A recent report has now revealed a stunning reality that the media will do everything in its power to ignore. No, that’s not a typo. The silent majority is roaring back.

From ‘Just the News’:

Seizing on improving public sentiment and support for law enforcement under President Donald Trump, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) employment has gone from 10,000 agents to 22,000 in just four months, exceeding its own goal of 10,000 new employees. The hiring surge follows the review of more than 220,000 applications submitted throughout the year after multiple public campaigns urged Americans to serve their country by fortifying its borders and enforcing its immigration laws.

This isn’t just a hiring spree; it’s a seismic cultural shift. This is the Trump Effect in action—a direct and powerful repudiation of the open-border, anti-cop insanity that nearly broke our nation. These numbers prove what we have always known: Americans want a secure border, they demand an end to illegal immigration, and they are proud to stand with the heroes who enforce our laws.

A Clear Rejection of the Anti-Cop Agenda

The data tells a tale of two vastly different Americas. Under the previous administration, our law enforcement heroes faced “widespread burnout” as their morale was systematically hollowed out. They were abandoned by the political class and hunted by activists.

President Trump’s unapologetic, pro-American leadership has unleashed a tidal wave of renewed purpose. The media calls this a mysterious “zeitgeist” because they can’t bring themselves to say the three magic words: Trump was right. This isn’t just happening at the border; it’s a national revival of respect for the rule of law.

Americans Answer the President’s Call

What inspires a quarter-million Americans to apply to join ICE? It’s not just a paycheck; it’s a mission. The Trump administration speaks with a moral clarity that was absent for years, using recruitment themes that tell the unvarnished truth. One campaign declared, “America has been invaded by criminals and predators. We need YOU to get them out.”

Finally, some truth in advertising from the federal government. That is the kind of blunt honesty that connects with real Americans who see the chaos with their own eyes. While the Left offers excuses, President Trump provides a clear diagnosis and a patriotic call to arms. The people have responded in force.

A Nationwide Movement to Take Back Our Streets

This restoration of law and order is not just a border phenomenon. It is a nationwide movement exploding even in the bluest of cities. The FBI received a decade-high number of applications within the first few months of 2025.

Even more telling, the NYPD hired a record 4,056 new officers last year. It seems that even in the progressive fantasylands where “Defund the Police” was gospel, reality is finally starting to bite back. Hard. These are not coincidences. They are the direct results of a leader who chooses American safety over radical ideology.

The narrative the corporate press built for years—that America had turned its back on its protectors—has been utterly shattered. The truth is that the American spirit of service was never gone. It was just waiting for a president who believes in this country as much as its citizens do. Under Donald Trump, that spirit is alive, well, and taking our country back.

Key Takeaways

  • President Trump’s pro-law enforcement leadership directly inspires historic recruitment.
  • Americans are decisively rejecting the Left’s open-border, anti-police agenda.
  • The desire for law and order is a nationwide movement, even in liberal cities.
  • A secure border is a non-negotiable priority for the American people.
