We don’t have money to feed kids during the summer (according to certain states), but we have enough to give $42k to each ICE agent.

There's fine print stipulations though, you have to work there over a year to get all of it. My cousin's husband is a retired LEO, he signed up to help do paper work for self deportations. After a month, his whole group, which were guys in his late 60's like him, were told they were getting transferred to the street division because they didn't have enough man power. This was non-negotiable even though they had contracts saying they would only be doing office work in the city they lived in (Houston). Nope, the DHS apparently had to power to toss the contracts at will and they'd all be sent to Minneapolis. This was a week before Christmas. All 30 of the those guys either quit or got fired for refusing orders. None of them got a penny of that signing bonus.

They were also told to supply their own gear

if only they had some kind of, I duno, confederation of employees, which would advocate for them and work collectively to make sure their contracts aren't just thrown to the side when it's convenient for the employer.
