US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, is offering recruitment bonuses of up to $50,000 (£37,700) and student loan help to "brave and heroic" Americans interested in helping with the Trump administration's deportation drive.

The agency is specifically hoping to recruit deportation officers, along with attorneys, criminal investigators, student visa adjudicators and other roles.

In total, ICE hopes to add 10,000 new personnel, doubling the agency's headcount as it ramps up deportations across the country.

The funding for the recruitment drive comes from approximately $165bn allocated for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in Donald Trump's sweeping tax and spending bill.

As part of a new recruitment drive announced on 29 July, DHS unveiled recruitment posters akin to those used during World War Two, with the words "America Needs You" and "Defend the Homeland" with images of Uncle Sam, President Trump, homeland security secretary Kristi Noem and other officials.
