Description:
Created in March 2003, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is the largest investigative branch of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The agency was created after 9/11, by combining the law enforcement arms of the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and the former U.S. Customs Service, to more effectively enforce our immigration and customs laws and to protect the United States against terrorist attacks. ICE does this by targeting illegal immigrants: the people, money and materials that support terrorism and other criminal activities. ICE is a key component of the DHS "layered defense" approach to protecting the nation.

This was same job was posted a while back (maybe a little over a year ago). I had more than the minimums and applied. I got an email response (from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave) saying I would be considered until a certain time, and never heard back from them.

I have since moved on to bigger and better things, but this would still be an awesome job to have!

The jobs are all over, but when your a newbie "Think Southern Border":nana2:. Figure on Sierra Vista or Yuma AZ, as well as hot spots like Deming NM or somewhere along the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. The flying jobs primarily support the US Border Patrol but the Spanish requirement went away when Customs Air branch and Border Patrol Air Branch merged.

If you go to the Valley you'll learn spanish:bandit:

Any questions PM me
 
You will learn Spanish? I was there a few times and people talked in broke down mexican-english. That is like saying that Tex-Mex is like a Paella!
 
I wouldn't worry too much about learning spanish. I work along the border and I don't speak spanish nor am I scheduled to learn. What guys who've attend the course have told me the course is a joke; it's not geared toward aviation and as along as you par-take you won't fail. I won't say you'll never use it but it would be rare. Hopefully by now management is getting the idea it's a waste of time and money.

If you're going to apply you need to do it soon. With the new administration coming in, the weak economy, hiring is going to slow to a halt. And unless you are station along the border you won't be fly much either. Talk to one guy who is flying less than a 100 hours a year. But hey, the pay is good and it's secure. Good Luck.

There are some areas along the river that knowing a little spanish will keep you out of trouble:bandit:

If its the same Law Enforcement Spanish course they used to teach at FLETC, your right its a joke. The Pilots don't do write ups anyways, thats what pre 10 month Patrol Agent's are for.:D
