* Short paragraph on how the ICE agents payment system work. Salient info: the whole set up is controlled by the OPM. ICE spokesperson insists the agents, 'risk their own safety', do not get large bonuses but are paid to enforce the nation's immigration laws. Risking their won safety, as the American public can see, is down to their aggressive tactics. They have also killed several people who posed no threat at all.
