Deportation Officer (DAL-ERO-10214872-DH-BH)

[BigZ152]

Anybody have an idea more or less when they would start contacting for entrance exam? 2 weeks possibly the earliest? If not obviously limbo?

[notoriousjnc]

Give it at least a month. In fact get ready for quite the wait in general lol.

[Yshaban]

"An email with the link to the USA Hire Competency Based Assessment and the Writing Sample will be sent approximately 6 weeks after the close date of the announcement. Applicants will receive an email notification entitled "Online Assessment are Required for announcement DAL-ERO-10951646-DH-MJfrom" Feb the latest is expected at the moment.

Yshaban how long does it take for the application status go from received to referred?

[Criso]

trooper2864 1/16 application received. I took the assessment on 3/16. 3/30 referred. Oops forgot to mention. January announcement

[myman12]

Anybody been at the academy recently?

[darkhorse6]

Some posting in the FLETC cancellations thread have.

[le_hopeful45]

ICE Deportation Officer or Deputy US Marshal? Which one would be a better choice?

[FNG41YR]

Cali that guy left because he was probably bored out of his mind being a DO. This job isn’t what some of these old timers make it to be.

[trooper2864]

I’ve worked with the USMS task force on a couple ops here as local pd most USMS isn’t the sexy high speed stuff you see on YouTube or movies. If you want sexy don’t go DO since you won’t start out in fugitive ops however, correct me if I’m wrong Exbpa340 but fugitive ops for ERO is pretty much the same as fugitive ops for the USMS. When we did our op we had a target list that entailed surveillance and ultimately Apprehension of that subject but most marshals work at the court houses and jails and the various other stuff the marshal service is responsible for. I have 6 years as local pd experience I really look forward to hopefully jumping to DO it’s a different job it’s not for everyone.

[Exbpa340]

I have not worked on the USMS TF but my office/Suboffice has a couple of DOs assigned to the TF. The USM TF will definitely be targeting on average a higher value target than your the local FUG OPS teams. It almost seems easier to land on the TF being from an outside agency than within the USMS. A lot of it comes down to personal preference and what kind of officer/agent one wants to be. My post was mainly about the financial impact of dropping in grade/pay for a position.

Immigration law is a different animal and is not for everyone. I have had a pretty long career in this field and am more than happy with the path I chose.

Example - Back in 2018 I was working the detained docket and a Costa Rican EWI was released from prison to us. He had just finished a 14 year prison sentence for having raped two 9 year old little girls multiple times over a two year period. One of the CAP guys knocked out the Admin and then the case was turned over to me. From there had to set everything up for his removal... getting the TD, Threat Assessment, Escort Officers assigned (I was one of the two), setting up the removal, country clearances, Interpol Green notice, booking the travel and numerous other things along the way. I then escorted this POS to CR and upon delivering him to the CR authorities gifted them a copy of the conviction documents with victim names redacted. I wanted to ensure that they knew exactly what kind of POS this guy was. In my eyes we do a very good service for our country. We don’t always win and at times it can be frustrating seeing what these IJs grant or how political things have become. We can only do the job to the best of our abilities.

[trooper2864]

Exbpa340 I always appreciate the input. I was more posting in regards to the original post about what agency to choose I do remember when I worked with the guys a couple years ago they were having retention issues because it was very hard for agents to get on the fugitive apprehension teams in fact majority of the guys here are local pd over sighted by a couple marshals

[AaronOC]

Anyone waiting on EOD from the January 2020 announcement?

[Criso]

Me. My background was submitted a couple or several weeks ago. I didn’t get the interim option. I was told they were just going to do the whole thing

[JordanB]

They making us sweat. Like every last one of us! LoL

[myman12]

Who's in the academy now for ICE DO?

[Calitown]

Question guys,
Is this still a polygraph position?

[Anthropologist]

It is probably required for new hires. However, I believe that current ICE employees are exempt from that requirement.

[Yshaban]

As of lately its on basis, Meaning that some applicant's do get a poly and some don't. Not sure how they pick and choose, but I'm guessing if an applicant for CBP failed a poly they would obviously have to take another one for ICE.

[Calitown]

Anthropologist Yshaban Thank you guys for the response. Was asking for a buddy who just applied to the recent announcement

[Exbpa340]

@EX who are the “most DOs” you speak of? Where do you get this 12-15 yr stuff from? If won’t take me anywhere that to make what I make now with the USMS. You’re also assuming your precious FLSA will still be around with incoming administration.

FNG41YR we have had more than a few disagreements on this forum. You are a nugget that seems quite unhappy with the DO position. You can leave anytime as there are literally thousands waiting to fill that vacancy and will no doubt do a better job. I will break down the math for you.
Year 1
GS 12/5 with AUO/FLSA = 125,000
GL 7/10 (0082) = 67,500
Loss After 1 year = 57,500

Year 2
GS 12/5 with AUO/FLSA = 125,000
GL 9/10 (0082) = 76,800
Loss after 2 years = 105,700

Year 3
GS 12/6 with AUO /FLSA = 129,000
GS 11/9 (1811) with LEAP = 110,400
Loss after 3 years = 124,300

Year 4
GS 12/6 with AUO/FLSA = 129,000
GS 12/5 (1811) with LEAP = 118,400
Loss after 4 years = 134,900

Year 5
GS 12/7 with AUO/FLSA = 132,500
GS 13/2 (1811) with LEAP = 128,400
Loss after 5 years = 139,000

Year 6
GS 12/7 with AUO/FLSA = 132,500
GS 13/3 (1811) with LEAP = 132,600
Loss after 6 years = 138,900

So how many years will it take to break even after losing almost 140k in earnings to take this position? FYI An SA 1811 at GS 13/5 makes about 11 K more than a GS 12/5 with AUO/FLSA. These number are assuming pay matching that the USMS doesn’t have to do...so if you go on as a GL 7/1 then the numbers would be much worse.

The USMS is pretty much the worst 1811 position to drop down and take because they don’t get LEAP until they are a GS 11. Some other positions actually get LEAP at the academy so the loss would be less and the break even point would be sooner. This is just a look at the financials. In the end if you have enough years left to work it can be a better financial move and would result in a higher high 3.

We all get that you hate the job/position. Not sure if you are just that kind of person (seems to be since you move around frequently) or that you are just in a crappy location. Either way Don’t let the door hit you in the arse on the way out.

[Exbpa340]

No crying here. I am pretty content with life/things. Can you say the same?.

I hope for everyone’s sake that you move onto the USMS and then you can break even a couple of years into retirement. Sounds like a sound financial plan.

So how many years on the job? 3?

Try re-reading my posts. I am spot on when it comes to the math and as I said it is not financially a good move for MANY DOs. Those that have only been in the job a few years (like you) will lose less but still lose a significant amount of income. There is more to life than just the money so some may look for a change in working conditions or location and that was not addressed in my posts.

[Exbpa340]

You’ve been pretty much a constant negative force when you post here... talking crap about PAs and your fellow DOs. You might have forgotten but you PM’d me about 2 years ago and claimed to have pretty much “done” all the ERO Enforcement stuff including working on TFs. At the time you made that claim how much time on the job did you have then? 18 months? You made other claims about jobs in multiple agencies, education, multiple language skills and years on active duty. Maybe you’ve done it all but the odds are is that your a BSer.

I find it highly unlikely that you’ve “done” it all including working on task forces (as in plural) with only a couple of years on the job.

[FNG41YR]

Taking this to PM. We’ve muddies these waters enough

[Yshaban]

Just flag him if you'd like to Exbpa340 Ive done the same and i agree, No one comes on here to read the same negative comments over and over again, there is always two ways of saying something and this just ain't it.

[BigZ152]

Good afternoon, quick question, does anyone know where DO is located in SA or where it would be located?

[darkhorse6]

https://www.ice.gov/field-office/san...o-field-office

I located this after a simple 0.001 second google search. Here you go.

[FNG41YR]

There are a few locations under the SA AOR. shoot me a PM

[darkhorse6]

Good afternoon, quick question, does anyone know where DO is located in SA or where it would be located?

What does DO mean and which location is SA? Detainee Operations? Deportation Officer? San Antonio? Santa Anna? San Angelo?

For all we know, you could be asking where a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) is located in South Australia (S.A.). Asking others to assume is NEVER a good idea because you have no control over how the message is received. You do have control on how the message is conveyed.

It really is easier for people to answer your question if you don’t use generalized acronyms and use plain English. It’s going to be difficult to get answers to questions if you can’t articulate what it is you are exactly asking about. Have you attempted to utilize Google or other search engines to answer your question?

The reason why I bring this up is because all police officers or law-enforcement officers have the basic skill set of being able to research public information to get answers to questions. This is constructive criticism to help you.

[Criso]

Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Calitown]

darkhorse6 had me cracking me up brotha, hooah!

[boconnor]

Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the VP is such a VIP, shouldn't we keep the PC on the QT? 'Cause if it leaks to the VC he could end up MIA, and then we'd all be put on KP.

Is this plain enough English

[thefoot12]

Has anyone heard anything from the recent DO posting

[Yshaban]

With all due respect I know some people really want this position and anticipate getting on the job but you guys need to read whats posted. the MINIMUM time to get an invitation to the exam is Feb for the recent announcement. No need for daily posts asking people if they heard anything. Once someone hears something it'll be posted almost immediately.
