Sounds like ICE is reaching for thugs to join their forces. It reminds me of this scene from Blazing Saddles.

The phrase "top men are working on it. top men" is a famous quote from the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark. It is used to suggest that a sensitive or important issue is being handled by a seemingly competent and secret group of experts, but with a humorous or cynical implication that nothing will actually come of it.
And the lost Ark disappeared into vast government warehouses forever.... LOL
