Some of you may have received a "Return To Mission" email today from the ICE Deputy Director, Madison Sheahan, notifying you of an opportunity to apply to return to work as a HSI Special Agent as a rehired annuitant.

It's clear that ICE and HSI have a mandate to rapidly fill the positions that were approved by HR-1, and the experience of retirees will be a key component of the agency's implementation of the President's agenda. If you received the email and elect to apply to become a rehired annuitant you have our utmost respect and admiration.

We have also learned that the Return to Mission (RTM) email didn't go to all retirees. If you didn't receive the email it's probably because you retired more than 5 years ago. We understand that bringing back rehired annuitants that have been retired for more than 5 years would require that they go back to FLETC for training, which will not meet the agency's timeline.

We will provide you with any additional information that we learn about the RTM program.  For those of you who are not taking advantage of the RTM opportunity but are interested in working, I want to also take this opportunity to let you know about our upcoming Post-HSI Employment Webinar, which is scheduled for July 26th. Details are available on the ACHSIA website and also with the link below.
