I talked to two knowledgeable and kind people who asked me a bunch of questions. This was part of a career fair/conference, so they only had 30 minutes to interview me. It was interesting talking to them, and they didn't seem like what I might have expected ICE agents to be.

The hiring process took about four to six weeks with background checks, a drug test, and paperwork. The interview itself was a 1:1, easygoing yet professional chat. I interviewed in June, but wasn't approved to work until November, so just a heads-up, dealing with the Federal Government can make the process take a very long time.

It was pretty straightforward, they asked me questions about my experience, education, cultural background, research projects, and aspirations. The interview really sold my interest in the job. I learned a lot about the agency, especially since it was my first time ever hearing about them.
