SALARY UPDATE:
ICE, like most federal agencies, utilizes the GS federal pay scale. Individuals working as ICE Agents begin at a pay grade that directly reflects their education and experience, although most new ICE agents begin at GS-5 which, as of 2012, was between $27,431 and $35,657.
GS-5: $27,431-$35,657
GS-6: $30,577-$39,748
GS-7: 33,979-$44,176
GS-8: $37,631-$48,917
GS-9: $41,563-$54,028
HSI special agents are usually offered at the GL-7 and GL-9 level.
To qualify at the GS-5 level and receive the equivalent salary, candidates must either possess a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university or at least 3 years of general experience.
