Iirc many of the signing bonuses required a contract of 5 years.

Which is conveniently 1 year longer than the president's term...

    Eh, what you're implying is not how these things usually work. If the government side terminates your contract early, you keep the bonus. I've seen it in the military. People signed with bonuses that the government paid up front. Then while the member was in tech school his position got cut (Air National Guard), so they ended his contract but he kept the bonus because he wasn't the one that invalidated the contract. If it works the same and these ICE agents did get terminated by the next administration, they would still keep their bonus.

    This is exactly to motivate those thugs so they do everything that trump stays in power after 2029.

    Not only they might need to pay 50,000 that they probably already spent, but might be also told that they will go to jail for doing what they were told to keep that 50k.

    I wouldn't be surprised that those fired ICE were fired, because they had issues with what they were told to do.
