While immigration officers support the Trump administration’s goal of deporting undocumented migrants, many of them have grown ‘disillusioned’ with leadership’s tactics, according to reports
Morale is “plummeting” among federal law enforcement officers tasked with carrying out the Trump administration’s aggressive anti-immigration operation, as they complained that long hours, ambitious arrest quotas and hatred from the public, according to reports.
While officers at Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Patrol, overseen by the Department of Homeland Security, said they supported the administration’s goal of deporting undocumented migrants, many of them have grown “disillusioned” with the tactics being implemented by leadership.
More than 20 current and former immigration officials told The New York Times of their discontent in the hours following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti by a federal agent in Minneapolis.
It was the second deadly shooting of a U.S. citizen carried out by a federal agent in weeks, as officers clashed with protesters following intense public anger over the violence in Minneapolis.
“It’s completely unfair to the agents who have been put in this position,” he added. “There’s only so much they can handle before bad things start to happen.”
They knew exactly what they were getting themselves into. Most of them want those bad things to happen. They masturbate over the prospect of that brutality.
This is just some asshole trying to hand-wave away the crimes these people are doing under the guise of “boo hoo, poor them!”
They deserve zero sympathy. And all of them who have harassed, threatened, kidnapped, hurt, or murdered people should be brought to justice.
May them and their families never have a peaceful night again.
Good. Fuck you. You’re all terrible and will one day get exactly what you deserve.
Nazi scum.
This is the first stage.
ICE are funded up until the end of FY2029, so that they can act as Trump’s personal army should the election not go his way. They cannot be defunded by anyone. That gives them over 3 years to weed out the weak, harden the strong, and practice urban combat.
So while I’m glad that these crybabies couldn’t hack the path they chose, I can’t be glad about what it’s doing to the overall makeup of ICE.
They still got a $50,000 starting bonus.
We need to cut their funding.
We need to cut their funding.
You can’t. They got given $77b. That is now their excess budget which they can carry forward for 4 years. You can, perhaps, claw some of it back, at least nominally. But getting that through the courts, and appeals, and the Supreme Court before it’s all spent? Not a chance.
Good. Fuck em. I hope they all die.
If they had any honor or humanity left in them they would kill their superiors and then themselves.
Good
I do not give a rats ass about the poor agents’ morale
I do, because low matters. They are bad and they should feel bad. Really really bad.
Feel bad? They should feel the soft caress of a prison bed.
That too
Make racists feel embarrassed again.
They never were! But it wasn’t socially acceptable for them to publicly act like Nazis. I preferred that…
Poor things, facing a few weak consequences of their murderous brutality.
If it’s too much for them, suicide is always an option.
ICE, Do the world a favor and send yourselves to the shadow realm. Then you won’t need to get put on a list after this is all done.
Not enough.
It doesn’t matter if the Nazis are sad; what they need to be is dead.
Good.
