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.
Can’t they all just go back to their paramilitary shacks/camps in the woods where they will train even more to protect themselves and the citizens against a tyrannical government? Can’t they? Don’t they know they’ve been fooled into helping the tyrannical government? Don’t they? /s
Do the smart and right thing by cashing cheques as long as possible while doing nothing
I know me and my lib friends would feel super duper owned if they all blew their brains out.
It’s kind of wild how much this is tracking with nazi germany.
The Brownshirts were Hitler’s first paramilitary force but ultimately became a liability due to their sheer incompetence / stupidity.
So came the Night of Long Knives.
Then they should quit. Problem solved.
They all got massive sign-on bonuses. If they quite before 5 years they have to pay 10k per year they left early.
It sucks to suck.
For sure but I feel even the ones that want to quit won’t, because of this. That’s all I meant 🤷♂️
quitDie of natural causes at an unusually young age even with no prior conditions.
Fuck that.
Prior conditions.
ALL the prior conditions. U.S. healthcare will prove to be just as fatal, optimizes suffering, far more expensive, and the frustration of knowing you could be cured easily by a functional system run by a caring society.
Unionize and demand better working conditions, like lower quotas, only criminal record targets, proper long training, and 32-hour work weeks. Strike to get it. Get fired in the process. 😂
But that’s bout why they joined ICE. They are there explicitly to terrorize and kill people, and to feel like the masculine versions of themselves they are too weak to actually be.
The Border Patrol officers are literally in the same union as the nurse they shot in Minneapolis.
Bloody hell.
Yes, it is.
That’s gonna make for an awkward all hands meeting.
You shoot a union member you should be kicked out of the union or pay damages through the union. Solidary shouldn’t be this blind.
They likely are unionized
It’s crazy that it’s literally illegal for federal employees to strike.
I don’t know if this is true, but the employment contracts supposedly have a repayment clause. So the assumption is many people are financially unable to quit once they are hired.
Must be a US thing.
Its actually really common in the US. Hiring bonuses get paid out at the end of the first year but are paid on the first day. The repayment is pro-rated based on how long you worked.
Yes of course. Every job in the United States starts with a debt contract /s
It’s a unique ice thing. I’ve heard they are paid a bonus and are on the hook to give it back if they don’t work 5 years. Ofc they could just not spend it but assuming they did they owe the government money if they quit.
I don’t care though, they are murdering people in the streets
lol - the Nazis are indentured servants?
Its not unique to ICE its how hiring bonuses work all over the US. Its not universal but it is a common practice.
I’ve never heard of this before but it is a real thing. I would chock this up to the Administration not wanting to really pay anyone… thus trying to ensure they don’t get massive numbers quitting.
Also, anyone notice that all the people working for DHS during all of this that media has captured in public are men? Is that by design or do women have better morality?
My wife told me about some lefty podcast she listens to where the host was recruited by them and went through the process just to take a peek behind the curtain. Apparently the 5-year repayment thing is real, at least going by the contract they gave her.
Allow me to ready the world’s tiniest violin for a serenade…
Them quitting is a good first step but wont solve the underlying issue. ICE recruited Nazis. They will be Nazis with or without ICE.
The Nazis are not the ones with the moral problems, I’m sure. They are all walking around at half-mast over the hate they are receiving and the atrocities they are committing.
To be precise, the Nazis do have plenty of moral problems. They’re not the ones with morale problems.
Fair point. Thanks for the correction.
English is such a weird language.
But they won’t have the authority, protection, and power of the state to carry out violence.
Exactly. If they still accept a check, the morale isn’t “low”
They have to realize that eventually people are going to start fighting back, too, and their leadership don’t give a fuck about them. They’re a means to an end, and that end is getting people to riot so Trump can declare it an insurrection. If they think they fear for their lives now, wait til people start responding with actual force, not the imaginary threats they complain about.
Sorry, I lost the world’s smallest violin. This is the best I can do: 🖕
I think it’s probably with all of the fucks no one has for these bastards.
It’s in this person’s comment:
In 10 years, these assholes are going to hope nobody in their new neighborhood finds out they worked for ICE under Trump, or else they’ll have to move again.
I hope it haunts them. It’s the least they deserve.
Speaking of, did anything happen to that list of agents? Are people finding their neighbors on it?
A lot of people who fall into these bigoted extreme mindsets in my experience get there because they are surrounded by people who are only slightly less bigoted. So while Jerry may be yelling the n word at black people, when the black people aren’t in the room, half of the rest of the room starts using the same terminology.
I’ve stopped going to specific places here Tennessee because that’s how many people were acting.
Asking the real questions.
I’m pretty sure that’s how they found the pastor of that church was an ice supervisor
You mean David Easterwood? The pastor who leads the ICE field office in St. Paul? This David Easterwood?

That’s good to hear that they’re using it. I didn’t connect the dots on that one.
I saw someone made a wiki out of it
The lot of them should definitely not be allowed to work in any public service role ever again. Thats after they are released from prison and put on a mandatory reporting violent offender list.
Waiting for them to all take the Revolver Taste Test Challenge.
Yep. It’s coming. It’s hard to imagine now but these are people who, if they live long enough, they inevitably die miserable.
Oh no… F*ck’em
Oh no, ICE is sad that everybody hates them for murdering people in the streets and putting kids in concentration camps :( Guys you’re being really mean.
How about you grow a spine and quit? Oh wait, if you had a spine you never would have joined.
Get prepared for “low morale” the rest of your lives motherfuckers. You’ll never outrun the shame and hate, traitors. I hope you never find peace.
To quote an ICE officer after the execution of a citizen peacefully protesting, “Boo hoo”.
