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.

How many times has this paper described 2% drops in polls as 'plummeting'?

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Maybe they should fuck off and die in a hole somewhere.

“All of the sources support the mass deportation agenda, but have serious hesitations about the way it is being carried out and the messaging that comes with it,” Melugin added.

They're fine with it, they're only upset with some of "minor" details.

“Many of the sources have expressed frustration that ICE is routinely blamed for the actions of Border Patrol, a completely separate agency.”

Border Patrol was assigned to help ICE; ICE is supposedly in charge of these operations. Maybe ICE should be more discerning about what people or agencies they accept help from. And if they don't like it that much maybe they should be be exercising tighter control and oversight of the people working for them.

They have brought deep, deep shame on their ancestors and on their descendants; a kind of stain on entire family trees that doesn't simply fade.

I'd say shitty morale is understandable, if that reality were somehow managing to tunnel through the Monster Energy and Ivermectin boiling around their pickled brains.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

aww, so sad. maybe quit and wait for your trials, you traitors.

[–] BlairMtnWarrior@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

Mark my words, if there's not a mass of trials putting these thugs away in a few years, there will be a whole slew of them claiming they're disabled due to ptsd for their shitty behavior

These are people who, after this regime crumbles, will consider themselves the equivalent of Vietnam Vets, shunned by society.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

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

[–] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago
