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.

Go eat curb, Fascist goons.

Who would have thought that people would not love pedophile protectors and murderers terrorizing Americans.

[–] Zagam@piefed.social 24 points 2 days ago

I know me and my lib friends would feel super duper owned if they all blew their brains out.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

They love it, it's the best job they ever had. They get to do what they've always wanted--have power over people, order them around, and beat the shit out of them as much as they want, knowing they won't be held accountable.

Anyone that statement doesn't apply to, has either quit already or never considered taking a job like that in the first place.

Awwwww the poor gestapo has their feelings hurt? The moral is low after shooting nonviolent protesting citizens? They feel bad for racially profiling off duty cops? They are in the dumps because the public hates that they are taking away civil liberties and constitutional rights? Then fucking quit, cross the line and take a stand. Maybe you won’t be on trial once the dust settles and the Nuremberg trials II electric boogaloo start.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

Who gives a fuck if morale in the Gestapo is low?

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

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.

So many butt hurt moron Nazi fucks fell for the sign on bonus bait and switch. They'll have to put up with this job for FIVE years to get that shitty 50,000 bucks which won't even be worth jack shit by then.

Also the dumb straight-edge fucks probably don't even realize the original Nazi were on amphetamines 24/7 for 20 years.

We'll see who can outlast who.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

maybe they can solve the problem for us all, and go out like their heroes Goring and Hitler

So these clowns joined up because their echo chamber made them feel like they were going to be some kind of hero. But when they got out in reality, they found...reality. People hate them, they're destroying families, holding kids hostage, and murdering people. There are definitely a number of them getting off on what they're doing, remorselessly. For others it may just be a shit job, a lousy place to work. But for a few, I bet they finally figured out that they aren't who they thought they'd be viewed as.

I'll be interested in what their morale looks like when we get their names. Fucking Nazis.

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

  • That gig-economy gestapo job is not so great: WHO KNEW?
  • Trump is a man-child tyrant who lacks the business sense God gave to a gnat: UTTERLY BLINDSIDED
  • Shunning professional medical advice in favor of stickin'-it-to-the-libs memes in the days of a global pandemic: A REAL WHOOPSIE-DAISY

Surprises await you around every corner when you're this tragically inept.

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago

And maybe the fact they will be labeled as pariahs or jailed after all this is done, we have the names already and it's not hard to get the records once this is all over.

If it plummets far enough it might land near their IQ and critical thinking skills for signing up with such a colossal walking human rights violation that ICE is. My wish for them is that their vital signs plummet in a near identical manner.

[–] AmbitiousProcess@piefed.social 13 points 2 days ago

Good. Fuck 'em.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Good. Fuck ICE.

[–] lolo@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago

It’s not low enough until they all kill themselves.

When the morale of SS soldiers dropped after shooting so many people, the Nazis came up with the extermination camps.

Let's hope history doesn't repeat itself.

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Obviously false. You have to be a human being to experience emotions like that.

[–] III@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Even fish experience emotions... these guys are evil.
