While immigration officers support the Trump administration’s goal of deporting undocumented migrants, many of them have grown ā€˜disillusioned’ with leadership’s tactics, according to reports

Morale is ā€œplummetingā€ 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 ā€œdisillusionedā€ 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.

    I can never seem to find my nanoscopic violin when I need it. You wouldn’t believe how easily that tiny thing gets lost.

      And so expensive to replace! You’d think ā€œSurely someone can just pretend!ā€, but the true connoisseur of miniscule heart-rending accompaniment can always tell the difference.

      …and don’t call me Shirley.
