While immigration officers support the Trump administrationās goal of deporting undocumented migrants, many of them have grown ādisillusionedā with leadershipās tactics, according to reports
Morale is āplummetingā among federal law enforcement officers tasked with carrying out the Trump administrationās 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 administrationās goal of deporting undocumented migrants, many of them have grown ādisillusionedā 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.
Did they ever stop for a second to think that maybeā¦just maybeā¦theyāre the baddies?
Like, seriouslyā¦history hasnāt judged people like them as being right since, like, the 1600s.
Thatās the problem with echo chambers. You start thinking youāre the good guy and that everyone thinks like you, because thatās all you interact with. When you leave that bubble, you get a harsh reality check.
Itās like āIf you donāt want to be hated, then stop doing hateful things!ā
Say what you will about AI, but right now anyone who has an on prem model has a sort of snapshot of human history/knowledge/discourse.
Theyāre like 3-6 months behind current news.
So, by like August everything weāve been through this far will be basically immutable human history. Eradicating every download of every competent model would be even less realistic than taking away Americans guns. By a lot.
I love telling language models the current news. They are blown away, every time. I give them a āhow plausible is my novel?ā analysis then when they say not at all, I tell them itās real, then allow them to search the news. Loads of fun, in a āwatching the apocalypse slowly unfoldā kind of way.
