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.

    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.

    They’re like 3-6 months behind current news.

    So, by like August everything we’ve 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 ā€œhow plausible is my novel?ā€ analysis then when they say not at all, I tell them it’s real, then allow them to search the news. Loads of fun, in a ā€œwatching the apocalypse slowly unfoldā€ kind of way.
