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.
This is the first stage.
ICE are funded up until the end of FY2029, so that they can act as Trumpās personal army should the election not go his way. They cannot be defunded by anyone. That gives them over 3 years to weed out the weak, harden the strong, and practice urban combat.
So while Iām glad that these crybabies couldnāt hack the path they chose, I canāt be glad about what itās doing to the overall makeup of ICE.
