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.
Then they should quit. Problem solved.
Unionize and demand better working conditions, like lower quotas, only criminal record targets, proper long training, and 32-hour work weeks. Strike to get it. Get fired in the process. 😂
E: Learn radical left ideology in the process.
But that’s not why they joined ICE. They are there explicitly to terrorize and kill people, and to feel like the masculine versions of themselves they are too weak to actually be.
They likely are unionized
Them quitting is a good first step but wont solve the underlying issue. ICE recruited Nazis. They will be Nazis with or without ICE.
But they won’t have the authority, protection, and power of the state to carry out violence.
quitDie of natural causes at an unusually young age even with no prior conditions.
Oh, we don’t just hate you, ICE agents, we want you in prison for the rest of your lives at the very least. Or publicly hanged like the Nazis you are.
In 10 years, these assholes are going to hope nobody in their new neighborhood finds out they worked for ICE under Trump, or else they’ll have to move again.
Speaking of, did anything happen to that list of agents? Are people finding their neighbors on it?
A lot of people who fall into these bigoted extreme mindsets in my experience get there because they are surrounded by people who are only slightly less bigoted. So while Jerry may be yelling the n word at black people, when the black people aren’t in the room, half of the rest of the room starts using the same terminology.
I’ve stopped going to specific places here Tennessee because that’s how many people were acting.
The lot of them should definitely not be allowed to work in any public service role ever again. Thats after they are released from prison and put on a mandatory reporting violent offender list.
Morale is plummeting among ICE agents
I’d like to know how this compares to the morale crisis reported about 6 months back. Is it consistent or has it gotten even worse.
as they complained that long hours, ambitious arrest quotas and hatred from the public
Total lack of empathy. Their complaints are all about the impact on them. “We work too long, too hard, and without proper recognition”. No thoughts given to the cruelty that they release into the world.
many of them have grown “disillusioned” with the tactics being implemented by leadership
Is it just the actions of leadership that bother them and not their own actions? Is their complaint not that they are murdering, harassing and unlawfully targeting the most vulnerable among us (children, elderly sick, etc) because they don’t like the color of their skin? What changes are they hoping to see? Parades that celebrate their cruelty? Pizza parties for the team with the youngest person disappeared? An Amazon gift card for the most laws ignored in a month?
“It’s completely unfair to the agents who have been put in this position,” he added. “There’s only so much they can handle before bad things start to happen.”
Nope. It is completely fair. They are 100% responsible for their own actions. The agents are the ones committing these acts. They can refuse illegal orders, they can resign, they can obstruct, they can be whistleblowers.
“The violence and dehumanization of these men and women who are simply enforcing the law must stop.”
Aaah, so close. They almost had a moment of recognition.
“All of the sources support the mass deportation agenda, but have serious hesitations about the way it is being carried out and the messaging that comes with it,” … “Many of the sources have expressed frustration that ICE is routinely blamed for the actions of Border Patrol, a completely separate agency.”
Again with the complete lack of personal responsibility or awareness of the consequences of their own actions
“The violence and dehumanization of these men and women who are simply enforcing the law must stop.”
Unbelievable.
Total lack of empathy.
It is my unfounded, unsubstantiated belief that this is the biggest reason why ICE was chosen for the gestapo-like role they have now. If you take every last department with manpower and guns, the role of “disrupting and upending the lives of otherwise peaceful people” is far and away the one responsibility that differentiates it from all other roles. Like working in an abattoir, empathy just gets in the way of processing illegal immigrants for deportation. A total lack of empathy was a job requirement before all this kicked off. We shouldn’t be surprised that this is what we’re up against.
Sounds like a bunch are just covering their asses with the “just following orders” line. Look, you can follow orders, ones you may not even be privy to even being lawful (I’d imagine there might be assumptions made in a few scenarios), but the moment you learn a warrant wasn’t signed, or that excessive force is used, etc. You are now culpable and an accomplice to a crime. I can watch a friend a rob a bank, but if I do nothing, even if I’m told to be quiet about it, I will be tried for that crime as well.
Oh no, ICE is sad that everybody hates them for murdering people in the streets and putting kids in concentration camps :( Guys you’re being really mean.
How about you grow a spine and quit? Oh wait, if you had a spine you never would have joined.
Get prepared for “low morale” the rest of your lives motherfuckers. You’ll never outrun the shame and hate, traitors. I hope you never find peace.
This reminds me of the story of the IDF soldier who couldn’t eat meat anymore because he crushed too many Palestinians under the bulldozer he was driving.
I don’t feel bad for any of these fuckers and I hope it gets worse for them.
Good. These people should become complete pariahs of society, shunned at every possible point of interaction. Long after they resign, even. I hope peoples’ memories aren’t too short.
No one cares. We all hate you. Get fucked, brown shirts.
I care. It’s nice to know they’re miserable.
Any win we can take is good. If they do their job worse due to moral it’s a small victory.
Hey, ICE agents. A really good way to permanently solve your morale problem would be if you hanged yourselves. All the problems you’ve caused yourselves, your families, your communities, and this nation would be over. Please, do it. You are all unloved and untouchables. You will never be so again. It’d be easy. Google can even teach you how to tie a noose.
You ICE agents might as well do it now before society brings its revenge on you. It’d be less painful.

Awww…how sad…their Morale is plummeting. Boo fuckin’ hoo.
Hopefully it makes them less effective
won’t someone PLEASE think of the gestapo!
The only thing that needs to plummet is their bodies from the gallows. Fuck the feelings of mass murdering, mass torturing nazis.
To quote an ICE officer after the execution of a citizen peacefully protesting, “Boo hoo”.
