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.

      Dude. I’ve looked everywhere. I can’t find a single fuck to give!

      Seriously! They’re not under the couch or in the fridge…

      Hold on… Nope none in my hat.

      O well 🤷

      The next day: so I did find a whole bunch inside the toilet water tank. Unfortunately I’ve decided to hold on to all them and I’m not going to be giving any away.

      And are they gonna make it loke a Vietnam veteran flick from the 80s? Except have them opening fire onto people holding milkshakes or something? Or maybe edit it to make it like they were under heavy machine gun fire and took massive casualties while their humane and PC leader from afar told them not to do anything before they went ‘fuck it! Enough with this woke shit!’ And returned fire after half their unit was dead?

        Who would have thought Amazon caused all this by killing brick and mortar stores and malls, thus creating the mall cop to ICE pipeline.

        All this time I thought it was caused by Amazon dumping money into the Trump administration. Completely different.

    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.
