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.

Good and fuck them. Zero sympathy for the asswipe neo-Nazis.

Zero fucking sympahty. Those cunts only signed up like reactionary teenagers because everyone else told them their ideas and bigotry were shit and now they're whining that people continue to consider them and their bigotry shit.

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 40 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

No one cares. We all hate you. Get fucked, brown shirts.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 23 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I care. It's nice to know they're miserable.

[–] coffee_nutcase207@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago

Any win we can take is good. If they do their job worse due to moral it's a small victory.

I seem to have misplaced my tiny violin. The damn violin is so tiny, I can keep losing it.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 19 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Seriously! They're not under the couch or in the fridge...

Hold on... Nope none in my hat.

Awww...how sad...their Morale is plummeting. Boo fuckin' hoo.

[–] coffee_nutcase207@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Hopefully it makes them less effective

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

These are people who, after this regime crumbles, will consider themselves the equivalent of Vietnam Vets, shunned by society.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 1 points 8 hours ago

They're gonna be the little old men in the neighbourhood who get weirdly insistent and angry that they were somewhere else when the next generation talks about the war

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 23 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Darn. Maybe they should quit.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Adverse selection. The folks that stick around are going to be the meanest, dumbest, and most cynical

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 4 points 9 hours ago

They will stick around out of sheer passion for putting their boot on necks.

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 31 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

So when do we get the movie about how invading Minneapolis made the ICE agents sad?

Idiocracy 2: the alternate timeline

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 5 points 13 hours ago

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?

None of those guys could get real jobs, and there isn't that much demand for mall cops.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 6 points 9 hours ago

Jesus, I think you just figured it out. It's all the dead malls.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Let’s be real here, who can follow in the footsteps of Paul Blart?

Great, then they should go back to their mother's basement.

[–] BlairMtnWarrior@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 11 hours ago

Mark my words, if there's not a mass of trials putting these thugs away in a few years, there will be a whole slew of them claiming they're disabled due to ptsd for their shitty behavior

if your whole approach is trickery and propaganda you better make sure your sandbox for the cult mentality is well-maintained. cutting corners everywhere isn't sustainable ya cheap pigs

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

its not plummeting fast enough! HATE HARDER COMRADES!!

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 42 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

Oh poor them.

Big fat /s

We need more community defense classes now more than ever. For Alex Pretti. For Renee Nicole Good. Seriously!

I don't fully buy this. All the gravy seals "militia" guys that we saw in 2018-2022 are just stoked to have a job that pays them for their LARPing now.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 36 points 20 hours ago (5 children)

If you are one of those people criticising peaceful protest as "not enough" this is proof it does something. It may not be enough on its own, but despite everything, they're people and they suffer from repeated, massed, loud criticism and insults. This is the mechanism through which peaceful protests can work.

[–] flamingleg@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 hours ago

Why not both?

Who would’ve thought that being the boot on innocent civilians would make you the bad guy?
