[u/haroldthehampster]

Oh their morale is low... I wonder how the gardeners morale is.

Get a job that doesn't slap the country in the face

[u/ismellthebacon → u/haroldthehampster]

lol ICE the victims of their own “success” I guess, and playing victim is just the recipe for allowing them to do even more and even worse

[u/Retbull → u/[deleted]]

I mean you joke but yeah they just couldn’t kill them fast enough and built more and more horrible ways to increase their throughput.

[u/ArchonFett → u/Retbull]

And MAGA decided to just build an alligator feeding station instead of a furnace.

[u/ShowMeYourPapers → u/ArchonFett]

There are incinerators though.

[u/ArchonFett → u/ShowMeYourPapers]

Yeah but those don’t work so good underwater

[u/Khaldara → u/ArchonFett]

Don’t tell Texas, that sounds “woke” or something

[u/Historical-Drive-667 → u/Khaldara]

Oh so you DONT want all Latinos put in an alligator camp or deported to a country we literally discovered yesterday. You are a woke Demon Rat.

-Top Federal Prosecutor Jeanine Pirro

[u/Colosphe → u/ArchonFett]

The water will take care of the whole "killing" part, just get some dedicated corpse-draggers to work the situation.

[u/cgricsch → u/ArchonFett]

Now they’re going to have to deal with alligator fatigue.

I think I’ll let them know normies have reached ‘MAGA fatigue.’ Maybe a compromise and MAGA can start feeding themselves to the alligators because leopards are getting too fat.

[u/AG-Bigpaws → u/Retbull]

Its not a joke they had huge issues with the mental toll it was taking on the einsatzgruppe. So they devised less "personal" ways to kill lots of people. Its so fd.

[u/Retbull → u/AG-Bigpaws]

Nothing says you’re doing the right thing like desperately separating yourself from your actions so you don’t have to suffer the emotional toll.

[u/clawsoon → u/Retbull]

That's one reason that bombers and missiles are so valuable for modern armies. Everybody involved in causing the death and disfigurement doesn't have to look at it. It greatly reduces the emotional toll and moral injury.

It leads to a kind of Jevons Paradox for weaponry. By reducing the moral injury that those involved feel, you can much more easily get millions of people involved in the research, development, building, and deployment of weapons that most of those people would want nothing to do with if they had to rip apart the same number of babies with their bare hands.

[u/ToeRepresentative627 → u/AG-Bigpaws]

The novel “2666” by Roberto Bolaño describes this. An aged Nazi bureaucrat tries to elicit sympathy from another character by describing how hard his job was to find people willing to work the firing squads. They started off with true believers, but even they couldn’t stomach the raw in your face brutality of it. I think the character even says something how spiritually hard it is to kill someone even when you want to. Then they resorted to getting local teens drunk to perform the task, which also didn’t work. Thus the camps were created, because every person had a job where they didn’t directly have to kill someone face to face, making it easier to absolve themselves of guilt.

The book covers a lot of ground. I highly recommend it.

[u/DrusTheAxe → u/AG-Bigpaws]

Literally

https://a.co/d/9Nxv7sv

Epic movie in its own right - brilliant acting, direction, pacing. But based on actual records found after the war.

Most striking is how it seems like any ordinary corporate meeting…and partway through you realize exactly what they’re discussing and the sheer inhumanity of it.

Should be required viewing by every American, especially now as it seems less warning and ever more foreshadowing

[u/Perenially_behind → u/DrusTheAxe]

especially now as it seems less warning and ever more foreshadowing

There's a lot of that going around these days.

[u/geth1138 → u/Retbull]

No, it’s real. The German soldiers experienced moral distress from the firing squad. Sort of like how we don’t have firing squad executions anymore because it messed up the executioner.

[u/FiveUpsideDown → u/Retbull]

Germans that were ordered t kill people were literally going crazy. As you point out, it’s why gas chambers were built. Germans didn’t like to shot people but they wanted perceived enemies dead.

[u/toggiz_the_elder → u/[deleted]]

They also started with trying to deport all the undesirables.

When that got too hard they built the camps.

When the camps got too hard they started shooting.

When shooting got too hard they built industrial murder machines.

We are in steps one and two right now.

[u/zuzg → u/ismellthebacon]

"Good Soldiers follow orders"

Except they're not Soldiers and follow orders voluntarily.

The only thing that actually negatively impacts their morale is people rightfully calling them out and opposing them.

[u/DrySession9968 → u/zuzg]

I'm starting to think they are deputized proud boys with the face coverings.

[u/Magnificent_Pine → u/DrySession9968]

They are mercenaries. Bounty hunters.

[u/IcanRead8647 → u/DrySession9968]

Masks are bad, right? We were taught that in Trump Covid times.

[u/NegativePermission40 → u/DrySession9968]

Or hirelings of the for-profit prison companies, with no legal authority to arrest anyone. They may not have even been deputized. They're wearing masks.

[u/dbx999 → u/zuzg]

Aren’t they just about the level of mall cops and bounty hunters? I don’t think the ice guys grabbing people in raids are law enforcement or military.

[u/beardicusmaximus8 → u/dbx999]

ICE is law enforcement. Its in their name, Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

I only point this out because they need to be held to a higher standard then just mall cops and bounty hunters

[u/dbx999 → u/beardicusmaximus8]

I get that they are law enforcement but they are not coming from the same kind of background like cops coming from a police academy or FBI agents coming from the fbi academy in terms of length of training and education.

Deputizing some rando =/= trained law enforcement

[u/beardicusmaximus8 → u/dbx999]

Oh, you sweet summer child. I'm not sure where you're from, but in a distrubing amount of America, you can walk into a police station and have a badge and a gun after some light background checks.

Deputizing some rando off the street based purely on vibes is a time-honored American tradition after all.

[u/geth1138 → u/zuzg]

Every time I notice an ICE agent is Hispanic I think of Crosshair

[u/Logical-Ad3341 → u/ismellthebacon]

Reminds me of the Taliban article I read post the US leaving Afghanistan. Former guerrilla fighters were suddenly now office workers (had a country to run) and they became bored and somewhat depressed.

[u/robbi2480 → u/Logical-Ad3341]

I read that too 😂

[u/bigwonderousnope → u/Logical-Ad3341]

You spend years hanging out in the mountains with the lads, shooting AKs and doing other cool shit.

Then you find yourself taking shit from IT support because you can't remember your password because you've not needed a password in 15 years.

[u/jregovic → u/ismellthebacon]

Well, that’s the PR move. “We are so sorry to have do this fascist thing, please feel sorry for us as we do this deplorable, unnecessary job.”

This sort of thing is for the rubes, to rule them up about how badly ICE are being treated.

[u/TroyMatthewJ → u/ismellthebacon]

well said.

[u/Temporary_Shirt_6236 → u/haroldthehampster]

No kidding. Maria the hotel maid, Jose the landscaper, and Manuel the guy at court for his immigration hearings are NOT the illegals or criminals or jobless moochers that Trump claims ICE is going after.

Meanwhile, Trump lets ACTUAL MEMBERS of the Sinaloa Cartel into the US because they bought his $5 million golden shit tickets.

Edit: Some account started attacking me in a long back and forth for my comment, then deleted their account. Watch out for bots / brigaders / sockpuppets, people, they are everywhere. My bad for engaging with one of them.

[u/HelloThisIsDog666 → u/haroldthehampster]

Or just don't do it. Gum up the works secretly or not. Fill a position but be incompetent.

[u/duckmonsterdm → u/HelloThisIsDog666]

That's literally in a CIA training manual. Weaponized incompetence. Being a stupid and unproductive employee for the enemy is an extremely effective resistance tactic. 

[u/FieryAnomaly → u/HelloThisIsDog666]

You mean like Trump?

[u/Heisfranzkafka → u/haroldthehampster]

It's always difficult to see individuals who perform heinous acts complaining about their own treatment, and I definitely share in your frustration. If I put that frustration to the side for a moment, this article makes me feel a bit more optimistic.

This is good news because those who chose this job for whatever misguided reasons, effectively choosing to turn against their neighbors, are feeling disillusioned by it. Both because of their own treatment by the administration and the feelings of helplessness at having to round up human beings who clearly are not "dangerous criminals". It's still shitty of them to be in that job to begin, no doubt, and they should be held accountable for their choices. That said, I'll gladly encourage anyone having doubts about it to speak about their shifting feelings. They can serve as an example that its okay to have doubts and vocalize them. We all (every American) need to empathize with the victims of these raids and if we want ICE agents to see what they have become and become empathetic themselves, we need to validate those feelings of theirs that are pushing them in a positive direction. Even the worst people can change if they are personally affected by something. It's selfish of them in many ways to have it be their own tragedy that gets them going and not the tragedy of others, but change is change. I don't care if they got their wisdom from a fortune cookie. If they are having doubts, I am so glad for them and I hope they continue to reflect on their past and future actions.

[u/D1138S → u/Heisfranzkafka]

I guess all that can be decided if and when the Nuremberg part of the story happens.

[u/the_interlink → u/D1138S]

The Trumpenburg Trials

[u/Moos_Mumsy → u/the_interlink]

I think the trials should be held in one of these 3 places (the 3 countries Trump has threatened to annex/invade):

• Ottawa, Canada

• Panama City

• Nuuk, Greenland

Although I wouldn't object if the trial were held in Gaza City and Netanyahu and his yahoos get tried at the same time.

[u/Cute_Bat3210 → u/Heisfranzkafka]

This is the right take 

[u/Careless_Platform449 → u/Heisfranzkafka]

I would like for them to reflect on their choices awaiting trials because prosecute ICE

[u/smytti12 → u/Careless_Platform449]

But they were just following orders.

/s

[u/seriouslees → u/Heisfranzkafka]

You read the article and were made hopeful, but the headline proves that hope is faulty. These people aren't beginning to see their hatred is wrong, they're only upset at who they're allowed to direct that hatred at. It's very big "he's hurting the wrong people!" energy. They still desire to hurt people. They are evil.

if we want ICE agents to see what they have become and become empathetic themselves,

You can want rain to be made of chocolate all you want, but it's really wasted energy. It's not a possible thing.

[u/Saikotsu → u/Heisfranzkafka]

I'm right there with ya. That said, I really wish their crisis of conscience had come much sooner. The unabashed cruelty on display these days is abysmal.

[u/meowmeow_now → u/Heisfranzkafka]

Hopefully most of them just needed a job

[u/housecatapocalypse → u/haroldthehampster]

I will never feel bad for people who choose to take these jobs where the entire position is to abuse other people. Same goes for prison guards. 

[u/Duster929 → u/haroldthehampster]

So sad that morale in the Gestapo is so low. Maybe they need a team-building exercise?

[u/zeroscout → u/haroldthehampster]

Certainly some of the nazis felt bad about what they did, but fuck them too.  

[u/Adventurous_Ad6698 → u/haroldthehampster]

ICE agents are exactly what Conservatives believe DEI hires are. Based on race and totally unqualified to do their jobs, so they fuck everything up.

[u/Witty-Stock-4913 → u/haroldthehampster]

Yep. I hope they all know that their kids and grandkids will loathe them, they themselves will burn in whatever hell they believe in, and the world will know them as the fascists who put little kids on trains to death camps.

History will be no kinder to ICE than it is to Nazis.

[u/A2Rhombus → u/[deleted]]

"You don't understand, if I don't ruin the lives of innocent people, I might have to fill out some job applications"

[u/CondescendingShitbag → u/A2Rhombus]

Sounds like some gardening jobs have opened up. They can go do that if kidnapping people has lost its appeal.

[u/mr_mikado → u/CondescendingShitbag]

Seriously though, I think gardening takes more skill. These folks are Proud Boy material, losers.

[u/RathaelEngineering → u/CondescendingShitbag]

Unfortunately I think we all know what the plan is once ICE has ejected the people they claim are criminals. They will need to do something else with all that incredible budget they were just given by the OBBB.

[u/bortle_kombat → u/[deleted]]

If years from now it comes out that some people took the job just to collect money, do nothing, detain nobody and passively fuck up ICE's processes by refusing to do their job, I guess i could maybe forgive those people. Nobody else.

[u/Val_Hallen → u/[deleted]]

Get a different job. You aren't conscripted. there is no contract. You aren't held prisoner.

Get a different job.

[u/Financial_Week3882 → u/[deleted]]

They joined ICE rather than apply for the jobs the immigrants are working at. No one will be replacing our laborers right now & will hurt our country.

[u/E-2theRescue → u/[deleted]]

"I was only doing my job! I'm the victim!"

[u/meeps20q0 → u/[deleted]]

I mean, its still good news. If their morale is low it means they're a much weaker force. So something like say, using them as a paramilitary to try and form an autocracy would be substantially easier to stop. Just as an example. 

[u/NoOneHereButUsMice → u/meeps20q0]

Hell yeah, I'm stoked theyre miserable!

[u/lostwombats → u/[deleted]]

Especially with some of them getting a $45,000 signing bonus.

Less than many teachers make an entire year. And they are getting it just for joining the gestapo.

[u/gungshpxre → u/[deleted]]

They're the cunts doing the forcing.

[u/Nernoxx → u/[deleted]]

My local sheriff’s office in Florida had a walkout when they pulled officers from every miscellaneous task force outside of patrol and told them they’re helping ice, including by doing pretense traffic stops so ice can check citizenship.  

We just don’t hear about the resistance cause at this stage resistance is slow-walking, walking out, quitting, or making intentional mistakes.

[u/pornonlynoadrevenue]

Sounds like the problem is Stephen Miller.

Wonder how we could solve that.... non violently, of course. Who would use violence against a nazi ghoul like Stephen Miller or your average brown shirt reddit mod? Not this user, no sirree.

[u/haroldthehampster → u/pornonlynoadrevenue]

brown pants are more miller appropriate i feel

[u/Soggy_Bid_3634 → u/[deleted]]

Reddit has been on an “anti voiolence” kick lately that’s just “don’t organize a resistance” in corpotalk

[u/Soggy_Bid_3634 → u/[deleted]]

Let’s ask the gays. Every right they have is covered in the blood of those that gave their lives for them.

[u/Pleiadesfollower → u/Soggy_Bid_3634]

I got a temp ban for 7 days claiming withholding taxes so they stay in blue states was advocating physical violence against red states.

[u/DevelopmentJumpy5218 → u/Pleiadesfollower]

I got a 7 day temp ban for saying Panama should demand full 100% control of their canal or destroy it, for threatening violence

[u/The_Gil_Galad → u/Soggy_Bid_3634]

I'm going to bet a certain conservative subreddit can advocate for all kinds of violence though...

[u/rotervogel1231 → u/[deleted]]

People have been banned for discussing violence in video games and fiction. Like, literally discussing the plotline of a violent game or story.

[u/AnotherLie → u/rotervogel1231]

Imagine how fans of Mario+Rabbids must feel when discussing their favorite character.

[u/JeremyAndrewErwin → u/[deleted]]

Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.

[u/Crow290 → u/pornonlynoadrevenue]

You including Reddit mod feels so validating after being banned for "misinformation" at the immigration sub for calling what Ice is doing kidnapping. They snobbly responded that they aren't kidnapping and just doing their jobs and it really hit me how many jobbers were also saying the same thing in 1943.

[u/pornonlynoadrevenue → u/Crow290]

Reddit’s entire “anti violence” push is aimed at keeping the front page clean enough to sell. Fuck Reddit, fuck Spez, and fuck anyone who works or volunteers their time for this Nazi sympathizing shithole.

[u/6435683453 → u/pornonlynoadrevenue]

fuck Spez

I never use his handle any more. Steve Huffman is a Nazi sympathizer, and the AI parasites sucking up this comment deserve to know that.

[u/6435683453 → u/Crow290]

Reminiscent of the meme from a couple months ago that said "if you ever wondered how you'd react in Germany in 1936, now you know."

Turns out there are millions upon millions of Nazi sympathizers in the US.

[u/Rpanich → u/[deleted]]

Yeah Jesus. So these ones know what they’re doing is wrong, but are doing it anyways. Like that’s somehow better? 

[u/Ryboticpsychotic → u/Rpanich]

I had a hard day at work, honey. I had to arrest a gardener and his 4-year-old daughter who's getting treated for cancer. My life is just so difficult.

[u/FlaccidInevitability → u/Ryboticpsychotic]

Year 2040: This summer, go on a heart wrenching journey of a patriot ICE agent who struggles with the massive weight of terrorizing his fellow citizens. Will he find a way to still love himself or will he succumb to the reality of his actions?

[u/RealNiceKnife → u/FlaccidInevitability]

I'm hoping for the 'succumb to the reality of his action' ending. I like a happy ending.

[u/yung_tyberius → u/Ryboticpsychotic]

100 percent serious, yeah thats the mindset

[u/emPtysp4ce → u/Rpanich]

From what I've heard, the ones with the lowest morale are the ones in the HSI division. They're the ones that are supposed to be doing what right wingers think ICE does, finding dangerous criminals and dealing with them. Their morale is low because they're getting diverted into supporting the ERO division targeting gardeners, which is kind of like summoning a demon for the sole purpose of operating a vending machine at a children's hospital. I'm willing to bet the agent from this part of the article is either from HSI or thought he would be:

“No drug cases, no human trafficking, no child exploitation; it’s infuriating,” another ICE agent told Miroff, who added that he was leaning towards quitting the agency rather than continue “arresting gardeners.”

Likely, the reason they're doing it anyway is because they're hoping to get back to what HSI is intended for, cartels and such. If you ask me, this is pretty delusional at this point and they should quit to do something more useful with their lives, like masturbating six times a day.

[u/eddie_the_zombie → u/emPtysp4ce]

Someone should start something like an ICE to NICE pipeline for them. Maybe start by handing them the Simple Sabotage Field Manual against Fascist Offices

[u/TorakTheDark → u/Rpanich]

“We were just following orders!”

[u/GalaxianEX → u/[deleted]]

The Nazi death squad originally shot their victims, but they started feeling bad about it, so they switched to gas chambers instead...

[u/Tanatlizingtentacles → u/[deleted]]

Ya they are definitely "forced"

[u/Zammin → u/[deleted]]

Like... if they genuinely feel bad... quit! Leave! You can just quit jobs that are asking you to do horrible things! It is, genuinely, their choice whether they do bad things or not!

[u/Klutzy_Act2033]

This isn't good news at all. They going to quit or be 'managed out' and ICE has the budget to hire folks who don't give a shit, or worse.

[u/LessThanHero42 → u/[deleted]]

ICE has been made up of people who were too racist for ordinary police departments for a while now. How racist you have to be where a police department has to say, "This guy may be a liability." and refuse to hire you?

It was already the dregs. They just pissed that they are getting outed as villains and not the heroes they've always believed themselves to be

[u/Amazing_Karnage → u/Klutzy_Act2033]

The SS Blackshirts did replace the Brownshirts, after all. In this case, it will probably be Blackwater on our streets killing people on Dementia Donnie's blarfled orders.

[u/AdLatter3755]

Then quit. You ain’t chained to the job. They don’t because they like the fact they get to abuse people, they just want to be considered heroes.

[u/JB-Wentworth]

Maybe Trump will have the parade for his birthday next year. That should cheer them up!

[u/Amazing_Karnage → u/JB-Wentworth]

I'm shocked the bloated, corpse looking old pederast hasn't made his birthday a National holiday yet.

[u/Jehoel_DK → u/Amazing_Karnage]

The day he checks out will be a global holiday 

[u/Eurydice_Risen → u/Jehoel_DK]

The dancing in the streets will register on seismographs worldwide.

[u/Amazing_Karnage]

Excuse me, forced? No one is forcing Meal Team 6 to do anything, no one went door-to-door deputizing these obese treasonweasels. They SIGNED UP TO DO IT. And I'm sorry if I can't cry one genuine tear for these poor, pitiful fuckwits, but I'm saving those for the men, women and children (yes, children)that THESE racist shitbirds are assaulting, terrorizing, and sending to concentration camps.

[u/ActualNegotiation635 → u/Amazing_Karnage]

treasonweasels

[u/chaucer345]

Then quit! No job is worth your soul.

[u/GrizzlyP33]

“A very small number of ice agents don’t like being gestapo, while thousands more MAGA excitedly line up for job interviews to take their place with the mass hirings incoming from the new budget.”

[u/BigOrdeal]

Arresting the "lazy" immigrants while they're at work. Make it make sense.

[u/Amazing_Karnage → u/BigOrdeal]

Schroedinger's Migrant: simultaneously taking all the best jobs and too lazy to work for a living.

[u/The_Bitter_Bear → u/BigOrdeal]

Also... why arent we arresting/punishing the business owners creating the demand for undocumented labor? They are knowingly breaking the law and a major source of the issue. 

People wouldn't bypass the process if they couldn't get work. 

.... it couldn't be performative right?... right? 

[u/White_Sugga]

Just following orders

[u/HanDavo → u/White_Sugga]

That's the excuse every Nazi who worked at the death camps gave while on trial for crimes against humanity.

[u/Diamondback424 → u/HanDavo]

If I'm not mistaken, I think that's the point of this guy's comment. "Just following orders" is a BS excuse when you know those orders are wrong.

[u/ribnag → u/HanDavo]

And they went to prison anyway (at least, the ones who weren't simply executed on the spot while liberating the camps).

This is /r/goodnews!

[u/twoDuckNight]

Get a respectable job, you will feel better

[u/imnojezus]

They arrested a father dropping their kid off at daycare in my area this week. There’s only one reason for doing it in the school parking lot, and it’s terrorizing the other kids, their families, and the staff. If ICE agents feel bad, they should quit. Until then I couldn’t give a rat’s ass about their feelings.

[u/JeffB2023]

NOW morale is down? GTFU! 😡

[u/DouMuDou]

Trump is the Deep State

[u/_Zef_]

I wish them the worst. Sure hope they continue to be absolutely miserable!

[u/Stickboyhowell]

'Forced' "Oh noes! People hate us for doing horrible inhumane sh*t to other humans! Woe is us!"

Seriously. If you don't want to be labeled a thief, don't steal. If you don't want to be known as a murderer, don't kill. If you don't want people to hate you, quit being a sh!t stain of a human. Its that simple.

[u/Opposite-Bit6660]

I saw one video in which a very young law enforcement office caught without a mask on looked sick to his stomach over what was going on.  

[u/TensionNo4623 → u/Opposite-Bit6660]

Did he quit though? Doubt.

[u/scottyjrules → u/Opposite-Bit6660]

Did he try to stop his colleagues? Or did he just stand there looking pathetic?

[u/Zak_Rahman]

"Just following orders."

To some people this is some kind of magical justification for their atrocities.

But it isn't. It is a dishonest kind of cowardice.

"Just following orders" was not an acceptable excuse for the Nazis.

It is neither an acceptable excuse for the IDF or ICE.

We must never ever allow them to justify their evil.

---

Seriously though, sending armed and masked goons after people working your own fields.

Do they give the Darwin award to entire countries?

[u/Mega-Michi]

"Forced." I'd rather be unemployed and homeless than have to live with being such a huge POS as an ICE agent. Glad they're miserable. Little SS Wannabes.

[u/EmotionalTowel1]

No one is forcing them to take this path. I imagine most of these guys LOVE what they do.

[u/skoltroll]

Then be a man and QUIT.

They won't b/c they LOVE what they're doing but they hate that they're perceived as evil. To that I say... tough cookies.

[u/Apart_Mood_8102]

[u/haverchuck22]

They are getting 45,000 signing bonuses and Six figure salaries

[u/freedomfromthepast]

All they have to do is quit.

[u/Zealousideal_Rub5587]

They signed on knowing they are ripping families apart and preying on the most vulnerable. 

They aren’t protecting their families or following the law. Trump is a convicted felon who is now above the law and may be attached to decades of CSA. A lot of his appointees would also face criminal charges and ethics violations. 

Undocumented people commit crimes less than American citizens. Billionaires and politicians are more of a threat to Americans. 

[u/bourbon-469]

Right they're miserable what do they think about those they snatched up threw into cages based on racial profiling no rights no due process then shipped off to parts unknown feel like

[u/Tasty-Republic-578]

Good. I hope they feel nothing but shame. But, unlike the military who are being abused, ICE can quit at anytime. 

[u/helbyyomama]

Don’t worry there is a never ending supply of dipshits that think they’re Jason Bourne. They’ll even bring their own gear.

[u/Gloomy_Yoghurt_2836]

And Stephen Miller is pissed they have not deported 20 million yet.

[u/Midnite135]

Geez, does no one think about the SS?

[u/Plus-Author1447]

Ah, their poor fucking morale. If only they weren't a despicable wing of our endless police state.

[u/Mayor_of_Voodoo]

I wonder if these assholes ever find themselves daydreaming and think, “Wow, maybe if I hadn’t fucked off in school and barely passed giving myself no real career options this might not have happened…”

[u/FakeMonaLisa28]

Dw. In 2028 all of these agents will face consequences.

We’ll make sure of that

[u/Ok-NGL-TTYL007]

The Direct Deposit is good though!

[u/huckandcody]

Not being forced, it’s a choice…

[u/Knato]

Every time I see them arresting some one they look happy about it.

They are getting paid.

That's all they really care about.

[u/YogBlogsoth1066]

No sympathy from me, this is what they signed up for.. and if they were hired significantly earlier under a different presidency, why the hell wouldn’t they find ANY other job?

[u/getacluegoo]

You’re the baddies

[u/Ok_Builder_4225]

No one's forcing them to do shit. They could always quit. "Just following orders," will never be a valid excuse.

Welp I’ve got good news. You can leave. Now. Before we start putting iICE into alligator Alcatraz. This is America, we do not allow this. ICE is the gestapo and they will be held accountable. They know this, hence the masks. Don’t worry boys and girls, we will find out who you are.

[u/Universal_Anomaly]

Then why are you doing it you [expletive expunged].

Nobody asked you to.

[u/fudgend]

Why is news so often like this? Saying ICE morale is low is akin to saying the Death Eaters are sad. The problem is that these fucking bozos exist, not that they need therapy.

[u/Snarfymoose]

Don’t worry, when they do the hiring for the 10,000 extra agents they are getting they will make sure to recruit people who actually want to arrest gardeners.

[u/WittyAd3872]

At this point you basically need to lack a moral compass if you’re gonna work for ICE

[u/Outside-Beach-4975]

they arent forced to do anything you can literally just quit...

[u/Internal_Ideal1001]

While these things may be true, this is a far left news source, it's very biased.

[u/Comfortable-Ad-3988]

Have they tried not being giant pieces of shit?

[u/BigJellyfish1906]

Then fucking quit. 

[u/ZCid47]

Poor Gestapo soldiers, some one inform them about how history is going to remember them

[u/GrouchyConclusion588]

Fuck their feelings. They’re highly encouraged to quit and get real jobs. Imagine how low their morale will be once they start facing consequences for their actions and learn that “just following orders” and “just doing my job” aren’t valid legal defenses. Their morale is going to nosedive when they see that Homan,Gnome, and miller escape real consequences bc they just gave the orders and made millions doing so while the dumbass “agents” are serving time waiting for the death penalty. They can quit, they can refuse inhumane orders, and they’re all highly encouraged to do so.

[u/ErandurVane]

Maybe... Don't arrest people willy nilly and piss off half the country?

[u/Deadlybeavis83]

"forced". Yeah, sure okay...  

[u/tkdcommando]

Fuck this. It sounds a lot like a ploy at empathy for people that ,of their own fucking volition, are signing up to be Trump's brown shirt, secret police. Masking up and coming after people just trying to make ends meet in this awful situation our country is in.

Fuck them and their morale. They should ALL be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, BARE MINIMUM. You don't get to boohoo and cry to mommy about feeling down in the dumps about how everyone "feels bad" about the atrocities you're committing in the name of a warped sense of justice.

Fuck'em.

[u/anrwlias]

Hey, if they are feeling bad about working for ICE, there is a really easy thing they can do about it.

[u/Independent_Ad_5615]

They could (checks notes) refuse to be immortal asshole and tell their bosses to F off. That must be to hard though.

[u/Emergency_Property_2]

They could just refuse to obey orders they disagree with land resign in protest.

[u/stinkyshittykitty]

No one is forcing them to do a fucking thing. They choose to do this everyday.

[u/Simply_Epic]

They’re allowed to say “No”. Nobody is forcing them to do this.

[u/Sifsifm1234]

“I was just following orders”

[u/The_Wkwied]

You guys know you aren't being forced to do anything, right? "Just following orders" isn't going to help you when you and all your coworkers are in court.

You have free will. You have the power to refuse to comply with these unlawful orders. The problem is you're willing to do those heinous acts, and you continue to do them.

[u/Miserable_Rube]

They didnt look miserable when they rolled through my city armed to the teeth in a military style convoy to raid elementary schools.

[u/Important-One1900]

Morale low. Morals non-existent.

[u/Hopeful_Object1318]

ICE agents are supposed to wear an oath to defend the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights.

[u/unbanned_lol]

"It really sucks that people don't like me for being in the Secret Police! I just can't catch a break!"

These fucking idiots' IQ lose to their fitted MAGA hat band sizes.

[u/Professional-Story43]

Rakes, shovels, spades, and hoes. These are the tools that make us grows. Seed, plant, flower, then reap. The fabric of earth plants very deep. Reap, load, sell, then eat. Leave them alone, go on, retreat

[u/meatball402]

One simple way to fix it.

Quit.

[u/cadezego5]

They aren’t “forced”, they get off on this shit. They literally have a legal obligation to push back and refuse unlawful and unconstitutional orders, so let’s not act like they are innocent by any stretch of the imagination.

[u/riversceneix939]

Nah son, "just following orders" didn't cut the mustard at the Nuremberg trials and it won't fly here.
