I’m not American so it’s kinda legitimate question.
Are there any good people working for ICE? Or is being an abusive racist cunt part of the requirement?
(I guess there are probably nice normal peoples working there but they are probably too afraid to stand up)
Edit: Wow, I didn’t meant to start such a heated debate. It’s just that from an EU perspective, you have tons of law enforcement from county to federal level, plus the military. But it’s always ICE that you can see doing the awful shit to other human beings. You don’t hear about ATF detaining a kid while showing him rape video of his mother (it did not happen, yet), it has to be ICE, it’s always ICE. Hence the question, what’s the difference between ICE employees and ATF/FBI/local PD/whatever employees?
There are no good people in ICE. It doesn't matter how they present themselves outside of work, they're all Fascist class traitors willingly upholding and legitimizing a Fascist regime, detaining and deporting citizens and immigrants alike ILLEGALLY, and filling the role of the Gestapo from Fascist Germany. Being abusive, racist, and a bastard probably isn't mandatory for the role, but it's the overwhelming majority of people who work there.
Do not pity or feel sorry for them, they'd kill you if they could get away with it.
I thought people were bitching about federal workers resigning in protest instead of staying and trying to slow the damage.
There's without a doubt good people working for ICE, because the whole department isn't just enforcers.
No. There are no good people working for ICE. They are hand picked to be racist and cruel.
Hand picked from a self-selected pool of the racist and cruel.
So the mailroom clerk was handpicked to be racist and cruel? I'm sure the custodial staff and maintenance crew were handpicked to be racist and cruel too, right?
ICE has "direct hire authority". This means they can fill positions without any justification of their hiring process or that the competitive hiring process was used. This is NOT how the government is supposed to operate. The mail room clerks are all going to be family and friends of existing ICE employees. The cleaning staff will be from a 3rd party.
ICE is all hand picked and hand groomed evil, a new Nazi SS in its infancy.
Lol, the mods buy into your bullshit, I guess.
This is the thread for Facebook pitchforks, the thread for reason is that way --->
A bad apple spoils the bunch.
We tend to leave the spoiling part out of the metaphor for some reason...
