"Abolish ICE" and "defund the police" were the compromise positions. Trials and gallows need to be on the table from here. We can't accept princes and pretender-kings back into shuffle of potential leaders. We can't allow them to come back for the levers of power again later. They've hurt so many.

One easy way to get your morale up if you’re a depressed ICE officer is quit. Fucking quit.
reichlinmelnick.bsky.social's user avatarAaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social ⋅ 1d
Yes. I have heard this from both liberal and conservative people with sources inside the agency. It’s not just the pushback, it’s also that many officers want to believe they’re targeting the “bad guys” and this admin is telling them “screw you, grab families.” Genuinely, morale is way down.
