Damn not that miserable if they still showing up for kidnapping the next day
Then quit, you fucking Nazi cunts. You’re lucky there isn’t someone going around, carving swastikas into your foreheads.
- Why quit when you can seppuku? That should be the goal here.
  We should be chanting "Death to ICE" Just like that "death to the IDF" guy.
- Wouldn’t surprise me if these people couldn’t land jobs as run-of-the-mill police officers, much less mall cops. That, and they probably enjoy the anguish they inflict on others.
  
  Have you seen the standard for cops? It's almost as low as priests. Screw up somewhere, just get yourself shuffled to another place if things haven't blown over by the time your paid leave is up.
Good, they’re traitorous cockroaches and I’m probably insulting cockroaches with the comparison
- Most house infestations of cockroaches are German cockroaches.
  The native American cockroach prefers to live outside or in naturally damp areas like basements and around pipes. They also don't smell nearly as bad.
  I don't really know what this information is good for or has to do with this but I took the time to type this comment for some reason.
  
  Hey, the metaphor is beautiful. I dig it
  
  Alas, the German Cockroaches have infested America.
  We're also infested with Drumpfs/Trumps, and now King Trump has built an American Gestapo
Consequences can be a motherfucker sometimes
Some ICE attorneys “are only waiting until their student loans are forgiven, and then they’re leaving,” he said.
Imagine working for the gestapo for loan forgiveness. Banality of evil
- Wait. I thought all those student loan forgiveness programs had been torpedoed by Trump.
  Or are they waiting for some super-wonderful forgiveness for ICE employees only that Trump plans to bribe them with? I hate to break it to them but if they’re waiting for this then Trump will very likely rescind it the moment you tender your resignations.
Good
ICE workers deserve to be miserable.
Most spoke on the condition of anonymity, for fear of losing their job or being subjected to a polygraph exam.
Why? Why is holding on to this job important if everything about it sucks? Management, moral, targets, inhumane methods, feeling forced to hide your identity, being dispiced by the public, etc. etc. Noting positive mentioned in the article. Why not quit? You're not the pope, it's not a job for life!
Not miserable enough if they haven't started removing themselves from the gene pool.
It’s only a shame that more of those POS humans don’t sleep so un-soundly.
They're perfectly capable of doing their job in a humane and legal way, they're choosing not to do so. Would they get fired? Maybe, but that's when you have grounds for a lawsuit or a story to sell the press.
