As Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents embark on countless deportation raids in an effort to meet the White House’s daily arrest quota of 3,000, many officers are becoming completely demoralized, several agents told Nick Miroff with The Atlantic.
“Some ICE staff had already jumped ship over Trump’s mass deportation policy, including 33-year-old Adam Boyd, a form(er) sic. ICE attorney who left the agency in June. Boyd told Miroff he ultimately made a “moral decision” in deciding to leave the agency.”
I’m torn. On the one hand, “Good!”. OTOH this means it leaves the ones WITHOUT morals are still there and working.
Feeling this so much in my own job!
His claim he left due to his morals is laughable; in order to become a cop or work in that system, one cannot have morals to begin with. There are no moral cops.
He’s a lawyer
Lawyers, cops, the firm that delivers apples to the camps, all are part of this nazi machine of horseshit.
The terrifying thing about this kind of problem is that they do have morals, but they’ve been warped. They’re surrounded by systems that tell them that what they do is good, necessary, or at least morally justified. That warp their judgement and morals, protecting and encouraging their part in heinous acts. All the while their moral judgements see themselves as the good guys, and that’s the worst part.
If somebody sees a conflict between their personal morals, and the actions of themselves the system around them, good on them for refusing to participate anymore.
