Jesus Christ this fucking article. Just rename yourself The Daily Bootlicker for god sake.

ICE agents are living in fear as the public turns against them in record numbers after one of their colleagues shot a mom dead in the street.

So they have no problems with the murder itself, but the public backlash in response to the murder. Got it.

Agents fear the public revulsion toward the heavy-handed approach of ICE under President Donald Trump, and the administration’s efforts to cover its own tracks as it did in the wake of Good’s shooting, is already causing problems securing criminal convictions. One former agent told the Daily Beast that he and his colleagues fear it has become more common for juries not to believe evidence they are presenting to the court.

Yeah, just ignore the blatant and documented perjury and contempt of court ICE commits every day. THIS is what gets juries to not believe you, not that.

Separately, according to a report published Monday, Border Patrol—the agency working with ICE on the ground—is struggling to find agents willing to join the administration’s “Operation Metro Surge” in Minneapolis, which was promised by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in response to last Wednesday’s deadly incident.

Oh no the American SS is having trouble finding new Nazis! How terrible!

Now, two agents who decided to leave ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in the past six months due to the changing nature of their job under Trump have told the Beast that they are terrified of the impact this is having on the force and their former colleagues.

So you didn't leave after seeing the crimes against humanity your organization commits, but now that you're potentially in danger it's time to go.

“Talking to colleagues in Minneapolis, they say it is not uncommon for people to drive past them and make gun signs with their fingers,”

Freedom of speech. Stop being a triggered snowflake.

this could eventually translate into real violence like the fatal shooting of an ICE agent in Dallas in September.

And there it is. They're afraid of someone doing to them what they do to others.

Another said: “We used to be respected and liked by the public, who understood the role we played in a functioning society and appreciated that we investigated and deported criminal illegals. That’s gone now.

You're making it seem like it was taken away and not squandered hundreds of times over.

“If this situation continues, many of us fear that when the Dems get back in, they will dissolve ICE altogether,”

Don't worry, they won't. When have the Dems ever done the right thing?

“For those of us who care about the good work ICE has done in the past three decades, that’s a very sad state of affairs.”

You're a very sad state of humanity.

As one senior Homeland Security official told Klippenstein: “There is genuine fear that indeed ICE’s heavy-handedness and the rhetoric from Washington is more creating a condition where the officers’ lives are in danger rather than the other way around.”

Damn, said the quiet part out loud, actually admitted ICE intends to threaten lives. At least one brownie point for the honesty.

But you're mentioning "ICE's heavy-handedness" like it's out of your control and you're not in charge of the ICE so I'm going to have to take away those brownie points.
