    Oh hell yeah. And I’d add this:

    The truth is that they are counting on getting a signing bonus in five years from a man who famously never pays his bills and probably won’t even be alive then, working for a woman who they think has their back but who doxxed Jonathan Ross within two hours of committing murder for her. Within a year they will wish with all their might they’d never even heard of ICE, and there will never be a moment for the rest of their lives when it does not hang over their heads.

    And if they really want truth, they should go talk to some retired cops, and talk about how the passage of time eats away at the excuses while magnifying the bare facts of one’s own actions, to the point that a disproportionate number of them eat their guns. So whichever way they look, the forecast is shit in every direction. It doesn’t pay to be a murderous fucking ghoul.

      And cops are well respected compared to ICE agents, in every way. I’d say about 70% of the US hates ICE agents, whereas about 50% truly like and respect cops. But, even among the die-hard MAGA Republicans who want ICE to snatch people off the street and beat up the non-whites, they still don’t respect them. They’re thugs who are working for their own side.
