“Before, we used to be told, ‘You can’t arrest those people,’ and we’d be disciplined for being insubordinate if we did,” said one ICE agent, who had worked with the agency for 10 years. “Now those people are priorities again. And there are a lot of them here.”
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said Tuesday that the Trump administration’s goal was to “take the shackles off” agents.
Under the Obama administration, agents were told only to focus on deporting gang members and those with serious criminal histories.
“What part of illegal don’t people understand?” one agent commented on Obama-era policies in frustration.
“As representatives of the nation’s frontline immigration officers and agents responsible for enforcing our laws and protecting our borders, we fully support and appreciate President Trump’s swift and decisive action to keep the American people safe and allow law enforcement to do its job,” the statement read. “Morale amongst our agents and officers has increased exponentially since the signing of the orders.”
Some agents have even started describing their jobs as “fun.”

Vanilla Ice should team up with ICE to raise awareness of illegal immigration and they can call it Vanilla ICE.

I like Hispanic Americans a lot. Where I lived growing up the illegal community was impacted dramatically by local legislation (sizable minority moved states, most children taken out of public school for a time), so I think I have more experience and empathy with this than most virtue signaling retards like Matt.
But I am not going to treat anyone as if they're dumb or hateful for wanting to enforce immigration law. Especially, you know, law enforcement officials.
I don't understand why other liberals think they're entitled to shriek at or shake their heads disdainfully at people who want a secure border and an accountable system of immigration.
Giving illegal immigrants from Mexico and Latin America amnesty every generation isn't compassionate. It feeds into the cycle of political violence and economic instability in those countries by heavily incentivizing people to leave.

If you weren't allowed to do your job effectively for ten or fifteen years it would fun when you could.

Some ICE agents enjoy deporting people, I think it would be cruel to deprive them of that little bit of fun.

Mexico isn't Auschwitz. It isn't a war crime to send the lawbreakers back to their land. Hell, we ought to be taking their land as reparation for their inability to enforce their border and drug laws. The Baja would be nice.

Well, I guess that, in intention, ICE is worse. But in action, the cops are worse, because they literally murder, while ICE rapes.

Is it rape, or sexual assault with their batons?
