[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you look at yourself in the mirror everyday? I ask that as someone who is a Fed not being forced out, but is in the process of resigning because I will not sign documents that lie or misrepresent to the Coirt, as the Trump Admin says I must. So, I know something about having to ask yourself that question. [/quote]

The OP said he retired 10 years ago.[/quote]

Yeah, I was a federal law clerk for 4 years that included that time period.  DHS was put together in a reactive way by people without good motives after 9/11. It started as a problematic agency. It has become progressively more so. iCE — also a deeply problematic law enforcement agency that held itself above the law and due process— even those portions that didn’t apply to it.  Something about the switch from INS to ICE really brought out the ugliest parts of the agents. The careless, random, IDGAF due process violations even before Trump came down his elevator were very blatant. People just didn’t care because UMC Americans never interacted with them. But this isn’t some new thing. It’s. Culture that’s been there from the start (when they were violating the rights of Muslims, instead of Hispanics). [/quote]

That's an interesting insight. Every organization has its own unique culture, which tends to heavily influence how work is done. I'm curious about what kind of people apply to work at ICE these days. So many seem to be Hispanic--and yet they're going after their own people. [/quote]

The job market sucks right now and a non-supervisory special agent can earn almost $200k per year and get a take home car and can retire at any age after 25 years of service with a decent pension. [/quote]
