[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are your thoughts son the anti-ice protests?[/quote]

...thoughts *on the anti-ICE protests? (apologies for typo)[/quote]

I’m not a fan of the protests. The vast majority of the agents “are just doing what they are being ordered to do” and are likely not a fan of it. [/quote]

You don’t get to hide behind “just following orders”.  Sorry. Not sorry. [/quote]

I don’t necessarily agree with their strategy or tactics, but their mission (rounding up illegal aliens) is legal.  At this point, every non-political appointee working in the federal govt “is just following orders.”  Therefore, everyone should resign?

Of course, some jobs are being asked to be ICE and some are being asked to process social security claims, so they are not all the same.

I’m a Fed whose resignation date is 8/1 for moral and ethical reasons though.

And yes, maybe more Nazis should have quit. [/quote]
If you do high and morally mighty, why wait to resign. Put your money where your mouth is and resign effective immediately. [/quote]

I’m resigning because Trump policy changes put me in the position of not being able to help vulnerable people I serve.  But I can at least not cut and run, and take the necessary time to leave them in the best place possible. We got DOGE’D and these are heartbreaking, impossible situations. And I will continue to help the population I serve in a different way, for a different employer. But walking away from the people I serve without taking the time wind down their cases or transition them hurts them more.

Is it so impossible to believe some feds are actually mission driven.  And I’ll have the same mission. Just a different employer.  I will not screw over vulnerable people even more than the policy changes are screwing them over on my way out the door. [/quote]
