LINK ICE Employee Quits: 'Had To Make a Moral Decision' - Newsweek

Agovernment attorney resigned over what he called a shift in Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) mission from safeguarding the nation to chasing deportation numbers.

Adam Boyd, a 33-year-old attorney, quit the ICE legal department last month, The Atlantic reported.

"We still need good attorneys at ICE. There are drug traffickers and national-security threats and human-rights violators in our country who need to be dealt with. But we are now focusing on numbers over all else," Boyd told the outlet.

Imagine for a moment an 8 year old girl at Christian Camp with her friends. Raging flood waters tear through the camp and carry her and her camp mates away. It happens so quickly. The surge of water pushes her under and then, before she drowns, the surge of water pushes her upward, she gasps for air, enough to survive. She is so terrified that she doesn't realize her legs are broken. She smashes into fallen trees and is caught in the branches as the surge of water and debris continues to crush her body. She clings to life on the branches watching her friends, some still alive but many more dead, being swept away by the cold water. She continues to hold on for the first day, no help comes. She thinks about the scriptures that her mom and dad told her about how God would save her and how the angels would protect her. The angels don't help, God doesn't help. She continues to hold on for the second day, no help comes. She continues to hold on for the third day, no help comes. Before she gives up from exhaustion and drowns her last thoughts are that her mom and dad had lied to her. She didn't know these Bible verses that her mom and dad had chose to ignore:
(John 5:43; 1 John 2:18 (Dictators/Antichrists = Anti-compassionate); 1 Timothy 6:10; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12; John 8:44).

She didn't think about the fact that her mom and dad voted for Trump, an adjudicated rapist, convicted felon, liar, racist, accused pedophile, climate change denier, and fascist. She never knew Trump was playing golf and that Kristi Noem was trying to get people to vote for the "best" portrait of herself riding a horse. Or that Kristi Noem would have to sign off on any aid funds over $100,000 delaying any help. She never knew this as she died.

She didn't know that help would never come for her or for others in the future after Trump eliminates FEMA.

Now apply this similar scenario to school shootings and deportations to El Salvador prisons.

This is why I can't read, listen or watch stuff on WWII German treatment of Jews. The imagined terror.
But Noem does not care, she shot a helpless puppy for christ's sake and then what was it a goat? anyway just animal that bothered her. She'd do it to a human in a NY minute if she could get away with it.

This system is designed as their loyalty test. One fucking person said I can't do this.

Most have not figured out the system we have is designed to do exactly what we see happening. trump and his supporters knew the solution. It was in the bipartisan Bill that was ready to go to the floor for a vote. A vote that was sure to pass. ONE call, just one fucking call from trump to that fucking weasel mike johnson and the bill was dead.

It really was not about giving Biden a win. Or following the damn law. It was about the cruelty and chaos that would ensue and continue at the southern border without the Bill. Continue to force people to break the law to get away from hunger, persecution, abuse, or just to work and then return to their family. As to immigrants and refugees the U.S. is responsible for a large number of these people needing to immigrant or have become refugees in the first damn place!
Billions to build a wall (Mexico ain't paying for it)
Billions to hire and arm his (the GOP) personal army. These people have never signed onto the Posse Comitatus Act.

"The Posse Comitatus Act bars federal troops from participating in civilian law enforcement except when expressly authorized by law. This 147-year-old law embodies an American tradition that sees military interference in civilian affairs as a threat to both democracy and personal liberty. However, recent events have revealed dangerous gaps in the law’s coverage that Congress must address."
Ya know they ain't cause the GOP led Congress has it playing out exactly as they want.

It is exactly like the flooding in Texass.

Well, it is just my opinion, I could be wrong.

You are correct.

Finally someone with a conscience!

Damned few of those working for Trump...

@Lizard_of_Ahaz More importantly. no one with morals let millions cross our border illegally.

@Alienbeing Haven't figured it out yet have you? They have designed the system exactly to operate like this.
Our history has always been one of presenting what is possible but the welcoming committee never gives those that want to come a way to do it. Limiting the numbers is fine but if the welcoming committee gives NO way to get in what do you think will happen?
EXACTly what has happened.
Bullshit on the legal way - it too is designed to thwart immigrants. NO we can not except all who wish to immigrate, never did I say we should or could.

Anaolgy (s)
Tiny funnel large quanity = overflow with no where to go
A flash flood = small river bed with stuff built too close to dry river flood zone
3,000 mile border with too few legal entry points, not enough courts or judges and representatives to handle the numbers of people seeking ayslum. OH! we can track a damn cow hw can we not help migrants that just want to come work and then return to their home? We USE to do it and it worked fine.

The U.S. has always depended on the cheap labor of migrants. The U.S. is primarily responsible for the number of people needing (I did not say wanting) to immigrate or needing refuge. We limit those numbers.
What is required is exactly what was in the Bill that republicans wanted but the man you think is such a genius had canceled. ONE call, all it took was ONe call by candidate trump to Mike Johnson and the Bill NEVER got to the floor for the vote that both Dems and repubs wanted. It literally solved most of the issues with all 3 groups - migrants, immigrants and refugees.

Cruelity is the point. National debasing of the brown and black people is the point. If it walks like a duck . . . .

@Alienbeing You mean the guy who blocked the bi-partisan border bill?... That was Trump....

@silverotter11 I can't wait until stupid starts paying ever inflating grocery prices and has his healthcare taken away while the neighboring hospitals near him are closing because they can no longer afford to stay open...

@Alienbeing

@silverotter11 Illegal is illegal, no additinal comments necessary.

@Lizard_of_Ahaz The Bill was extreamly faulty, which is irrelevant to the fact that illegal is illegal.

@Lizard_of_Ahaz Unlike you (who is a proven wimp) after going to war, I came back and worked. Accordingly, I can easily afford healthcare and anythig else I need.

@Alienbeing Until the price of health insurance skyrockets in a vain attempt to keep hospital emergency rooms open.... and in red states hospitals open... Idiots like you have no idea when economics is much less how it works...

@Alienbeing You say "illegal is illegal" and yet every illegal act Trump does is fine with you..... Most people call that hypocrisy and racism but people like you should call it what it really is...making America into a third world toilet...

@Alienbeing Ignoring Supreme Court orders. Violating emmuluments, refusing to rent to Black people and getting getting caught and finded for discrimination, adjudicated rapist, etc. more serious than mere misdemeanors.
Being in the U.S. illegally, a misdemeanor. All crimes and yet not a word about a man who has done far worse than 90% of the migrants, visa over stayers, immigrants. Refugees - we have signed a commit with other countries to accept a certain number and trumps violates it - a crime.
We all have a bias.

@silverotter11 You forgot his fraudulent "Trump university" and charities he used to line his pockets as well as 30+ FELONY convictions as well as possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.... not to mention his "wife" being in the country illegally....
