As Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents embark on countless deportation raids in an effort to meet the White House’s daily arrest quota of 3,000, many officers are becoming completely demoralized, several agents told Nick Miroff with The Atlantic.
The terrifying thing about this kind of problem is that they do have morals, but they’ve been warped. They’re surrounded by systems that tell them that what they do is good, necessary, or at least morally justified. That warp their judgement and morals, protecting and encouraging their part in heinous acts. All the while their moral judgements see themselves as the good guys, and that’s the worst part.
If somebody sees a conflict between their personal morals, and the actions of themselves the system around them, good on them for refusing to participate anymore.
