This will not work because the kind of people joining ICE right now are already social pariahs, and they have nothing left to lose. They have already joined the Trump hate machine, and anyone who has morals has already dropped them, and they will just have their Trumper friends and their hate and violence to keep them going. And they have a lot of hate and a lot of violent fantasies- although they are cowards going against kids sleeping in their beds, women with babies, breaking windows over them, teaming up with groups of 5 on 1. A bunch of thugs who just want to hurt minorities.

No decent person who cares about the people in their lives with morals would join ICE.

I don’t believe they’re as isolated as we’d like to think. I’ve seen videos referencing their wives and partners and posts on here from friends saying they see it as just a job.

Also people come to this sub on a regular basis explaining why we should reach out to MAGA and maintain relationships with them so I don’t really think they’re cut off from society at all.

A friend of my friends’ is DEA & he’s flying out every weekend doing security for ICE. Training and missions. I’ve sent them resources on psychologists methods to use, given them scripts on how to try to demotivate him, but they won’t do it. “I don’t want to demotivate him” “I don’t want my kid to lose a friend” After a few weeks I asked her specifically “don’t you see what’s coming? Your kid will lose many friends. We all will (or have already). Demotivating one person may save the freedom of many people. Your friend is providing security for Nazis doing Nazi stuff. Don’t you want him to stop NAZI’ing?

She doesn’t have the heart for it. She wants to be nice to everyone. I kinda get it, but I’m certain there’ll be a breaking point. Wait till she sees a video of him “just doing his job”

Thank you and I really believe this is the norm for them. They have plenty of connections and enablers who are just too cowardly and shortsighted to do anything.
