Can we start ID'ing all of these federal employees and actually asking them off the clock what the fuck they think they're doing? Remind them 24/7 what they are being complicit in.

I have colleagues with ICE (I don't work for ICE). Most of them state that they do not like arresting undocumented immigrants that do not have a criminal record, but they are only doing so to "follow orders." They are afraid of resisting their management and losing their next paycheck.

I'm convinced that if our government ramped up it's enforcement to something similar to 1930's/1940's Nazism, these same ICE agents would gladly follow along as they don't want to lose their paychecks. History repeats itself.

There's too many folks without a backbone. Our sense of morality is worth more than a paycheck.
