A senior ICE official is warning that the unrealistic expectations set by the Trump administration are burning out the workforce and leading to fatal shootings.

The defensive remarks come after at least two men were killed by ICE agents in less than a week, leading to renewed backlash against immigration enforcement officers. Within the last week, 52-year-old Mexican homebuilder Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed in Houston, and 26-year-old Colombian man Joan Sebastian Guerrero was fatally shot through his windshield in Biddeford, Maine.

The killings occurred just days after President Donald Trump demanded that at least 2,000 immigration detentions be recorded daily, leading ICE agents to arrest more than 10,000 people within the span of just five days, according to The Daily Beast and The New York Times.

Don't mistake this for some sign of empathy...it's not. They are going to use these incidents to ask for more funding...not to slow down Trump's agenda.

    The "look what you made me do" defense. Classic.

    They can always quit and get a respectable job instead.

    Yeah, if they can explain the mysterious gap in their resume.

    If I ever saw a resume come across my desk with ICE or DOGE in their employment history, and I can't imagine I ever would, that resume is going right in the bin. Forever. I still refuse to get gas at Exxon stations over the Valdez and BP over Deepwater Horizon(and I know it doesn't hurt the companies, but get their name off of your shit or go fuck yourself), so don't think I'm forgiving and forgetting in twenty years...

    If there was any justice in the world the entire Trump administration would live the rest of their short lives in one of the concentration camps they set up.

    Eighty percent of the office has to be in the field. Made them work on July 4th.
