Boo fucking hoo, assholes. This bullshit on the part of ICE agents has been going on since day 1, when the first armed, masked thugs jumped out of unmarked cars and grabbed students off the street for writing editorials Trump didn't like. They knew what they were signing up for because they knew who was running the show, and what they would expect.

So your fee fees are hurt? The solution is easy. Stop being assholes. Quit.

Oh, that's right...but you THOUGHT you were doing the right thing...you were going after "bad guys". You know, the ones that are picking our crops, or looking for extra work on Sunday at Home Depot, or working in pre-schools, which is exactly where the bad guys hang out. Besides, you won't get the big signing bonus, right? This is Donald Trump you're dealing with here. You were never going to get it.
