"Just following orders"... we've heard that before.

It's pretty hard (impossible) to make the deportation quotas as required legally.

Unless you can figure out someway to remove the quotas CBP is going to continue to falsify evidence so that they can make their quotas.

There's a similar issue with many police departments where they function as revenue generating so officers have quotas for traffic tickets they have to write and the same effect occurs (but just monetarily fine not deportations).

This is more than “just following orders”, this is “intentionally jumping in line to follow fascist orders”.

Why aren’t these good people quitting if they are just following orders they don’t agree with. There was ignorance about this kind of thing that was an excuse to follow orders back in 1930s but that excuse is no longer a “whoopsie get out of jail free” card.

If you know someone participating don’t let them pretend we all agree they’re “just protecting their country”. They’re not.

Actually, more than that. They are proud to be cleaning up the society from "scum" (to the point of that "Superman" joining the ICE recently). It is a very desirable and comfortable mental state - to be a part of such a governmental violent all-the-power that can do no wrong (it is as close to feeling god-/super-power as it is possible at all in this physical reality). In Russia it is known as "Oprichnina" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oprichnina, kind of a fascism long before fascism existed. There is a novel imagining Oprichnina in the modern days Russia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Oprichnik (has English translation) - when it was written 20 years ago people were "That is an overblown imagination" and today - "Wow, how did the author guess that right", yet if one looks back 20 years ago the things were already sliding along that slippery slop. And in US it is kind of similar story - starting with Gitmo 20 years ago - though much less pronounced, and it will take some time before the state will start nabbing in that way actual upstanding citizens)

The mental gymnastics to think that way and accept the current administration “selected group” must be something of olympic level.

		We’ve seen it to many times already- a bit of blatant populist propaganda appealing to the lizard brain of the populace easily removes the need for the mental gymnastics.
