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.
