When you watch these heartbreaking videos showing the cruel and thuggish behavior of ICE agents, remember that these people are not being FORCED to commit these acts — they do so willingly. They could quit their jobs at any time. They could say “enough!”
ICE agents CHOOSE to do what they do.
As a general statement, saying people can *just quit* smacks of privilege; getting another job is not always an easy thing to do.
They do have a choice in terms of how they conduct themselves though. The assumption that they are acting this way willingly is accurate.
Doing the honorable thing smacks of privilege??Trumps gotten to you.
Quitting a job on principle is not something that anyone can just do - many people live paycheck to paycheck.
If you are able to just stop getting paid because you choose to do the honourable thing then you are in a privileged position.
This has nothing to do with politics... or presidents.
I wouldn’t work for ICE because I have morals.
Good for you. Be thankful that you are in a position to make that choice.
