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.

    Its almost like someone wants the USA population to riot and have a good reason to pull up laws that would give one figure ultimate power and the ability to call off all elections. Why would anyone want that?

      Not everything is a false flag operation.

      We cannot allow violence, human rights abuses, and the erosion of out rights & laws for fear that what is already happening might continue to happen.

      We must take action to stop these abuses. We can disagree on which actions to take, but any action against fascism is better then none.

        I am not saying it started as one, I am saying that is the reason he wants it to continue. But you are right, keep tabs and notes on these fucks. I know the US law system is very slow, I hope you have the people that will have the backbone to not only charge (no more party bullshit, change anyone and everyone on that list if actionable) and put them in cells, then go after the backers that got gifts from it, also in cells. The only thing these people who think they are better fear (as time has shown) is death or imprisonment. Take their ill gotten gains and the time away from them, use it to feed the people they love to put at the front of wars.
