  • Or it’s a great psyop - it doesn’t even need anyone to try this but if it gets in front of the right eyes it’ll sow seeds of mistrust in the eyes of many ice agents anytime they see someone they don’t recognize in their ranks.

    Coming from a working class background, it’s a difficult thing to rationalize in my mind but a friend described it well by saying “Can you do their job? - No? Then you can be the buffer against the politics and BS and keep them organized and working on the right thing so they don’t have to worry about that”

    It’s a lot less fulfilling than doing practical work but I also feel like I have a lot more agency (for better or worse) than I did at lower levels.
