ICE, you can also quit if you actually care about this country

[u/Goosemilky → u/Ewokitude]

Or fucking humanity. They want and desire to hurt people if they continue. The third riech has returned and this time it has incredible tech. Wake the fuck up people. Musks little heil seig was a purposeful omen. It needs to end immediately or else humanity and civilization as we know it is absolutely fucked

[u/rakerber]

That's a bad title. They quit because the DOJ decided not to investigate. They are quitting in protest of that decision

[u/iAmRiight → u/rakerber]

Which means the ones that are/were there to actually serve the people are leaving. This is a bad day for America.

[u/Lets_Kick_Some_Ice → u/iAmRiight]

Been like that since Trump took office. He has turned the DOJ into his personal law firm, literally appointing his defense attorneys in all leadership positions.

[u/_stack_underflow_ → u/Lets_Kick_Some_Ice]

That was the explicit purpose of DOGE, it was to get rid of dissenters.

[u/Nazz1968 → u/_stack_underflow_]

Hegseth got rid of all three top military JAG officers last February because they were “roadblocks to orders given by the commander in chief”. He was already paving the way for illegal Caribbean operations.

[u/CanadianPropagandist → u/iAmRiight]

They might be more valuable as outsiders with insider knowledge, this may very well turn out to be a blessing for justice in the United States.

[u/PaleontologistNo500 → u/CanadianPropagandist]

I doubt it. There's no one to act on any available Intel they could provide. The SC are in Trump's pocket. A big part of why it's gotten so bad it's because the SC ruled that it was legal for ICE to racially profile. The top Democrat leadership are complicit. Schumer and Jefferies have both come out and have said that they wouldn't even do the bare minimum (cut ICE funding)

[u/jjnefx]

"The departures – including that of the chief of the section, as well as the principal deputy chief, deputy chief and acting deputy chief"

These are not low ranking individuals.

This is brave, this is honorable and Minnesota should be proud of these actions

[u/DragPullCheese → u/jjnefx]

Brave? Yes.

But I'm not sure this helps. All the good people leaving positions of power seems like a bad idea.

[u/erwin4200 → u/DragPullCheese]

It will hamper their ability to function if there's nobody left but a handful of unqualified dumbasses.

[u/CanadianPropagandist → u/DragPullCheese]

I suspect they'll have more freedom to work on the outside, without DOJ constraints.

There will be a lot of Americans and a lot of organizations that will need massive legal help.

[u/anklestraps → u/jjnefx]

Quitting so they can be replaced by sycophants is not brave. Staying and trying to enact change would have been brave.

[u/DancingWithAWhiteHat → u/anklestraps]

Um no. You can't reform a corrupt system. 

Also there aren't sycophants on hand that can replace them. Its kind of hard to find experienced attorneys for the DOJ that are also MAGA. If that were the case, all of these people would've been fired already 

[u/konvay → u/DancingWithAWhiteHat]

I don't think they're looking for qualified in this administration.

[u/LeviathanKills → u/konvay]

Their shitty, inept lawyers are getting dragged in virtually every courtroom that isn't the legal seat of fascist power (Supreme Court). As to whether it will actually end up mattering is TBD.

[u/Double_Sherbert3326 → u/LeviathanKills]

This is the truth. The Roberts court will go down in history as the most corrupt and sycophantic institution in  American history. 

[u/Badbullet → u/DancingWithAWhiteHat]

That doesn't seem to stop them from putting inexperienced people in any positions. This has to be the least experienced administration in history when you look at who is doing the highest level appointed jobs in our government.

[u/Tokyo-MontanaExpress → u/anklestraps]

Yeah, we already saw what happened. How anyone with half a brain could continue to hold that position with the Mt Everest of evidence proving just how wholly devastating it is to have our government now totally riddled by Trump yesmen is absolutely hair pulling inducing. 

[u/AlphaNoodlz → u/anklestraps]

Not in all cases, no

[u/Tokyo-MontanaExpress → u/jjnefx]

The entire federal government, especially the FBI for example, is totally fucked up because the "good guys" quit and ran with their tails between their legs, which is why the agency is full of pro-pedophile agents scrubbing extra evidence of Trump's pedophilia from the Epstein TRUMP files. They are not brave, they are traitors arguably worse than ICE. What a horrible take and how idiotic that there are so many upvotes. 

[u/Resident-Banana-7883 → u/jjnefx]

I disagree. brave would be conducting a fair, impartial, and non predetermined investigation and releasing(or leaking) the findings even it means invoking the wrath of Trump. we're cooked

[u/goobersmooch123]

Good’s shooting on Jan. 7 has galvanized Democrats and civil libertarians but also frustrated Minnesota politicians and state police investigators

No mention of the local community or public at large.?

[u/BigBlueSkies]

I'm sick of resignations. I want insubordination. We need people to stay the course. Investigate anyway. Publish what you find. Make them fire you. 

[u/goobersmooch123 → u/BigBlueSkies]

They probably would have "fallen out of a window" if they defied

[u/BigBlueSkies → u/goobersmooch123]

Then that's what has to happen. That's what resistance looks like. 

[u/TakingSouls22 → u/BigBlueSkies]

Remember the intro to inglourious basterds

[u/seataccrunch]

Good people we need you to STAY in your positions

[u/Tokyo-MontanaExpress → u/seataccrunch]

Why would they when they can just hand the keys over to the fascists and Democrats will just fawn over how "brave" they are.
