Threat briefings are now fixated on alleged “retaliatory” plots against ICE and Border Patrol after the deaths of Pretti and Good. “Lots of people are freaking out,” one officer told Klippenstein, saying agents are “getting seriously paranoid, afraid of being targeted by ‘retaliators,’” and talk as if “we are fighting insurgents,” turning Minneapolis into a domestic Baghdad.
What’s that Battlestar Galactica quote about the people becoming the enemy of the state?
The result, officers say, is an overstretched and physically and emotionally shattered force. Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) teams are “being squeezed heavily” to police protests rather than tracking down immigration targets. This, they say, leaves “lots of guys totally exhausted out there with a lot of pressure on them” to conduct non-immigration missions, one officer said.
Poor babies. You can always quit.
Another warned that the FBI is now “reluctant to participate” in any Minneapolis task forces.
Interesting.
One senior ICE agent summed up his reaction to Pretti’s killing in two words: “F–k this.”
what they should be afraid of is people wondering how many other bodies ice has left along the border. if that agent was confident enough to shoot a restrained man in the back while being filmed by multiple people. thats not his first.
