Immigration Agents: We Can’t Wear Bulletproof Vests Because They’re Offensive To Illegal Aliens

It’s easy to talk about cleaning up a system. Actually doing it is a whole other story.

When leftists crawl into a position, they quickly build networks with others of their kind. Before too long everything is rotted through with leftists in positions of authority. Then they begin embedding leftist ideas everywhere. And people who don’t even share their politics accept them and pass them along.

Before you know it, an organization becomes deeply tainted.

The country’s immigration enforcement officers launched a website Tuesday demanding that President Trump do more to clean up their agency, saying he has left the Obama team in place and it’s stymying his goal of enforcing laws on the books.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement supervisors in Philadelphia banned officers from wearing bulletproof vests during an operation in the dangerous “badlands” section in the city’s north for fear of offending the immigrant community, according to a new website, JICReport.com.

Meanwhile, officers in one Utah city are required to give city officials seven days’ heads-up before arresting anyone — and by the time they go to make the arrest, the immigrants they are targeting have taken off, the website says.

Compiled by the National ICE Council, which represents ICE officers, the website is part whistleblower and part primal scream for Mr. Trump to pay attention to a group of people who were among his staunchest backers during the presidential campaign.

“ICE Officers grudgingly admit that the only President they ever endorsed hasn’t kept his word, and many officers now feel betrayed,” the officers say on the website.

It’s the same old Obama holdover problem. The underlying problem is that a serious housecleaning never happened. It never happened because the only people likely to undertake such a thing would be radical reformers. And there aren’t many of those in the government now.

“Our own supervisors would rather see the bodies of their own dead officers full of bullet holes than offend an illegal alien,” said Officer Gabriel Cimino, president of the local union chapter. “This is the absolute madness that our officers in the field are dealing with every day. Will an officer have to die before President Trump helps us restore order to this agency?”
