"Agents Discover Freedom on Deportations Under Trump"
The Trump administrations plan to deport vast numbers of undocumented immigrants was introduced in dramatic fashion over the past month.
Much of the front-line work has fallen to thousands of ICE officers who are newly emboldened and empowered.
(snip)
Two officials in Washington said that the shift and the new enthusiasm that has come with it seems to have encouraged pro-Trump political comments and banter that struck the officials as brazen or gung-ho, like remarks about their jobs becoming fun. Those who take less of a hard line on unauthorized immigrants feel silenced, the officials said.
ICE of course was one of the few if only (?) unions that endorsed Trump for president.
