More than a dozen ICE agents call to dissolve agency
By Jacqueline Thomsen - 06/28/18 08:51 PM EDT

More than a dozen U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents have signed a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen calling to eliminate ICE and shift its work to another bureau.

At least 19 ICE investigators signed the letter to Nielsen, saying they were concerned that the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration was preventing them from carrying out the agency’s other duties.

Investigators “have been perceived as targeting undocumented aliens, instead of the transnational criminal organizations that facilitate cross border crimes impacting our communities and national security,” the letter states.

The agents who signed the letter are members of Homeland Security Investigations, a section of ICE. Agents in the division work on crimes like drug trafficking, cyber crimes and human smuggling, according to The New York Times.

Yup. These guys have only one job that anyone cares about. Keeping illegals out. Not the Yakuza smuggling jade monkeys.

Maybe we should do away with DHS.

Let's get rid of the IRS, ATF, FBI, DHS and the other assorted Alphabets BEFORE we even consider getting rid of Immigration officers.
