ordinary people got caught up in the hype before 1939 (when the policy changed from deporting them to exterminating them) because these ordinary bigots, bullies, and ignorants believed the lies. By the time it was apparent to many of them, they were part of it.

Many ICE people were probably the same. Those who worked in the office probably never closely intermixed with immigrants and to agents, they were just "deportees" to process, not human beings looking for a better or saver life like the ancestors of the agents.

Suddenly, DONkey and his minions decided immigrants weren't human and gave quotas and a free hand to agents no matter what the law. They all know what's going on, even those doing clerical work. But unlike their Nazi compatriots, the don't face anything worse than loss of their jobs. Yet they continue to suppress their ethics, morals, humanity and principles (or what little they had) without any further risk to themselves or their families.

In any case, I agree with you 100%.
