A senior ICE official is warning that the unrealistic expectations set by the Trump administration are burning out the workforce and leading to fatal shootings.

The defensive remarks come after at least two men were killed by ICE agents in less than a week, leading to renewed backlash against immigration enforcement officers. Within the last week, 52-year-old Mexican homebuilder Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed in Houston, and 26-year-old Colombian man Joan Sebastian Guerrero was fatally shot through his windshield in Biddeford, Maine.

The killings occurred just days after President Donald Trump demanded that at least 2,000 immigration detentions be recorded daily, leading ICE agents to arrest more than 10,000 people within the span of just five days, according to The Daily Beast and The New York Times.

    Don’t mistake this for some sign of empathy…it’s not. They are going to use these incidents to ask for more funding…not to slow down Trump’s agenda.
