NEW: Border Patrol & ICE morale is surging following Trump’s win & appointment of Tom Homan as border czar.
I reached out to a handful of contacts to gauge the temperature, and it sounds like a night & day change.
Responses below:
ICE officer: "It’s a total 180, troops are finally feeling like the sun is coming out after a very long storm. People are fired up to have support. It’s amazing because we all became so numb I don’t think we realized how bad until we finally have hope again. Everyone so happy about Homan's return."
ICE official: "I feel that people know now they will get to do the work they signed up to do. And that they want to do. They know they can get the bad guys now. Public safety threats, national security threats, gang members, here we come!"
ICE officer: “[Morale] super high. Especially with the Homan news too.”
AZ Border Patrol agent: "Ecstatic to go to work! Morale is even higher than the first time he won."
CA Border Patrol agent: "We've all been hopeful but the giveups are still trickling in. Nothing will change until Tom Homan takes the leash off us."
TX Border Patrol agent: "Oh dude people who were going to retire are not and everyone is happy."
Border Patrol union also tells FOX agent morale is surging.
Lots of excitement about Tom Homan being named Border Czar. Widely respected within Border Patrol & ICE.
Several contacts also indicated they're looking forward to no longer having to use politically correct language, for instance, "noncitizen" instead of illegal immigrant.
