While my comment was mostly snark, the main point is that unlike a dog, these folks have agency in their decisions and approach to situations. Is the underlying management strategy of DHS/ICE wrong? Absolutely, but you don’t get to “I’m just following orders” your way through this as an ICE agent.
You can hate multiple things at once. I hate the individual agents and the administration. You cannot have a machine of oppression without both components; thus they are both worthy of hate.
“Just following orders” is not a valid defense for heinous acts. These people are evil. They are not only following inhumane orders, but going further. They’re not ordered to murder or rape people in custody but they do, because they want to. They’re grown ups making their own decisions. And those decisions are evil.
They are not mindless beasts. They know what they’re doing. They have no empathy. No respect for human life. They chose their paths. I’ll celebrate when that path leads to their demise.

Comparing ICE agents to dogs isn’t helping your argument here…
