U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on Monday accused an Oregon mayor of violating the Constitution after emboldening “Abolish ICE” protesters by ordering the police to stand down and openly expressing support for their cause. "When the mayor gave the order that police would not support ICE employees trapped in the facility, he turned the lives of our employees over to an angry mob." The city mayor’s support for the movement led to the occupation of a building being used by ICE, harassment of some ICE employees, and the creation of a camp on a city’s land. [Mayor Wheeler] was irresponsible.” - ICE Agent“When it comes to basic police protection that should transcend politics,” another ICE employee said about the veteran’s experience, blaming the city’s mayor. “For now, a handful of ICE officers and staff are taking this mayor and city on all by ourselves,” he told the Times.
