Ordering DHS/ICE/CBP personnel to commit human rights violations is a betrayal

But Hitler couldn't have been Hitler without the help of thousands of low-level minions who didn't mind herding children into the gas chambers. Some people are authoritarian buttholes who are just fine with following those kinds of orders.
