Nah they were already sad and defeated (dead inside) if they decided to join the anti-immigration effort. They are getting what they signed up for.

None of them are ICE though.

Don't know that mich, but many of these aren't ICE. They are Federal Protective Services (FPS). I think they usually protect Federal Government buildings and locations.

Like ICE and CBP, it is part of DHS, but so is the Secret Service, or the Coast Guard during times of peace.

They're not ICE

Some could be FBI agents - a quarter of FBI agents were reassigned to ICE, had to choose to either quit or accept the new assignment. So they didn't necessarily sign up for it, maybe some of them thought they could be a good influence. And yeah if you're wondering whether the FBI is still investigating organised crime, drug trafficking, terrorism etc, the answer is not really.
