Deborah Fleischaker, a former political appointee at the Department of Homeland Security under the Biden administration, reflects on her experiences and the impacts of the Trump administration's changes to immigration guidelines. Having dedicated nearly a decade to the DHS, Fleischaker laments the vilification of federal workers and is saddened by alterations to the policies she once championed. She highlights her efforts in civil rights within the DHS and conveys a sense of loss over the shift in the immigration landscape since her departure.
Since leaving my job, I've been following updates on immigration policies in the news. It's been hard to watch changes being made, including to guidelines I was particularly proud to work on.
I'm also disheartened to see how - in my view - government employees are being vilified right now.
