Federal immigration agents say they are now afraid for their own safety as anger over the killing of Renee Nicole Good spills onto the streets, with some describing morale inside ICE as 'miserable' and their jobs as 'mission impossible'. Former officers warn that the current climate feels like a powder keg, with small acts of hostility risking escalation into real violence.

Their fears are rising just as public calls to dismantle ICE are growing louder. More than 1,000 protests erupted nationwide within 48 hours of Good's death on 7 January, turning the agency into a catalyst in America's larger fight over immigration, policing, and political power.
