Deborah Fleischaker worked for the Department of Homeland Security and ICE under President Biden.
Fleischaker witnessed the Trump administration make changes to immigration guidelines she worked on.
She said she's feels that federal workers are being vilified and finds it sad to watch.
This as-told-to essay is based on a transcribed conversation with 52-year-old Deborah Fleischaker, from Washington, D.C. The following has been edited for length and clarity.
On election night, I knew I was out of a job.
I'd been working for the Department of Homeland Security as a political appointee under the Biden administration. I was hopeful about staying in my position under a Harris administration, but when Trump was elected, there was no question I was going to be leaving in January.
Political appointees serve at the direction of the president, and I didn't think President Donald Trump would ask me to stay on, or that I would stay on if asked.
I've always appreciated working for the underdog. I took my first job at the DHS in 2011. It was a departure from my background in nonprofits — I enjoyed trying to support both the system and the people in it......
The Trump administration has rescinded a policy I was particularly proud of
I'm particularly proud of the guardrails around enforcement I worked on at ICE, such as the sensitive locations policy. It made me sad to see it reversed in the first week of the Trump administration.
I feel that previous administrations were able to enforce immigration laws with the policy in place. I don't think making people scared to go to the local police, hospitals, or schools is good for communities. Since the guidelines were rescinded, there have been reports of school attendance dropping among immigrant communities.

Somebody should tell Charissa that Biden wasn't president.
Someone else was giving the orders.
MSN and Business Insider are Globalist Liberal outlets
Yup.
“”I took my first job at the DHS in 2011. It was a departure from my background in nonprofits “”
Federal workers are not being vilified.
“ I’ve always appreciated working for the underdog. I took my first job at the DHS in 2011. It was a departure from my background in nonprofits — I enjoyed trying to support both the system and the people in it......”
Another college girl grifter who has loved her life in so called non-profits and government. All people like her are is a drag on the mission. Just another parasite goes to an office, has coffee, goes to meetings, and makes pronouncements about protecting illegal aliens from ice.
“On election night, I knew I was out of a job.”
Why, because your make-work “job” that was never necessary or productive is soon to be exposed?
“Even I”?
BI=BS.

Another east coast grifter. After leaving libtard colleges, she gets a USAID paycheck until they bring her into DHS. The entire time she’s worked against America and has torn the place down.
I hope sugar britches goes bankrupt and has to work at Starbucks.
Somebody call the Waaaahmbulance.
IF THEY WERE HIDING IN HER OWN HOME, WOULD SHE BE SUPPORTIVE OF THEIR RESIDENCY???
She wanted one big Welcome Center for New Democrat voters and welfare recipients.
They have managed to do that to themselves with their own arrogance and contempt for the people they claim to work for.
feel?
