A very well written portrait of how horrifyingly "well intentioned" evil can be.

The article reads like Lolita. Alexander is the unreliable narrator that is convinced he isn't the bad guy. He regrets the deportations and acknowledges that the ICE program is in Ingram because of him, but he isn't the bad guy. He was fired as a deputy for having an affair and using Sheriff resources to facilitate it, but he isn't a bad guy. The investigator called him a disgrace before throwing him our of the Sheriff's department, but he isn't a bad guy. Sure.

"For context, I’ve deported like six of their family members, and they’re still friendly to me,” he says. “So I’m not the monster they make me out to be.”

I can't even with the despicableness of this guy (the cop).

That's why I compared it to reading Lolita. Wholly detached from reality.
