State Employee Quits Job in Order to Not Help ICE
Quote:In a series of Twitter posts last Wednesday, a now-former Montana state employee explained why he quit his job as legal secretary for the Montana Department of Labor and Industry. According to Jordon Dyrdahl-Roberts, he quit because he did not want to help U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Responding to an earlier Twitter post that read, “Seriously, f**k ICE,” Dyrdahl-Roberts said he put in his two weeks' notice because the ICE was going to subpoena them to get information to then “hunt down & deport undocumented workers”.
He says it was not easy as quitting puts his family “in a delicate financial position”.
Dyrdahl-Roberts put up a PayPal link for supporters to donate to his family. He also encouraged people to donate money to the city of Flint or Puerto Rico.
"The Department is in communication with Jordon, and it’s our understanding his decision to resign is purely based on his personal opposition to the federal administration’s rhetoric on immigration,” Jake Troyer, communications director for Montana's labor department, told The Washington Post. “Jordon’s involvement in the process of responding to subpoenas was limited to assisting attorneys with processing requests.”

They'll just find someone else to do his job.

I have respect for anyone willing to stand on their principles with that voracity even though I disagree with their stance.

Quit your phucking job instead of staying and fighting for the cause you say you believe in and then asking others to support your family? How about going to jail for the cause Dyrdahl-Roberts? How about receiving the subpoena and then telling them to shove it? That I'd respect. Asking others to support your family, no.
And what is that, your last name and your wife's maiden name? Bet you call her your life-partner instead of wife and use words like peoplekind. Am I correct? Yeah, I thought so.

I guess if he really believes in his cause that strongly.......go for it. After he's made his principled stand, he should complete it by going out and getting another job instead of begging for money to pay for his stuff....

State Employee Quits Job in Order to Not Help ICE
I respect him quitting. I’ll take that over some **** saying I don’t care about obeying the law but I want you to pay me while I thumb my nose at the law.
Only guy I ever knew with a hyphenated last name was English and he could win a bar fight and not spill his beer. Don’t think this dude is English.

We constantly ***** about spineless politicians. Then a citizen stands up for his principles and some of you dump all over him. I would suggest your attitudes are the real problem.
I applaud him. Guts.

Nobody is downing him for sticking to his principles. It's the fact he set up a fund for people to give him money cause now he doesn't have income coming in.
It's awesome to have guts, but have a back up plan.
