Former NFL Star Charles Tillman Quits FBI Citing Trump Immigration Policies

Former NFL star Charles Tillman joined the FBI in 2018 with a desire to give back and pursue a full-time career in law enforcement. However, he grew uncomfortable with the FBI's role under President Donald Trump's administration, particularly regarding immigration enforcement policies. Tillman expressed that he was ordered to target individuals who were not among the most dangerous criminals, which conflicted with his conscience and personal beliefs. He stated that while many agents disliked these directives, he was in a position to walk away due to his previous career and financial stability. Tillman emphasized his desire to be on the "right side of history" and refused to follow orders that didn't align with his values. His departure highlights internal dissent within the FBI concerning immigration enforcement under the current administration.
