I mean, like I give you that not because it was insulting to me, but I give you that because I want you to understand like the, the, the kinds of dynamics that there are like that, that, that situation was very indicative to me of,

of just a lack of care about any accountability or transparency.

They don't feel, the Geo Group doesn't feel beholden to the American people, certainly doesn't feel beholden to Congress.

And that is because of just this dynamic between ICE and Congress

groups like GeoGroup and CoreCivic and these other companies, they're just in a world and a league of their own.

They're just operating off on their own.

And because Speaker Johnson and others are just giving them that kind of carte blanche.

So they were just in some world of their own and feel nothing.

And then when I came out from that facility,

And was alerted by my team and the people on the ground that there was now like a standoff of people outside.

So not only is there chaos inside Delaney Hall, but now I come out and emerge outside and see that there's a standoff between ICE agents.

They have a row of ICE agents that are armed.

They have an armored vehicle.

And they're just in a standoff with the protesters there.

I mean, look, my immediate concern was like, this cannot become Minnesota.

We saw what happened to Rene Good and Alex Preti.

I was terrified that we're going to see that type of violence and potentially bloodshed in the streets.

So I was trying to figure out, is there any way to be able to off-ramp this?

Is there any way we can be able to lower the temperature?

And I was talking to the head of ICE outside there, and at some point he just told me, like, look, we're going to just drive these vehicles, our vehicles out.
