In his press conference recently, Tom Oman said they've apprehended 4,000 people they were looking for in Minneapolis, for the greater Minneapolis area.
That's a huge success, and I think that that's attributable to all of the operations that have gone on there.
But I think the fact that this has dropped off of the popular radar...
in large part has to do with the fact that, you know, the borders are knows what works, knows what doesn't, knows what he wants to get accomplished and got it done.
Yeah, no.
And I think that a lot of this has to do with messaging.
A lot of it has to do with
a media that largely became complacent with the non-enforcement of the Biden administration.
And then a lot of it, Mike, which is why I'm grateful to be here with you today, has to do with the fact that most people really don't understand how it's supposed to work or even what they're seeing.
Now, when you see ICE officers pull over a vehicle, they're not pulling over the vehicle because there's some big bumper sticker on it that says that, you know, I'm an illegal alien.
And they're not doing it based on racial characteristics.
They're doing it because they're looking for the person who is in that vehicle.
They know the license plate they're looking for.
They more or less can use the intelligence to find those people.
They're identifying them.
But when those images get posted in the popular media, and this happened actually very early in Washington, D.C., right by the Washington Monument under the Trump to administration, a local reporter happened to be there, pulled out a cell phone and suggested that, you know, ICE was just grabbing random people.
from, you know, right by the Washington Monument.
Of course, that's ridiculous.
That's not what they were doing.
They were looking for that person who turned out to have a child molestation charge against him.
