Follow up, really.

And they are Congress.

They do authorize and appropriate funds for ICE.

And they should say if the funding, which is unfortunately already baked in, that's going to increase so much that they could change that, too, of course.

But even if they leave the funding that's that's that's planned, that it can't go ahead unless ICE takes off the masks, unless they don't use guns or use them in very dangerous ways.

There are all kinds of regulations for when to use guns, et cetera, et cetera, right?

I mean, you could get the – require the approval of local authorities.

Senator Murphy has, I think, a – Well, no, let's get into the Senator Murphy thing.

I mean, people – again, it was sort of your point earlier.

The agency is –

People have agency and Congress has agency.

And ICE is not an autonomous thing that just descends from the skies and shows up in cities.

And part of that is therefore Kristi Noem, Donald Trump's responsibility, totally, in my view, as well as the individual agents, obviously.

And part of it is Congress's responsibility to not let this continue.

And on the funding, I mean, just to be clear, I said this, I was having a similar conversation over the weekend.

So I said, well, but isn't that funding all baked in?

It is for now.

Congress does not have to accept a prior Congress's decision about funding and they can change it.

And if they want to make it conditional on these reforms, if they want to reduce the growth of ICE, ICE has gone from 10,000 to 22,000, I believe, officers in the last year.
