They want ICE to focus on the violent criminals.
And they want to know that people are working to help keep their communities safe from those violent criminals, the worst of the worst.
And that's what I say is our conversation with them is, yes, we've got to get them back to the time where we do this, where we allow the system to work, to go after and find individuals –
that are the worst of the worst, the most violent.
We also hold people accountable to following our immigration laws.
That is the traditional role of ICE and CBP.
And that's what many people want and understand.
They do not want what they're seeing playing out in front of their very eyes on TV or even in their communities.
And quite honestly, that's why they're coming out and protesting.
That's why they're using their voices.
That's why you see them out there.
And they shouldn't be killed for it.
Yes, because here's why.
You would be.
Because here's why.
At the end of the day, this is about an administration who is out of control.
And if they are not willing to even compromise or work with us on addressing what the American public sees with this ICE agency, they're not willing to come to work with us to rein them in.
There's a problem with that administration.
And the only way at the end of the day for us to get more accountability over this administration is to take control of Congress, is to win in these elections, whether it is in the House or the Senate.
We have more oversight role.
