So let me give you some background most people don't know.

Most of my career has been in law enforcement.

Quite honestly, when Homeland Security was created, I was working in the U.S.

Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C.

as a federal prosecutor.

And my husband was a Secret Service agent.

That's right.

And I continued that work, became attorney general here in the state of Nevada, did that for eight years, worked with law enforcement, with prosecutors my entire career, and understand the benefits and what we are trying to achieve when we keep our community safe around community policing.

If you're an effective law enforcement agency, you're going to get in the community and build that public trust.

That's what it's about.

You want to go after the violent criminals.

You want to hold them accountable.

But you also want to protect individuals' constitutional rights because it's about keeping your community safe.

Now comes along this administration, and they have all of this money the Republicans have given them in their tax bill.

Right, the one big beautiful bill, as he calls it, yep.

The one big beautiful bill.

Republicans give them about $170 billion altogether, and that's $75 billion going to ICE, which the normal annual budget for ICE is anywhere about $8 to $10 billion.
