But that doesn't mean that there's any credibility to that.
And I think that that sort of context is really important.
Look, I think the public is smart enough to be able to separate out different departments, right, and not necessarily just lump in the FBI with ICE.
And I will tell you that, you know, I have long been a supporter of all of our law enforcement.
As you know, I host this, you know, this weekly show about law enforcement, and that includes federal law enforcement.
And it includes local law enforcement.
And that means it includes local sheriff's departments and it includes ICE.
But that also doesn't mean that we can't be critical if we think that there's been something done wrong.
And this is why I think it's very important to separate out, you know, the ICE agents who I think the vast majority of them are doing a very difficult job and doing it well.
from, I think, leadership.
It has been issuing orders, which is making it very difficult for ICE to navigate what it is they're supposed to be doing and how they're doing it.
And so I think it's very different to be, you know, critical.
And by the way, if there's individual ICE agents, and we've seen some excesses, I think those agents should be held to account in some way, shape, or form.
But on the whole...
Ice, those ice agents are in a tough spot, you know, in the public.
I mean, you know, they're kind of in a no-win situation through no fault of their own.
And I always remind people, you know, they're executing on orders.
Does that mean that all of them, every single one of them have done it well?
No.
You know, there are bad apples in all police departments, federal and local.
