I mean, you had Tom Tillis, a senator from North Carolina, who albeit is retiring, and that seems to give people more guts to speak out.

And he had said that she should be out of a job.

Lisa Murkowski, a Republican senator from Alaska, said she wouldn't support her again.

And, you know, of course, you're having a moderate Democrat saying similar things.

So we've seen, you know, some consequences here

for some of the folks in this administration.

But ultimately, it starts with the president and the tone that he has set out for how he wants these deportations to take place.

And right now, they're feeling the political backlash.

Yeah, I thought it was notable that on this trip to Iowa, he spoke to Will Kane on Fox News, and he had some pretty tough words for Greg Bovino, who had been the face of immigration enforcement.

He called him a pretty out there kind of guy, which I think tells you a little something about how Trump saw how he was being perceived, Bovino, and that that has been hurting him politically, Trump.

Of course, he wants to pivot back to the protesters and say that they're

quote unquote, paid insurrectionists, paid agitators.

There's that.

He wants to try to make that argument.

But right now, they're behind the eight ball when it comes to the messaging on immigration.

There's far less of a discussion about the border and people and fewer, if no people, crossing the border illegally and more about these deportation tactics.

And I thought that was interesting from his speech yesterday in Iowa that there was nothing on Minnesota.

He didn't talk anything about ICE enforcement actions.

Lots on immigration though.

Trump still wants to be able to shoehorn immigration as his best issue.
