IHIP News · Ex-ICE Insider Exposes Cruel Practices, It's Even Worse Than You Imagined · 24 Jan 2026 podcast

We had tremendous pressure from Congress over the actions the agency was taking and doing.

Democrats did not like when ICE would go into workplaces like a meatpacking plant or whatever and just start rounding people up.

And the policy very early on in the Obama administration shifted because of pressure from Democrats in Congress.

Congress said, we don't like what you're doing.

It's not who we are.

It's not what we're paying you to do.

And you got to stop that kind of activity.

Right.

Great.

We were Democratic appointees.

Democratic Congress held us accountable.

Congress switched in 2010 when the Republicans came in.

It was much more you're not deporting enough people.

We need to you know, we need to.

And there was a conversation about how ICE could could could better suit what the majority in Congress wanted.

But in either context,

there was at least an attempt to either defy the president or hold the president and the administration accountable.

That is gone from this Congress right now.

It is just gone.
