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.

They have overwhelmingly bent the knee on every issue other than, I'd say, Jeffrey Epstein, where you did see some broad bipartisan bucking of the White House for a short time.

It's not...

You know, everybody's moved on to Greenland right now, but at least for that moment, Congress came together and held the president accountable on something as fundamental as ICE or who we are as a nation, how we enforce our borders, this kind of thing Congress ought to be weighing in on.

And those Republicans in Congress have gelded or castrated themselves as a body and just chosen not to really engage in any meaningful accountability.

No, I don't think it should be abolished because every,

Every entity around the country has some interior enforcement mechanism, Denmark, even countries that we would want to emulate or some in America would want to emulate.

I think ICE needs tremendous oversight.

It needs new leadership at all levels, new guidance and all of the above.

You know, it does not have to be like this.

We can enforce our laws.

We can enforce our borders.

We can enforce our immigration policies, but it does not have to be like this.
