And they lost before the Supreme Court in December.

That was actually a somewhat surprisingly enlightened decision where the Supreme Court concluded that Donald Trump does not have the power to federalize the National Guard.

which is what forced him to remove National Guard troops under his direction in places like California, Illinois, and Oregon without the cooperation of those governors who told him to get lost.

So that power has been removed from him.

And now we're working on this ICE issue, which is sort of Custer's last stand in terms of them trying to manipulate the situation.

And it's one of the reasons why we find ourselves in this shutdown showdown.

because we know we got to get ICE under control.

Focus on immigration enforcement that should be fair, just, and humane instead of brutalizing and violently targeting American citizens and law-abiding immigrant families.

And now they're moving on to trying to steal the election.

Just like we stopped them, Don, with their gerrymandering.

We're going to stop them here.

We're going to we're going to ensure that that is a.

straight up violation of the law that can be enforced across the board.

Now here's the key.

Elections right now are administered by states and localities.

That's what they're trying to change because Donald Trump knows he does not have the ability to override governors, secretaries of state, attorney generals, or state supreme courts.

That's his problem right here.

And that's why he's threatening to try to nationalize it, but he's got no vehicle

to be able to do it.

Now he wants to unleash these ICE agents to try to intimidate folks, which is why we've said amongst our many different ironclad line in the sand demands, which include independent criminal investigations when ICE agents break the law, judicial warrants need to be required before ICE agents storm homes or private property.
