We did, you know, these are large operations nationally, etc.

So there were immigrants picked up who didn't have serious convictions and what have you.

But

The focus was on those priorities.

The training was different.

In the training, we focused on the notion of priorities.

We focused on constitutional rights, civil rights.

We focused on the way to de-escalate and to deal with protest situations.

And as I understand it, the current training has a reduced emphasis on all of those things.

Yeah, I disagree.

Immigration enforcement is an important parcel of our national sovereignty, and it's important for a number of reasons.

But because it's tough, because people are divided, and because all immigrants in this country who are illegal are not the same, it requires judgment, discretion, and professionalism.

And unfortunately...

We have not seen that recently in the operations that are being conducted.

Yes, I have a real concern about prolonged shutdown of DHS.

Now, because Congress gave ICE and CBP all this money in the big, beautiful bill, they're going to continue their operations.

The shutdown is not really going to affect them.

But

The vast majority of DHS, over 90% of the employees, will still have to work during a shutdown.

The Secret Service still has to work.
