tailored for this because you have an unlawful obstruction and it's making the enforcement of the immigration laws impractical.

VINCE
The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

So everything about it is warranted.

VINCE
The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

And I think there's something important to be vindicated here, which is federal law as a whole.

VINCE
The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

The president not only has a responsibility on federal immigration law, but there's a federalism principle that if he just lets a state

VINCE
The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

local activists or a political party essentially veto whatever federal laws they don't like, which is what they're doing here, then you're really, you know, he would be not, you know, living up to his responsibility and not only enforce these laws, but to send the message that local officials, activists can't just pick and choose what federal laws apply in which cities and which states.

VINCE
The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

So yeah, it's time.

VINCE
The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

I think he's been patient.

VINCE
The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

And I think if things don't turn around pretty quickly, I think it's going to happen.

VINCE
The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

Yeah, and I think they see that.

VINCE
The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

I think President Trump, one of the things that was learned from 2020 was things got out of hand and he let it turn things over and let the states do their thing.

The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

And we saw how Minneapolis was a total disaster.

VINCE
The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

And I also think your point is good.

VINCE
The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

It's like if they do it now, whatever, if there is a negative political repercussion, but then things settle down, that's going to be gone by the midterms anyway.

VINCE
The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

And you're right.

VINCE
The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

everything is always politics is always policy and that's where we get our policy from with the politics so it is important to basically you know level set here and say hey you can protest all you want you can speak out all you want but if when you get to this world of obstructing and putting people in danger and preventing the law from being enforced we're in a different world and that's time for the insurrection act

VINCE
The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

And I think, you know, J.D.

VINCE
The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

Vance is going there today, so it'll be quite interesting to see what he discusses.

VINCE
The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

But I feel like, you know, when President Trump does this, if he does it, everyone at least will look at it with the eyes of, hey, he was patient on it.

VINCE
The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

But you're right.

VINCE
The Arrests Have Begun | Episode 209

We can't wait for something bad to happen and then react.
