I wholeheartedly embrace the notion of a unitary executive, as in DHS, ICE, the DOJ, all a part of the executive branch.
And if there's a problem in the restaurant, I don't intend to go in the kitchen to try to figure out who makes the bread.
and all of it is part of the executive branch.
And so it is not an excuse to tell me you contacted ICE, because ICE is also part of the Unitary Executive for accountability purposes.

Lee.
The reason that I did ask, and I was told if we provided all information, the protesters would show up at the airport and the agent and other people will be in danger.
So I took it to heart, because during that time, it was very heated here in Minnesota with all the protests that was going on.
Any public thing that was going on is at risk, even myself, also at risk, for putting my name and myself in here, Your Honor.
That's the safety concern that I have.
Judge Blackwell.
Is your answer because they were concerned that if he were put on a plane, that if he arrived here, there may have been a public reaction of some kind?
Ms.

Your Honor, he was escorted with other agents.
He wasn't put on the plane by himself.
The original plan was to have agent escorted him back, and with the protests was going on during that time, I was advised to be careful of what information to put out in public for the safety of others.
Judge Blackwell.
And when the various persons are detained and then flown to El Paso or New Mexico, do you know that they are flown out of Minnesota sometimes within hours, if not the next day, of being detained?
Ms.
