It's such an interesting question because I think there's a really good chance that the next 100 days doesn't look very much like the first 100 days at all. I think we're at an inflection point where a lot of things are in flux and we don't really know what comes next.

It's clear that, you know, this is what Trump and others see as sort of the centerpiece of his presidency. He believes it's his best issue in the eyes of American voters. And they really do think that it's a winning issue for them. You know, playing the videos of these people who've been deported to that prison in El Salvador and really –

Obviously, I think the administration would take issue with that assessment. Aaron pointed to what a lot of people see as a red line, which is a defiance of a court ruling, particularly a Supreme Court ruling.
