What was really interesting to me is that Rich Tao tested two what you could call democratic responses to this.

The first one was abolish ICE.

Nobody liked that.

I don't think the Democratic Party is adopting abolish ICE as a position, but that is something that you've heard from some Democrats.

Here's what some of these voters had to say about abolishing ICE.

We're going to hear from Ernie and Scott.

They're both independent voters.

But when he tested the list of reforms that Democrats in Congress are trying to push right now, like...

getting a warrant before you go into someone's house, verifying citizenship before you arrest someone, doing an investigation if someone is shot or killed, wearing body cameras.

All of those reforms, those restraints on ICE were very, very popular.

And what I thought was interesting, what that tells me is that we are now in February.

If Donald Trump wants to

He can correct this.

He has a lot of time before the midterms to change the way that ICE is going about deporting people.

That's something that I think voters are open-minded to.

I think it's a top issue right now.

If it goes away, just like the border is now secure, if ICE disappears, we know that the National Guard is being removed from cities.

We know he's backed off from tariffs.

In other words, if he changes his approach, I think this will not become top of mind in November.

And again, this is something that Trump can control.
