The federal law enforcement officers who are there are there at the direction of the elected president of the United States.

And President Trump legitimately won the election in 2024.

Anybody who's claiming that he didn't?

Is ridiculous.

And again, that's the second part of Ben's question is, is what Homan would say to the people who voted for this.

They voted for mass deportations.

The president was extremely clear about this when he campaigned over the course.

I mean, I spoke to him multiple times.

I know you did, Steve.

I know that he talked about this in every single rally speech, in the debates, in every forum that he had.

He talked about immigration and the need to deport criminal illegal aliens and broader mass deportations.

It was extremely abundantly clear that that's what the American people were voting on.

It was the number one issue right alongside the economy in the 2024 election.

And President Trump won all seven swing states in a landslide election in the national popular vote

and even more so than 2016, assembled a new political coalition of working class voters that included young black men and Hispanic voters who were also very clear that they knew that this is what they were voting for.

So this is, again, the people that are engaged in subversive actions against the United States on this front are essentially engaged in an insurrection.

So how the president handles this

is going to define a big part of his presidency, right?

So what he's decided to do, clearly, is dispatch Tom Homan there to see if they can take the temperature down and get cooperation from state and local officials.

We'll see what happens, right?
