So you know right now we're in session in Olympia and I always tell our folks here in Washington when Olympia is in session just hold your hats on because it's going to get rough.

And so right now they've got a bill.

It actually didn't make it out of

Committee luckily yet, but doesn't mean it's dead forever, which is HB 2641.

And it was proposed by Representative Simmons.

But the one thing that's interesting I would like to tell viewers with this bill is that Tara Simmons is a former felon who actually presented the bill.

And so you've got a felon who is presenting the bill to keep

ICE agents.

And the reason why she said is, well, if this is a judge of character on the ICE agents in this moment, if they're wanting to work in law enforcement right now and they're a current ICE agent and not

Doing this and they should not be allowed to be in law enforcement.

And I just think it was comical that it's coming from her.

And and this isn't the first bill that old Tara Simmons has put forward.

There's other bills as well that are actually, you know, when I said stuff doesn't die in Olympia.

Last year, there was a Senate Bill 5068 that we thought we had killed, but it was actually allowing visa cardholders to be law enforcement.

So allowing local sheriff's departments, municipalities, and state patrol to actually hire folks that are carrying visas to be law enforcement.

So not only are we –
