But that's what's going on.
It has clearly harmed the American people.
And the ultimate accountability for that will come from the American people.
Well, part of what strikes me is how reasonable these demands are.
We're asking that people who are being sent onto American streets with powers of life and death have to go to a judge and get a warrant, show their face, be properly trained.
And I think it also speaks to something that the Democrats and Americans understand, which is, look,
We are a nation of loss.
Of course, we have a border.
Of course, we have immigration laws.
And of course, those laws have to be enforced.
But this is not that.
What ICE is doing is in no way part of any kind of reasonable, decent, or safe immigration policy and has clearly nothing to do with law and order because of the level of disorder we have created and because of the illegal actions.
It's not just that they're doing a bad job, they're hurting people, or they are doing too much in their law enforcement mission.
It is that they are breaking the law, according to a judge who is deciding just how to deal with the fact that the director of ICE appears to be defying court orders and might face contempt proceedings.
What I want people to understand is that you are not powerless.
This White House does a lot to make you feel powerless, but it is clear that people speaking up, doing things that sound kind of old-fashioned, like calling your member of Congress to account or showing up in the streets, they are changing outcomes, not just later for Election Day, but right now, the president backing down, the top commander of CBP being sidelined, Republican members of Congress starting to talk about hearings and investigations.
That didn't just happen.
That didn't just happen on its own.
And sadly, I don't think they just found a conscience all of a sudden.
It happened because political pressure works.
