I mean, Glenn, you and I and most of your listeners are civil libertarians, right?
We don't want an authoritarian government just running around arresting random people.
But that's not what's happening here.
ICE and Border Patrol are trying to zero in and focus on removing bad actors.
By the way, Glenn, 1.5 million people in the United States are under orders of removal from a judge.
Like, people act like this is just made-up stuff.
We have massive numbers of people under orders of removal.
We have dangerous individuals affiliated with gangs.
We have robbers, rapists, sodomists, people that they've been pulling off the streets.
And the reason there's difficulty, the reason that ICE and Border Patrol are having more issues is because of people like Governor Walz and the mayor of Minneapolis who are continuing even today to tweet out that they have no intent of having their local law enforcement work
to remove illegal aliens.
Like literally the Minneapolis mayor said that today, which is very clearly unhelpful and not working with the feds to do the job, which is making it harder on them.
And we have a duty to enforce the law.
I think the American people are with us on that.
We just stay the course.
No, that's exactly right.
And those arrested, those arrested, you've got to go through the entirety and say, look, it's a cultural thing.
If the governor of Minnesota and the mayor of Minneapolis simply said, we will cooperate.
With federal law enforcement, we will share those people that are in jail, that have been convicted, that have been arrested.
And we will share that information to identify the people that must be removed under our laws, including those under court order to be removed.
