So we should stand by the president, stand behind ICE, stand behind Border Patrol, but we should not isolate Homeland Security and allow it to be a political punching bag by the left.
What the Democrats are doing?
Oh, right.
So, yeah, I mean, I don't believe so.
You know, look, I haven't seen any polling in the last two days other than the kind of fly-by-night polling.
You've got to get legitimate polling.
I think the American people want us to continue to do the job.
Now, look, they wanted us to do it the right way.
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.
