So I support Leader Jeffries.
Now, I understand the frustration.
It should be on all of us.
As it relates to what you said, though, Jennifer, as it relates to ICE and to meeting the moment on these officers, there's always going to be federal law enforcement in this country.
There's always going to be federal law enforcement.
ICE has to be abolished as an agency.
But for all the other federal law enforcement that is going to remain, we cannot also allow them to continue wearing masks and wearing body cams.
I just want to address that.
I think that's an important distinction.
Yes, ICE has to be abolished, but all other federal law enforcement, particularly under the Trump regime, has to be held accountable and there needs to be better laws and rules in place.
More broadly, I join you in being angered at us.
Congress has not, in many cases, met this moment.
We haven't been prepared.
I think Congress as a whole underestimated Trump and what he's doing to this country.
But I also hope that there, and I know there are
fighters in this Congress.
There are fighters in this Congress every single day that are pushing back and doing everything that we can to push back against Trump and the regime, and the fact that he wants to stay in power.
We should be crystal clear that this man wants to stay in power.
And the reason why he wants to have this military police force well-armed is because we should expect that he's going to deploy some of these folks even during election time.
So all of this is a serious moment, and we've got to unify the caucus and move forward.
