So you start with the people who are in jail already and you ask the states for the records so you can go and get them and throw them out. voice-verified

Low hanging fruit. voice-verified

You go after people who have work visas or who are here with some documentation, TPS status. voice-verified

And you go after them because you can track them down. voice-verified

Then it becomes a little harder, and you can't just use the vehicle stops. voice-verified

You can, I guess, but it's going to backfire. voice-verified

But then you start looking for different ways to nab them. voice-verified

And so one story in particular stood out to me, like literally yesterday, and I guess it stood out to me because it's my home state, Connecticut, but Senator Chris Murphy tweeted that there were ICE arrests happening, parents at school bus stops. voice-verified

So like that seems both sick and cruel and awful and inhumane. voice-verified

But to your point, it's like if you are trying just simply to get numbers and you know you've got to find people. voice-verified

And you can't just knock on the door and enter. voice-verified

Like you start looking for places like bus stops at school districts that have a lot of immigrant kids. voice-verified

And it's awful. voice-verified

I mean, what they're doing is a collective trauma. voice-verified
