That's absolutely true.

Between federal, state, and local authorities.

We're just going to continue on.

It's going to be a flow of conversation, as things often are.

But the next question has to do with that collaboration between federal and local authorities.

Yeah.

In many cases, of course, as in Chicago, the governor of Illinois, Pritzker, has said, well, they're not even communicating with us.

But there's still the question, should local authorities be cooperating with the feds, even when they're committing to a mission they don't like?

Okay.

But let's talk about that.

There's two sides to the cooperation.

I mean, there's a federal government informing the locals what they're doing.

But the other question is, should local governments be assisting immigration authorities in finding people who are in the country illegally?

Should they, for example, be allowing access to jails where people who may have an immigration record are also in jail on charge?

Yeah, but there's one specific question I have here.

Alejandro Mayorkas, who you know very well, who served in the Obama administration, was Secretary of Homeland Security under President Biden, has said the same thing that Tom Homan, who works for President Trump, has said.

Essentially, we would like to be able to go into jails locally and bring out people who have a criminal record and also have an immigration problem.

And not every city will allow that.

Should that be allowed?

No.
