But do we know if this is a messaging shift or a policy shift?

All right.

We're going to take a quick break and we'll have more in a moment.

And we're back.

In addition to efforts to curb illegal immigration, the Trump administration has also been making it harder to legally immigrate to the United States.

Ximena, you spent some time going to naturalization ceremonies where immigrants officially become United States citizens.

What have you heard from the people hitting this milestone?

And I suppose that's not an unreasonable concern given what we've been seeing.

Right.

President Trump has certainly been touting the idea of denaturalization.

Harsh rhetoric towards immigrants has been a key part of President Trump's messaging going back a very long time.

One person who recently has been getting a lot of his ire is Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

He mentioned her just yesterday in his speech in Iowa.

Then last night she faced an attack.

Somebody came up to her at a town hall meeting while she was speaking and sprayed her from a syringe with with a substance that that smelled very bad in the room.

It was this alarming moment.

The person was tackled and he was arrested on possible assault charges.

Domenico, I just I wonder if you could speak to the political environment that that is this stew that is that is brewing here.

And we should say that we are still learning about the suspect.

We don't have a lot of details about precisely what was going on there at that town hall meeting.
