My goal with the support of President Trump is to achieve a complete drawdown and end this surge as soon as we can.

But that is largely contingent upon the end of the illegal and threatening activities against ICE and its federal partners that we're seeing in the community.

Nothing's ever perfect.

Anything can be improved on.

And what we've been working on is making this operation safer, more efficient by the book.

Target enforcement operations the way we've always done it.

I think we've got to wait for a little bit, and we're going to make sure we do target enforcement operations.

And look, I will say it again, you know, we are not surrendering our mission at all.

No agency organization is perfect.

President Trump and I, along with others in the administration, have recognized that certain improvements could and should be made.

That's exactly what I'm doing here.

If you want certain laws reformed, then take it up with Congress.

Again, ISIS is making this up.

They're enforcing laws enacted by Congress and signed by a president.

The same laws have been on the books.

for the last six presidents I worked for.

This is common sense cooperation that allows us to draw down

on the number of people we have here.

Yes, I said it.

Draw down the number of people here.
