And let me tell you something, the toughest guy you want to be, when you sit down, you get on your knees, you talk to this little girl and everything innocent, pure, has been ripped from her. Where you can tell that she has no faith in humanity. I mean, this little girl's world was destroyed. She's never going to be the same. I don't care how much counseling she gets, right?

And I'm a father, and you think, you know, how could someone do that to such an innocent little girl? And it really changes who you are. I mean, it's just like, you know, I can't believe there's a human being out there that would do that to a little girl. The members of cartels are animals. They don't care about these people. These people are a commodity. And there's been several instances where

You know, women and children that I've been involved with through an investigation who are sexist ultimately cartels us, you know, demanded as part of crossing them or either across the desert or over the river or just take it, just rape them for the hell of it. I mean, I've seen rape trees, you know, where these smugglers would just hang panties up in a tree as a trophy.

And a nine-year-old girl shook me. Because then you realize just how inhumane these people are. The thing that probably shaped me the most so back in, I think it's 2003, I was in Dallas, Texas, giving a speech to the International Association of Chiefs of Police. We just became ICE less than a year earlier. They took customs and immigration made ICE.

So I was there to explain this new agency and how we can work together and collaborate. I remember getting an emergency phone call from Washington, D.C. John Morton, who was the director at the time, but it was actually his deputy, Adultery called me, and says, hey, you're in Dallas. You need to get down to Victoria, Texas right away.

There's a tragedy down there, and we want you to go down there and take over the investigation. Because they knew, at the time I was assigned to headquarters, they knew I spent most of my career, as I said, in enemy smuggling and trafficking cases. So they flew me down there in an Air Marine plane, and I landed down at the crime scene.

When I got there, the sheriff, and I think it was a Texas Ranger, walked me through the crime scene, and said, okay, it's yours. So I remember walking up to the, there's a tractor trailer, and there's 19 people baked to death in back of that tractor trailer. 19 people? Baked to death, died. Baked? Baked. He just... They're in a steel box, tractor trailer.

Steel box, black, no air, in the middle of summer. And so I get up at the crime scene. I walk up to the crime scene right away. There's just a trailer there. The truck's gone. He unhooked it and he left, the driver. So I walk up to the crime scene. And all I have is a suit. I'm wearing a suit because I was giving a speech. I left. I didn't get back to the hotel and get my stuff.
