Our reporting has found that Tom Homan, the czar of this deportation effort, and Stephen Beller, the architect of Trump's immigration agenda, are meeting each morning, sometimes in their office in the White House, sometimes in the Situation Room, and are studying these numbers, deportations, detentions, trying to strategize on ways to ramp up these deportation numbers.

We've discovered what some of these proposals are. DHS has gone to the IRS and asked them to turn over addresses of hundreds of thousands of people it wants to deport. At this point, it does not seem the IRS has agreed to that request. And then also the administration is considering reinstating the practice of detaining immigrant families.

That's a tactic that came under fire because of concerns around detaining particularly immigrant children and the conditions of some of those facilities. All of these are measures not just to ramp up deportations, but in some case, create an environment that's so uncomfortable that immigrants decide to self-deport.

And it's also a sign of sort of a sense of urgency, the sense of, you know, some might even say desperation on this administration to get these numbers up.

Oh.

Oh.

And there's only so many ways that you can actually reach those cuts. And for a program like Medicaid, right, and just as a reminder, this is the government program providing health insurance for low-income Americans. Bless you for explaining that. That's now a program that could be on the chopping block here in this saga.

Right. And while you're cutting spending, the question that we have to keep asking are going to be following is also what programs get cut with that. And if you're looking at $800 billion over 10 years, there's very few ways to do that without cutting something like Medicaid, providing health insurance for lower income Americans. Many of which are supporters of the president.
