So to be clear, Senator, do you believe these detainees should immediately be released? Again, that's a holistic statement. What I'm saying is what the Cato Institute has said is Only about 5% of the people that they're rounding up from our streets and from our communities have committed any crimes.

And he has taken resources, our taxpayer dollars, away from the atf, away from the FBI, who are investigating serious crimes. (06:35–06:41)
