So I want to know why the federal government put more money into these ICE raids but have hurt local law enforcement. Because they've eliminated millions and millions of dollars from localities for their law enforcement efforts. Department of Homeland Security cut $87 million for counterterrorism work in New York. $87 million cut from counterterrorism work in the state of New York. So they could bolster up the ICE agents, buy them more masks, I presume so that's bomb squads, tactical teams and K9 teams. (23:30–23:36)
