So just according to her own statements, there's concerns that, you know, she's sworn to uphold the Constitution and she's obviously supposed to follow state law. So She herself said she wasn't going to turn over criminals that were who were illegal over to the federal government. Well, that's part of what the law requires. And so there is some concern with me and with the legislature, with the governor, obviously, that she is sworn to uphold the constitution in state law, and she is saying she's not going to do it.
