So what we've done during the process, because we had to onboard so many people, I have a podcast with Liberty and Justice for Some, and we had a whistleblower, former ICE employee who told us how he was a trainer there. 45% of the training [at ICE] got rid of everything around your constitutional rights. They no longer teach people. In fact, they've told people to break into homes, which is against the law in how they're doing things. Again, that's part of why ICE needs to be substantially changed.
