So this is a complete mess in Washington right now. ICE is running like a rogue agency. President would like to consider it his personal police force. I think in the first Trump presidency, I actually introduced the first bill ever to abolish ICE. and bluntly, it should be abolished. In fact, I never imagined how bad it could have got. As it is right now, watching them literally run roughshod over our constitutional rights as Americans, watching them not do what they said. (03:00–03:04)
