Peggy Flanagan: 'I think we have to rip ICE apart'

But when it comes to corruption and fraud in Washington, I think what is very clear to me is that the corruption that's coming out of this White House is what I think the US Senate needs to take on. We've got, you know, Donald Trump fired 17 inspectors general whose entire job it is to police fraud at the federal level. I would absolutely insist that those folks were reinstated. He after also pardoned 70 white collar criminals who were responsible for billions of dollars in fraud and Medicaid and Medicare. (01:44–01:57)
