They're put on to make an artificial quota that they first were sent to go after hardcore criminals, and now they're kind of being pushed to just grab anybody. So, for example, In Arizona, they have a quota of 75 people per day. The frustration, I think, is also in the fact that there isn't really any coordination of need. So, for example, they're bringing investigators off ATF, DEA and HSI, who are actually going after real criminals, both U.S. citizens and non U.S. citizens. (32:32–32:36)
