It's just not believable to a lot of people, including myself. There's nothing that you would have ICE do differently in any of these cases. We've seen all of these videos, nothing. I have not seen ICE act out outside of policy. And if there are acting outside of policy, I'm not aware of it. There will be an investigation that will be held accountable. I want to ask a bigger picture question. (15:38–15:42)
