00:00What would you think if I read you a quote from a lawmaker who says about ICE,

00:04to abolish it, to treat them as criminals or anything that is inappropriate and outrageous.

00:10I told you that that was Democrat John Fetterman.

00:14Well, it's, by the way, I assume when you read that, because you paused in the middle,
