00:00Indiana. Why Indiana for this latest detention center? Why not? I mean, bottom line is the state
00:08should play a role in this administration's efforts to remove public safety threats from
00:13this nation as quick as possible. It will be ailing public safety threats and that's security
00:17threats. States are playing a role. I'm happy. I'm happy for their participation and coordination
00:23and efforts. How quickly could we see it up and running? I don't have exact deadline on it.
00:29I know it's a 1,000-bed facility and like I just said in another interview, I'd like
00:35to see more, I'd like to see bigger facilities that hold, you know, 4,000 or 5,000 people.
00:41Just creates more efficiencies. Near an airstrip, move people in on quicker, bigger population,
00:47but 1,000 beds help. I've said from day one, we need 100,000 beds. That's what we asked
00:51for in the big beautiful bill and we got it. 100,000 beds will create more efficiencies and
00:56allow ICE agents to arrest more bad people on the street. And with us hiring at a massive
01:01rate, more boots on the ground, we need arresting more criminals, which means we need more beds.
01:06Everybody arrests is a bed. They're going to be in custody for several days, several weeks,
01:10several months, depending on a specific case. But the more beds we have, the more success we're
01:16getting.
