00:00Now to Straight From You. You spoke and we listened. Every week we poll your best comments

00:10and questions from our YouTube community. And this week, one topic towered above the

00:15rest. This is Straight From You, where your curiosity drives the conversation. We break

00:20down fact from fiction, minus the spin. A clarification this morning on a question we

00:25keep hearing. Is Border Patrol part of ICE? And inside ICE, who actually does the arrest?

00:32Okay, here we go with the answer. Follow me here. The short answer is no. Border Patrol

00:36is not part of ICE. It operates under Customs and Border Protection, or CBP. ICE is a separate

00:43agency. Both those sit under the Department of Homeland Security. Here's who does what.

00:49CBP, and specifically Border Patrol, handles enforcement at and between ports of entry.

00:54Their job is stopping unlawful crossings and inspecting what comes into the country. By

01:01law, CBP can operate in a so-called border zone that extends up to 100 miles from any land

01:07border or coastline. Think big cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Constitutional

01:13limits still apply, but that's the footprint. ICE focuses on the U.S. interior. Once people

01:20are past the border process, ICE arrests, detains, and removes immigration violators. Inside ICE,

01:26there are two main branches. You'll hear about HSI, Homeland Security Investigations. That's

01:32ICE's criminal investigative arm, including smuggling, trafficking, cyber and financial crimes,

01:38illegal tech, exports, IP theft, and child exploitation cases. ERO, Enforcement and Removal

01:46Operations. Now that's the civil immigration side. They locate, arrest, detain, and remove people from

01:53immigration violations or final orders of removal, and manage detention standards. How the handoff

02:00works? Well, if someone is caught between ports of entry, CBP processes first. After that, ICE takes

02:07over. HSI, if it's a criminal case, ERO for detention and removal in the interior. In a big surge

02:15or big surge operations, you may see both in the same place, but they have different mandates and

02:21separate chains of command, if you will. One quick rights note. Even in that 100-mile zone we talked

02:27about, officers generally need reasonable suspicion to detain and probable cause to arrest. You have the

02:34right to remain silent, and limits still apply to searches without consent or probable cause.

02:40All right, here's number two. Why do we name hurricanes, especially human names? Very timely

02:45topic, of course, based on what we've seen Hurricane Melissa do to Jamaica and other parts this week.

02:51Well, here's the answer. Clarity and speed. NOAA says short, distinct names cut confusion when multiple

02:58storms spin up at once and make warnings easier to hear, repeat, and act on. We didn't always do it

03:04this way, though. For centuries, storms were tagged by date or place. Galveston, 1900, and in the West

03:10Indies, by Saints' days. World War II, U.S. meteorologists popularized women's names in the

03:17Pacific. The U.S. formalized women-only names in 1953. Advocacy in the 1960s and 70s led to alternating

03:25male and female names by 1979. Today, the World Meteorological Organization keeps six-year rotating

03:32lists. Names get retired when a storm is exceptionally deadly or costly. For instance, Katrina in 2005 and

03:40Andrew in 1992, and they're replaced on future lists. If an Atlantic season tops 21 named storms,

03:47forecasters now pull from a supplemental list instead of Greek letters. By the way, check out more of our
