Joining us now is Congressman Robert Garcia of California, ranking Democrat on the Committee on Oversight and Accountability. Thank you so much for joining us this morning, Congressman. I want to start there with ICE, the supercharged ICE with $170 billion coming their way.How do you how are you thinking about how are you preparing for what's to come with all of this money that ICE is getting. I mean, not only was this bill obviously horrific for health care, for all the wealth that's being transferred, of ...

The lackadaisical enforcement of EU law is clear for all to see. It is the commission’s job to crack down on members misbehaving, but it has become increasingly uninterested in playing bad cop https://t.co/kqbmhLHYBQIllustration: Peter Schrank https://t.co/kgSIydrM0f ...

The federal government has as a core duty the right and responsibility to enforce immigration law and police the borders. That's what the government is. That's what the federal government is really.So if you contest that, it is like a threat to disunion fundamentally. I mean I think there's a lot at stake and we reached this point because a series of paradoxically weak federal governments allowed sanctuary cities to continue literally for decades. Each one its own form of insurrection against the central go ...

Today, for the very first time since federal troops were sent into Los Angeles, we saw a member of the US Marine Corps detain a civilian outside a federal building in LA. You can see the footage right there on the screen. That's according to Reuters, which obtained this footage you're seeing showing two Marines appearing to handcuff and temporarily detain a young man for walking through a National Guard checkpoint.Now, the man who was detained is reportedly a veteran himself who was just trying to get to th ...

you you were once in command of an infantry platoon um at 29 Palms, which is the base where many of these Marines are being deployed from. What kind of training what should we know about what they do at that base to prepare them if it prepares them for what they're being asked to do here. Good evening, Jen.Thanks for having me on. It does not prepare them for what they are being asked to do right now, which is domestic law enforcement. A job that the LAPD are well trained to do and have the situation fully ...

That incident resulted this week in the indictment of Congresswoman Lam Monica Mcver by a federal grand jury.The congresswoman is facing three counts of forcibly impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers. She says she plans to plead ...

I'm talking about lethality. That's what you talk about all the time. Readiness.Readiness and training and accountability is all part of lethality. That's right. The more ready you are, the know capable you are, the more accountable you are, the higher your standards are.It all makes you more lethal. So, the mission in Los Angeles, as you know well, sir, is not about lethality. It's about maintaining law and order on behalf of law enforcement agents who deserve to do their job without being attacked by mobs ...

The administration has talked a lot about defending law enforcement over the last week or so that these protests have been going on, but you've been criticized for having a double standard with the president pardoning all these people who attacked police officers on January 6th in his first day in office. How do you answer that criticism. Well, this is very different.The these are people out there hurting people in California right now. This is ongoing. No longer.We're going to protect them. We're going to ...
