Yes, thanks for the question. As we've talked, I think ICE as an agency shouldn't exist. I don't think it can be reformed. We have to abolish it and start from scratch. While there are things that ICE shouldn't do. I remember being in Wayne's county thinking, what would happen if ICE reached our health centers? How do you deal with that? It wasn't a problem before this administration, because there was a restriction to apply the law in sensitive areas. Also, they should be able to show their faces and allow you to know their name. They also shouldn't be able to carry life on. They shouldn't be able to carry war weapons in the context of the operations. There should also be very, very clear rules about how and where they interact, like this should be true of any federal law that applies to all federal agencies federal
