more on a on a like like I said in a. more over presence the local ice field. director says they're targeting violent. offenders but they're not stopping there. are other undocumented immigrants off. the table right now well I wouldn't say. necessarily they're off the table uh. that's kind of on a case-by Case basis. we we make a discretionary uh call on. every case that we arrest whether that's. a criminal or not a criminal but we're. going to take enforcement action on. every individual what does the next. stage look like the next stage is going.

to be again we're still going to go. after the worst first but as we go. through those lists uh individuals. primarily with final orders of removal. perhaps it don't have criminal records I. would say those would be the next uh. priorities that we'll go after and. eventually we'll see where that leads us. too in some communities where. undocumented immigrants work and pay. taxes a sense of fear setting in we are. here to. address the fear no one should be afraid. to go to work MH mhm no child should be.
