Episode notes
ICE Reform Seen As Politically Driven

- He frames the push as catering to a far-left base that opposes immigration enforcement and risks DHS funding standoffs.
Start Negotiations By Ending Sanctuary Policies
- Brad Knott says Republicans should demand an end to sanctuary policies as a negotiation starting point on ICE operations.
- He urges tying local cooperation to federal enforcement to restore detainer practices for serious criminals.
Shutdown Could Energize Political Bases
