Trump, ICE and Immigration: A Call for Humane Enforcement

President Trump has said that he thinks immigration hurt Republicans i- in the midterms.

Uh, Palantir was involved i- in some of that, uh, with ICE.

Uh, w- do you agree with him? Do you- Well, I think, I mean, I, I was really happy to hear the president be honest that, you know, his words, I believe, were something like, "Yeah, we kinda went too far."

I have been saying in private, like, there's always a question, what do you say in public? What do you say in private?

But I think anyone who's interacted me- with me in private has heard several messages.

One, you can't explain to the American people that we deserve to be 20 times, whether you've heard this, blah, blah, blah.

Two, there are different kinds of progressives.

Three, I am, uh, someone who believes in very controlled migration, but it has to be humanely done and competently done.

And Americans are a deeply fair people. So if you wanna do these things, and I'm glad he's saying in public now what I've been saying in private, and we will see what happens.

And what have you been saying in private exactly about ICE?

Well, you, you have to be super competent, and it has to be fair and explainable to the average American person.

People agree with you, and people don't agree with you.

The average American per- look, President Obama, that we supported also in that context, uh, did very well in, like, having a migration policy that people bought into.
