the probable cause statement. so we will know a little bit more but for people who want to know all of it, they re gonna have to be patient because it can take some time, first of all for these documents to be some context on whether or not it will be unsealed, we will have to see how mr. trump responds. and they will have to wait for the affidavit itself. the most interesting and the most substantive document, that s yet to come. you have a suspicion on what mr. trump would respond? i don t, i don t think he s really been very forthcoming. he hasn t cooperated traditionally with law enforcement or even in the civil litigation process where he often finds himself. so i would be pleasantly surprised, actually very surprised, if he were to consent to the release of these documents. you had mentioned that i think you are right, alicia, that in some ways, attorney general garland is calling his bluff.

okay, how about the over 10 million people thatevery month cross that border and they re not stopped. how about the hundreds o thousands of people each year who come here, no, it s phony and bogus and anti-american. and you know who profits from this, alicia? the drug cartels, those who exploit this. we create add detention center, it s called ellis island. today we have immigration centers we might as well call them the islands of death, because people, alicia, are dying. separate from covid-19, people are dying. half of those that die in i.c.e. facilities while in detention died because of medical reasons
