I would like to work with the department and i think it would be a vital and important step forward. So let me thank you. The time of the gentleman has expired. Those two documents will be made a part of the record. Please go ahead mr. King. Thank you, i appreciate this hearing and also your testimony here and listening to your testimony as well. Listening about the i. C. E. Containers and the because for a minute. Can i have a clear time . Okay. Listening about it the i. C. E. Containers, that is how long have we been operating under the i. C. E. Detainers. They go back a long way. When i was a federal prosecutor 25 years ago we had immigration dictators. They were mandatory for a long time. How long has this been a problem in your testimony . He said that in the last year 12,000 i. C. E. Detainers were not responded to by local Law Enforcement, 12,000. Is that indicative of a problem that we have had over a 20 year period of time for a shortterm anomaly . I think that that number has
Possible. We need this Problem Solved now. Reporter cycling advocates have been complaining for years about the lack of mile markers along the metropolitan branch trail. The met branch trail is one trail of many in the district and so we are going to have to have the same solution implemented on Anacostia Waterfront trail crescent trail has markers but more trails coming. Reporter without those markers along biking and hiking trails, 911 dispatchers have a very hard time sending bliss or paramedics to an exact location. Last week when witnesses called police during this attack on a female cyclist, they were told the trail location was not in the dispatch system. The head of d. C. Homeland security and Emergency Management tells news4 they have come up with a shortterm solution, gps coordinate fosser landmarks along the met branch trail have now been added to the 911 system. It is not a perfect solution. The perfect solution is to get as much information on its trail so people know wher
Thanks clarke and the Aspen Institute have having me back. Lucky to have the Homeland Security jeh johnson. Not going through his bio. You have it in your pamphlet. The two things that struck me as the most interesting preparing for this. It is difficult to know where to start in an interview with the secretary. He has Legal Council at the pentagon was involved in the most important issues that the Obama Administration inherited from the Bush Administration and many of you know he was responsible for helping resend dont ask dont tell he was the last legal word on every drone strike outside of the main seeders of war at the pentagon, he was in charge of the fraught issue of figuring out how to shutdown guantanamo bay, and the list goes on and on. With that background, it does make you realize why you were the guy for dhs which is another institution with a lot of problems when you inherited it. I want to ask you given that background you went from the pentagon and offense on the war on
That is Something Congress is trying to work on once more. Well come back to that a little later in the discussion. Same question, dave over to you. I think there is a real opportunity for us to be able to accelerate. The challenges we need to be more deliberate around the way that we are experimenting with this technology. The dialogues ive been having with some leadership is a renewed enthusiasm around taking emerging technology and the war fighters getting together we were trying to figure out what is the potential of the technology but in many ways, like my house, i cant anticipate how they are going to use it. They have far better ways to see it then we do. Its the sitter of brain storming process that allow you to adapt the procedures that you are going to use to employ the capability and feed that back into the acquisition process. Then you can tighten up the cycle time. Its its a co evolution of the solution. To have an example of the kind of things youre talking about . At lea
That we want tor detention and removal purposes my hope is they not be released period. I honestly believe the most effective way to go about getting at undocumented criminals in local jails is through a cooperative, constructive effort.

With all due respect, sir, i think the administration is avoiding this because of the propensity to want amnesty the way it does but that is a matter for another day. But if you want to respond to that. The problem, if i may, is for a long time we did take the position that detainers were mandatory and that was leading to a lot of litigation in the courts. Right.
