people interfering with ice agents and doing their jobs. parking their cars to go into their office. she needs to study the issue also. to volunteer protesters come and get in the middle of us doing our job. we had an office in portland shut down a week. that means criminals weren t being arrested. victims of child trafficking, sex trafficking weren t being rescued. drug traffickers weren t being arrested. so it just if she wants to be a congressman, she needs to know is fix is system and change the laws and close loop holes. i want to add one thing. if anybody wants to look about who to blame, congress needs to look in the mir legislatromirro. i told them loop holes need to be fixed. they re failing to address the problems. it s easier to points fingers. charles: a lot of open border folks are using this as a more convenient reason to attack the
