homeland security released a scathing internal review which found that i.c.e. failed to adequately monitor hundreds of detention facilities here in the u.s. for years. just last week, i spoke with senator kamala harris about calls to abolish i.c.e. more and more democrats are in favor of getting rid of the agency. i think there s no question that we ve got to critically reexamine i.c.e. and its role and the way that it is being administered and the work it is doing and we need to probably think about starting from scratch. i think it s too aggressive and over the top and i think it s lost its course. so we should replace it with something sensible, something practical. they still have to be a law enforcement agency but one that is a little more humane. we should froe text families that need our help and that is not what i.c.e. is doing today. start over, reimagine it, and build something that actually works. we can replace it with a humane agency that is directed toward safe pa
outright. i don t foresee another one of these coalitions coming together that says, look, this has been the law for 50, 40 some odd years and we re going to respect it. that s what story decisis is, respecting precedent. to us, the people who want to overturn it, is like racial segregation. they want to overturn it because it was wrong in their view. pete williams, what s your reporting on this and how realistic is it that there are cases that will wind their way through that would ultimately lead to an overturning of roe v. wade? there is no shortage of cases in the states that have tried repeat lid to overturn roe. the more recent trend with ken dip on the court has been to say, well, that s a lost cause. so the action has been in the states to, as nina say, restrict access. instructive example. texas passed a law that said a clinic that provides abortion services has to be built to the same standards as an ambulatory care center and the doctors who
something where you have a sense that on questions of precedent, questions of roe v. wade she could have an easier time getting through the senate or be somebody who could make them feel better about the issues? not necessarily. she had said roe was erroneously decided is the term she used. to be fair, ruth bader ginsburg said the same thing. it came to the court too fast and the court shouldn t have decided it. but nonetheless, remember she just got on the court of appeals by president trump, so she s been there for about a year. she s already survived the senate confirmation. she was a law professor at notre dame. now she s a federal judge. i heard the president say or someone say the president was going to talk to perhaps two women, and for the life of me i m not sure who the second woman is. i m not either. let me say something about the list of the president s. the list as much as a political document, the people who compiled it didn t think it was
of congress regarding the abolishment of i.c.e., i do think a lot of this legislation points to the america that we want to have. i think there s no question that we ve got to critically reexamine i.c.e. and its role and the way that it is being administered and the work it is doing, and we need to probably think about starting from scratch. i believe you should get rid of it, start over, reimagine it, and build something that actually works. democratic leadership, though, is pumping the brakes on the idea, senate minority leader chuck schumer says i.c.e. does a lot of things jon that are very much needed. jon: as we heard from the president earlier, he welcomes that debate. he does. jon: bryan llenas, thank you. amid the nationwide protests i.c.e. names a new leader. the agency s deputy director and acting director, he currently serves as the border patrol s acting deputy commissioner will take over for thomas homan. in a statement homeland security secretary nielsen calls v
to abolish i.c.e., they re not saying to do away with any interior immigration enforcement. they are saying the agency as we know it should either be reformed, the duties should be given to gnaw entity, or there should be some type of radical restructuring of the agency. it doesn t seem that anyone is saying we shouldn t do immigration enforcement which is to a certain extent necessary in this country. raul reyes, thank you very much for your perspective on this. thank you. i really appreciate it. just ahead, the supreme court, mid terms and a shocking fall from leadership. it s an interesting time to be a democrat. in my next hour, i m joined by two high profile candidates, ben jealous and jason kander, who is running for mayor of kansas city. we re back after this. starting with features designed to make it easy for your driver to find you. taking the stress out of pickups. and we re putting safety at the heart of everything we do. with a single tap, we re giving you new ways
