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. but i m sorry to interrupt, i only have a little bit. but that isn t working. so i think you have the authority, i think that you need to take the tough position to say, in a directive, you will respond to us and if you need something done legislatively come back to you. 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. i m aware of that sir. we re losing. we re losing for reasons of the due process clause of the constitut
