"Defund the police are the three stupidest words in the history of the English language, responded Carville. The left is universally wrong about everything [American people] want to have some type of immigration and customs control."
"While he admitted that recent actions by ICE have been horrible, noting the differences in training between becoming an FBI agent and an ICE officer, he went on to say that some of these ICE agents are dedicated law enforcement professionals although, I suspect it might be a smaller percent than you imagine. A lot of them are just a pack of people that couldn't get a job anywhere else that figured they got a chance with not very much training to carry a badge and a gun and shoot people, Carville continued. That's the real danger. The danger is not that we have Immigration and Customs Enforcement. We need that."
"I think that the Supreme Court is probably going to rule on this trans athlete issue, referring to the likelihood that the Court upholds state bans on transgender athletes participating in women's sports. The first oral arguments in Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., which pertain to state laws in West Virginia and Idaho, were heard earlier this week. We didn't get our messaging right on this whole thing, Carville added. Because of this flubbing it, we've actually done more harm to trans people than we would have wanted to. It's been very ineffective, our messaging on this."
Democratic messaging should avoid calls to abolish ICE and instead emphasize reform, making ICE work, and maintaining immigration and customs control. The phrase "defund the police" is described as politically damaging language. Recent ICE actions are acknowledged as horrible, and differences in training between FBI agents and ICE officers are noted. Some ICE officers are characterized as dedicated professionals while many are portrayed as poorly trained and potentially dangerous. The danger is framed as unqualified agents rather than the agency itself. Messaging on transgender athlete policies is described as ineffective and having harmed trans people amid pending Supreme Court rulings.
