It's Monday, July 14th.
I'm Jane Costen, and this is What A Day,
the show that thinks that President Donald Trump waking up on a Saturday morning and posting that he thinks Rosie O'Donnell should have her citizenship revoked would be kind of an amusing side note
if he were not the President of the United States of America who already wants to end birthright citizenship and deport U.S. citizens.
On today's show,
it's been one year since the attempted assassination of President Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania.
And the State Department is undergoing a massive reorganization,
which really just means laying off more than a thousand employees.
But let's start with immigration.
Specifically, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.
It's now the most well-funded law enforcement agency in the federal government,
thanks to Trump's new disastrous spending and tax law.
That's not great for a whole bunch of reasons.
We could talk about plans to hire 10,000 new officers as quickly as possible.
But first and foremost, let's talk about what,
or more accurately, who ICE has been tasked with detaining and deporting.
Because even before it got all this new money,
the agency had seemingly pivoted away from targeting all those terrifying criminals Trump promised to deport on the campaign trail.
Now the agency is more regularly going after non-criminals, your farm workers,
day laborers, and folks who have been here for decades.
