Steyer's Plan to Protect Illegals, and Gallego's Curious Swalwell Spin, Plus Jack Carr on American Chaos and Distrust | Ep. 1296

Megan Kelly argues that President Trump's mass deportation policy has significantly weakened, citing a 12% drop in ICE detentions from January to March and a strategic retreat from confrontations in sanctuary cities like Minneapolis. She claims the administration has shifted from targeting 'worst first' to 'worst only' due to political backlash and negative media coverage following high-profile incidents. Tom Steyer's pledge to abolish ICE is dismissed as unrealistic, while Jack Carr discusses the cultural importance of veterans sharing their stories to provide modern hero archetypes.

For a conservative perspective on the unraveling of Trump's immigration agenda and insight into how cultural narratives around national service and heroism are shifting.

1. 01ICE detentions dropped from 72,000 to 63,000 between January and March, signaling a de-escalation in Trump's immigration enforcement despite initial momentum.
2. 02Sanctuary cities like Minneapolis have successfully resisted federal immigration enforcement, leading to operational retreats and leadership changes within DHS.
3. 03Tom Steyer's campaign promise to abolish ICE is framed as politically extreme and legally unfeasible, reflecting broader Democratic emboldenment on immigration reform.
