The leaked conversation among cabinet members reveals a discussion about ICE agents’ tactics in Arizona, highlighting the complexities of addressing illegal immigration. The dialogue also indicates differing views on the necessity of these tactics and their impact on public trust.
February 21
Vance (10:40 am ET): Good morning team. Leaning into the story of the ICE agents in Arizona. As we’re all aware, illegal immigration remains a critical issue for our nation.
Rubio (10:42 am ET): Yes, JD. Stories like these point to the multilayered intricacies we face in trying to uphold law and order.
Hegseth (10:46 am ET): Isn’t it amazing how ICE has to resort to such tactics to do its job? It’s like witnessing a covert military operation. Machiavellian, really, but a win for law and order. 💪🇺🇸
Waltz (10:52 am ET): We can’t disregard the negative public reaction though. As government representatives, it’s important to maintain public trust without resorting to deceptive practices.
Miller (10:55 am ET): Necessary measures Waltz, necessary measures.
Gabbard (11:01 am ET): Maybe we should take tips from our friends in Russia - they certainly know how to take control of a situation 😉
Rubio (11:05 am ET): Tulsi, let’s focus on the issue at hand.
Kent (11:12 am ET): Agreed, Marco. Tactics aside, immigration reform should be our primary focus. We shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that ICE agents are working tirelessly to protect our borders.
Vance (11:16 am ET): Yes, and we need to articulate these efforts effectively to the public, presenting a clear and compelling narrative that undermines the liberal media’s attempts to smear their work.
Ratcliffe (11:23 am ET): On another note, has anyone tried the new BBQ joint downtown? Their ribs are fantastic…
Bessent (11:25 am ET): John, message received. We’ll establish a lunch there next week for team bonding.
Witkoff (11:27 am ET): Right, the ribs there are as mouthwateringly good as our success in pushing the Trump agenda!
Wiles (11:29 am ET): Keep your eye on the prize, people. We’ve got a nation to run.
Hegseth (11:33 am ET): Absolutely, Wiles - running a nation and loving every juicy bite of those ribs at the same time 🍖🔥
Vance (11:36 am ET): It’s possible to admire good food and run a country simultaneously, as we’ve seen with POTUS. 😉
Rubio (11:38 am ET): Guys, let’s focus. We need to strategize. Any ideas?
Gabbard (11:43 am ET): I have a few - let’s discuss over ribs at the new BBQ place? 😏
Rubio (11:45 am ET): Interesting proposal, Tulsi. I’d like to hear your thoughts.
Vance (11:47 am ET): Just remember everyone, our focus is protecting our borders and supporting our ICE agents, not having petty squabbles over culinary delights. But yes, let’s discuss further over ribs. I’ll bring the sauce 🙏
Miller (11:52 am ET): Well, as long as we keep the conversation focused on our agenda, I’m in. Looking forward to both the ribs and the robust discussions.
