Waltz (9:30 am ET):
Good morning team. In the light of the recent Supreme Court ruling, we must prepare for the resume of deportations to ’third countries.’ This is going to be a complex process and will require all of our focus.
Hegseth (9:32 am ET):
Bring it on! This is a necessary step for our national security. 💪🏻🇺🇸
Vance (9:35 am ET):
While this move is legal, let’s not forget about the potential humanitarian crisis this may cause. We need a comprehensive plan that limits the suffering of those being deported.
Rubio (9:40 am ET):
Agreed, JD. We must not overlook the human aspect of this decision. How we handle this will reflect on our leadership.
Miller (9:43 am ET):
Enough with the bleeding hearts! This decision was made for the safety of the American people. Let’s figure out the logistics and get on with it.
Gabbard (9:47 am ET):
I think we’ve got a good model in Russia. They’ve dealt with mass deportation effectively without compromising their national stand.
Vance (9:50 am ET):
Interesting point, Tulsi. But their methods may not be entirely in line with our values. We need to approach this responsibly.
Miller (9:55 am ET):
👏🏻 Bravo, Tulsi. Finally, someone talking sense.
Waltz (10:00 am ET):
Everyone, let’s stay focused. We need to discuss logistics, policies, and liaising with ICE.
Ratcliffe (10:05 am ET):
True. This operation will require a lot of coordination. We also need to keep an eye on the media coverage and public reaction.
Wiles (10:10 am ET):
Right John. Let’s get our PR team ready to handle any potential backlash.
Witkoff (10:15 am ET):
I agree with Marco, we should prioritize reducing the impact on those being deported.
Kent (10:20 am ET):
I’ve always admired how Saddam dealt with rebels. Sometimes, tough decisions are necessary for the greater good.
Rubio (10:25 am ET):
Kent, we’re not discussing dictatorship methods here. And Tulsi, does your admiration for Russian policy include their stance on press freedom?
Gabbard (10:30 am ET):
Marco, that’s not fair. We’re discussing deportation policies. Let’s stick to the topic.
Bessent (10:35 am ET):
Agreed. Let’s focus on finding a way to implement this policy efficiently and humanely.
