Caller makes Stephen A. Smith completely RETHINK who’s really responsible for ICE enforcement chaos.

Smith was nearly convinced it was Trump’s fault until Keith from New York raised a “very poignant issue.”

KEITH: “During the prior administrations (Obama, Bush, etc.), there was cooperation with local jurisdictions [to hand people over to ICE].”

SMITH: Keith… I want to applaud you for calling up and bringing up this issue because you brought up a very poignant issue that I haven’t heard one single caller address in weeks about ICE. You spoke to the level of cooperation between the administration and the White House, the federal government, and local and state law enforcement. There was a level of cooperation.”

“The question is, why has that cooperation not existed? And my point is that’s a huge, huge question. Because if the level of cooperation that no longer exists… started in 2016 when Trump came into office… then that means that either Trump is engaging in a whole bunch of stuff that is considered unconstitutional, or the local and state officials in sanctuary cities specifically... are being IMPEDIMENTS to laws being executed and exercised.”

“Right now, we all believe it’s Trump because we see the optics, and it doesn’t look good… However, we’re able to discover that this stuff is being instigated by folks on the left… that’s a DIFFERENT ARGUMENT.”

“I don’t like the fact that local and state governments get the right to usurp federal authorities and just ignore the laws that they want to ignore. I don’t like nor trust Trump and his administration.”

“If we were to find out that a lot of the stuff that’s going on is because it was instigated by the left… And it was aimed specifically for the Trump administration… we’ve got ourselves a PROBLEM.”
