Stephen Gardner proposed that Donald Trump focus ICE enforcement efforts on "red" states where governors and attorneys general are supportive of the mission. He contrasted the violent resistance faced by Border Chief Greg Bovino in Minnesota with the successful, quiet removal of 20,000 criminals in Florida. Gardner argued that securing "easy wins" in supportive jurisdictions would fulfill campaign promises without the "kinetic warfare" seen in sanctuary cities.

Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino conducted an enforcement action outside a press conference held by Governor Gavin Newsom in Los Angeles. Newsom reacted by calling the arrests "sick and pathetic" and accusing the Trump administration of authoritarian tendencies. Bovino maintained that his agents were simply doing their jobs to make California safer by removing lawless individuals.
