[00:00:00] Speaker 1: ICE, alors certainement que le gouverneur n'a pas le droit d'empêcher ICE d'intervenir. En revanche, ils ont le droit, et c'est ce que certains d'entre eux ont fait, de dire nos forces étatiques n'aideront pas ICE à intervenir. Il est arrivé au pouvoir Donald Trump en disant on va arrêter the worst of the worst, les pires du pire, les criminels. Aujourd'hui, je regardais les chiffres qui ont été donnés par l'administration Trump, il y a environ 73 000 personnes qui sont actuellement en détention aux Etats-Unis, qui sont des sans-papiers. En revanche, quand on regarde sur le dossier criminel, est-ce que c'est les pires du pire, 70% de ceux qui sont actuellement en détention, à peu près, n'ont rien sur leur dossier à part le fait d'avoir franchi la frontière illégalement. Et d'ailleurs, sur les Américains, seulement 38% sont favorables à la façon dont ils s'occupent de l'immigration, c'est le sujet sur lequel les Américains sont les moins contents de Donald Trump.

Arow Summary
The speaker argues that while a U.S. governor cannot legally stop ICE from conducting enforcement actions, state authorities can refuse to assist ICE. They note that Trump came to power promising to detain the “worst of the worst” criminals, but cite administration figures showing about 73,000 undocumented people in detention, with roughly 70% having no criminal record beyond illegal border crossing. The speaker adds that only 38% of Americans approve of Trump’s handling of immigration, making it one of his weakest issues publicly.

Arow Key Takeaways
  • Governors generally cannot block ICE operations, but states can decline to support them.
  • Trump’s stated focus on detaining serious criminals is challenged by cited figures about detainees’ criminal histories.
  • Approximately 73,000 undocumented individuals are said to be in U.S. detention in the cited data.
  • Roughly 70% of detainees reportedly have no criminal record beyond illegal entry.
  • Public approval of Trump’s immigration handling is cited as low (38%), suggesting political vulnerability on the issue.
Arow Sentiments
Neutral: The tone is analytical and critical of the gap between stated policy goals and reported detention data, but it primarily presents factual claims and polling figures rather than emotional language.
