What did you end up learning about just the number of rests that they have most recently been making?
11:10
Yeah, so that week from April 17th to the 23rd, the Laramie County Sheriff's Office actually topped the nation in terms of the number of immigration arrests it made out of any local or state law enforcement agency that has the power to make immigration arrests.
11:31
I don't know too much about the context of that, if Laramie County... is typically high up on the list among law enforcement agencies, just in terms of the number of immigration arrests that it makes.
11:44
But I think it was significant just that I don't think people typically think of Wyoming as a place where many immigration arrests would happen.

But if you're going to come here to break the law, you're breaking the laws of our country, then turn around and go right back where you came from.
15:30
Actually, the fact that they're doing these traffic operations is something that Sheriff Kozak wants to promote.
15:38
Obviously, in the public, there's some people who don't feel great about the sheriff's approach to traffic.
15:46
how he presents these operations and just about the 287G agreements in general.
