Summary

Right now, there are a million illegal immigrants who have exhausted all their legal appeals--and yet still are living in the country, illegally, partially thanks to lackluster deportation efforts by the Obama administration. Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, joins us to discuss what Immigration and Customs Enforcement can do, and how. We also cover these stories:•Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan steps down, and Army Secretary Mark Esper is named the new acting defense secretary. •Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez compares migrant detention centers to concentration camps. •Parkland student Kyle Kashuv reiterates how sorry he is for using a racist term, after Harvard rescinds his admission.
