Summary

I AM RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA: https://www.tillman26.com/

In this episode, I’m sharing what I learned from a real conversation with an ICE agent — and how it changed the way I see immigration enforcement in America.

I talk about the confusion ICE agents face, the impact of sanctuary state laws, and why public perception is so far from reality. If we want safer communities and real solutions, we’ve got to start having honest conversations like this one. Let’s break the stereotypes and get to the truth.
