They will never get back to anyone.
"These things are known".... I accept your statement as fact.
They just wait till they’re out of office and leave it for the next idiot
Because they dont really want it. They just want the sound byte

They will but you'll never hear about it because it's not useful for PR after the cameras are turned off.
"It's under investigation" = "we will sweep it under the rug."
AKA, with bragging rights from the deplorable Megyn Kelly, "I know I should care, but I don't."
watch Bidens Border boss say that all the time
They all have been trained to say "I DON'T KNOW " or "was not aware"
"I will get back at you!" 😠
@Azucar408
Smart move getting away with the questions 🙆🏻♂️
But if you're common citizen all your rights don't matter.
$170 billion dollar budget and yet every single high-profile case is still under investigation.
and 'we have investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing' as is always the case with law enforcement
There is no investigation. It’s a lie. It’s a farce. It’s a coverup.
Literally 😂
Let me save everyone 5 minutes:
"I can't answer that." -on repeat
"I don't know"
"I can't answer that"
"I was just following orders"
😂😂😂😂😂
I'll have to get back to you on that.. Right.. I can't speak on that while an investigation is going on..No investigation!!
No more our Tax payer money
@m.schetr7398 Funding can be taken away. Institutions can be dismantled. It just takes a vote.
Ava THIS IS WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR YAZZZ🎉
@m.schetr7398keep kissing up to the fascist oligarchs. I’m sure they’ll compensate you. Maybe they already are !
Why should Americans pay for all these acts? That's our hard earned money.
They don`t ask you, they just take it and there`s nothing you can do.
" I can't comment on an ongoing investigation". "I'll get back to you". What a joke.
No accountability
Arrest these guys when they lie to you it is a crime against you....
Yes they hired the insurrectionists.
No, this is an insurrection getting in the way of law-enforcement from carrying out civil law enforcement duties. We the people voted for this get out the way.
I think that THESE are the jobs Trump talks about when he brags that employment is rising.
@everardodelgado6664come move me.
@everardodelgado6664No we didn’t vote for this fascist BS. This is not what Trump promised and you know it. Get out of the way of the Constitution. I’m a former Border Patrol Agent. I know the law. ICE is breaking the law and they know it. Read the Constitution and stop supporting fascism.
You’re absolutely right.
They have the names wrong for several of the witnesses. Their name plate says Hon. These men are anything but honorable.
ALL THEY DO IS SAY “I’LL GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT”.
Just like Verizon executives, who tapped all the phones illegally. I guess you are OK with that though!!
The head of ICE did state on record, this is just the beginning..
Why isn’t our government funding education instead of enforcement? Because stupidity is useful to powerful individuals.
Education is a state responsibly, not federal.
If our schools would teach Civics, and our Bill of rights at least, There would be much less abuse of power by the cops. An informed public is our best way to retain our freedoms.
@GaryVolts theres literally a Department of Education that the WWE lady runs now and is trying to get rid of. our government doesn't want our children educated they want empty shells addicted to tiktok and call of duty.
@GaryVolts maybe if you were more educated, you would know the difference between "responsibly" and "responsibility"
EASY…bc they are just as corrupt lol
They do not deserve American Dollars, that would be rewarding our abusers and validating their actions.
So true...
Every damn thing is under investigation...LIARS!
Under Investigation =damage controvel/active coverup
@mlscrz Amen! Such LIARS!!
The same with IDF actions are all under investigation for years
There aren’t enough investigators to investigate their multitude of unlawful acts
Keep up the good work Ice 👍 👌
The mental gymnastics, these people do to justify their violence towards people is positively disgusting.
No gymnastics no answers
They are into it
They will NEVER get back to them
This man needs to resign in shame and apologize publicly!
there is no Justice in the tRUMP administration. Love to move to Canada
@dlk44 bye
For what?
The lack of accountability, should matter to all Americans. We shouldn't be divided on wanting accountability for for this agency. Wake up Americans
Where were you four years ago?
They all need to be fired. Not one of them are accepting any accountability or doing anything to stop the lawless behavior. This has been going on for months, the images have been highly visible, splattered all over the internet and the news, so they can’t say they know nothing about them. And yet nothing was done. They’ve proven themselves incapable of doing the job, which has proven harmful to the American people. They need to go.
These are monsters...at the top....how can they not be able to basic questions. IMPEACH THEM ALL
Amen!!
NO ACCOUNTABILITY, NO MONEY FROM TAX PAYERS!!!
Lying bastards. They don't have numbers, they don't know anything: off course😮
Amen!
Oh sure, pepper spraying a car driver through the drivers window is not intentional 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😅😅😅
Let me guess the next answer : I cannot comment on an ongoing investigation ;-)
Garland,Ray special what's the problem?
I don't understand why the CBP Commissioner will not speak the truth! What is wrong with these people? As a hefty tax payer.... do not give them a penny!
No not one penny 👈🏼
They are a crul agency.
They have no mercy.
Their the devil 😈 in disguise
They kill
and destroy than they have a pay
from
us the American people we pay ICE with our text money to go out
mistreating and abusing
People. I am not their acomlace 🙆🏻♂️
I VOTE
Abolish
Ice
🗣Enough
They must not be allowed to investigate themselves this must be done independently.
Bravo, thank you for letting her know how most Americans think about her and her DOJ office
truth and demorcracy go hand in hand not blind hatred
Pepper spraying into a car thats being operated should be an attempted murder charge.
This is disgusting!! Watching that poor little girl suffer with pepper spray in her eyes is beyond cruel!! This makes me so sad and tears streaming my face. I am SO MAD at this terrifying administration!! Omg! When will this end!!
These individuals testifying are criminals and need to be removed just like Ice this whole administration 🤬🤬
"I'll have to get back to you. Our whole outfit is under investigation. "
Why is it they never seem to have any answers but they will always get back to them.
Just so sick they can’t even answer simple questions about conduct and accountability!!!
There is no accountability on not E V E R getting back to you
Silence speaks volumes the public is going to hold these men accountable if they not start answering
Criminals are running the country!
They always have been, you think your party was any better? Immigration is the onlybthing yrump did right.
@Smitherrrsno he has not and is not. He blocked congress from strengthening immigration laws. He is deporting less illegal immigrants than previous presidents despite having more funding and agents.
What do you mean. Biden is gone.
No surprise, when the leader is a convicted felon ~ 34 times over.
@acousticshadow4032 what? China trolls army spotted with nonsense comments against U.S patriot President Trump
Arrest all of them and throw away the keys😠
no your suppose to get the illegsls out stupid cover up 9 billon
Investigate the murder of Renee and Alex!
What does he know? He clearly is in denial . You can readily see.
Cowards without answers!
@forreststump11like the last admin? Hmm get up to speed bro
@forreststump11perfectly said
That was an amazing line of questioning.
There will be consequences for these Idiots!
The consequences should come to all you morons getting in the way and impeding law-enforcement.
We hope
@everardodelgado6664😂😅😂😅😂 impeding murderers 😂😅😅😂 of American Citizens i guess that is a crime now day's you moron 🙄
Hold every one of them accountable.
They HAVE we have seen them!
Ironically Trump has done far more damage in the last months to Law Enforcement against Illegal Immigration than Democrats have done since....well ever.
ICE needs to be fully held accountable for their crimes, dismantled and rebuilt from the ground up if the public is ever going to have an ounce of trust in them.
Are you sure about that? Democrats started the KKK Democrats fought against D segregation Democrats fought against and protested having colored people and white people go to the same school
@everardodelgado6664 Its not as clear cut as you make it sound like. But lets for the sake of argument say you are 100% correct. What does the KKK and segregation policy have to do ICE?
@stefansibbes2440you're responding to a bot
@everardodelgado6664 look up the site students of history. Theres an article titled The Great Switch: How the Republican & Democratic Parties Flipped Ideologies.
Ironically Biden has done more damage to the American citizens by creating the mess America is in.
"I'll have to get back to you on that one"
Oh that extremely well covered controversy? I’ve already forgotten about it.
Punting because he’s guilty
You think they have all these figures on the tip of their tongue?
Mane they look terrible im here for it
NO ACCOUNTABILITY, NO TAXES!!!
There's no accountability for what are clear violations of law!
These hearings are absolutely for nothing.
THIS IS DISTURBING. BUNCH OF CRIMINALS
These idiots need to be held to account for their crimes.Tribunals for all these bastards.Full stop
They've never been disciplined on anything they do including out and out murder
NO MORE FUNDING
LACK. OF. ACCOUNTABILITY. FROM. THE. TOP.
If "other police agencies" is your bar for what you want to bring ICE up to, thats still an incredibly low bar.
I thanks to God everyday that I had a decent parent who taught me what it takes to be a human being. I feel sad for this ice officers, kids and families
Accountability! It absolutely starts at the top!
Thank you, Mr. Magaziner.
they have no idea how angry the people are at these abuses. tipping point has been reached.
So sad to see this
They come to these meetings completely unprepared……Lying Cowards!
What is the point of these hearings if they say “I don’t know anything” to every question
Lying Liars Lie! These men should be charged for lying . No transparency means no accountability.
Great 🎉🎉🎉🎉 questioning
ABOLISH ICE - You can't reform this it is what "the top" wants - terrorizing and murdering people
Anyone doing this would be charged with assault
Dipping in court.... dude is already gross, now he is grosser.
Zero confidence in these witnesses! Nor ever in these agencies ICE or CBZp!
Yep, get 'em where it hurts.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$
No more money for DHS until they clean their house! ZERO.
ICE needs to be shut down
Then what? There's still customs enforcement you fool
@adriankoh4859DHS will still exist, and there's nothing to stop the formation of a new, *well-regulated and thoroughly monitored* agency to do job where it needs doing: *at the border.*
@andrewreynolds9371"at the border" so those who came in illegally we're just going to ignore them then? And give them housing, medical care, and resources paid by our tax dollars?
@adriankoh4859no, you arrest them when they commit a serious crime, which under federal law, being in the US without permission *isn't.* and you can repeat the lies about them getting 'free stuff' all you want, but they'll still be lies.
@adriankoh4859 "And give them housing, medical care, and resources paid by our tax dollars" What? No undocumented person in this country is receiving free houses and healthcare. Not outside of some temporary status anyway. Also, most of these people are still paying taxes. So it's THEIR taxes too. Thirdly... who cares? You just watched a video of citizens (including children) being terrorized and assaulted and your response is that you're mad there's a Mexican restaurant down the street!?
Fawlty Towers ... "I know nothing" !
We need accountability. 100%
I love this Senator. He does not let anyone give him nonsense. I love how he stays right on point.
Hes an Evil Henchman, give him his day in court
It is assault and should be charged.
3:21 Love the dude in the background laughing at the CBP commissioner's BS.
Shameful
“ not compliant “
Anyone remember: “ it’s coming right for us! “
Bottom line - they are unidentifiable, violate constitutional rights, and there are no consequences. It is un-American!
What's the point of even bringing these clowns in, when we all know nobody will answer anything
I bet they don't even know who these agents are.
We should be given these Goons a taste of their own medicine and see how they like it.
Defund ICE!
They know what’s going on they’re not gonna say anything that’s why they keep saying I’ll get back to you just to run out time and shut you guys down without an answer
No accountability? Time to stop paying taxes. Paying to hear "I can't answer that" on repeat...
They didn’t come to this hearing to provide answers.
Weasley, bloody little cowards - and when they say they will 'get back' about things - how do we know that they do?????
DEFUND ICE!
They are all monsters.
Absolutely spineless.
They all meet up unprepared
Incompetent Corrupt Evildoers
WE ARE IN DANGER
“Try to avoid it”. ?????? Covering up, covering up, covering up!!! That’s all they do
"They were not compliant" tells you everything you need to know about their state of mind on this issue. They don't see ANYTHING they are doing as wrong. THAT is the problem they refuse to see.
Ignorance is not an excuse in law
Good one!
I will have to get back to you😂
Just a bunch of pathological liars, on full display.
