WILLIE GEIST: So, Joe, Karl Rove writing about something that we've been talking about a lot: overreach. The promise of immigration, sealing the border, and getting rid of, as the President said, murderers and rapists has now become getting rid of day laborers at Home Depot, having masked men at schools and daycare centers to get people out of the country.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: On the overreach on immigration, I've said it for some time -- why the President can't just say the Southern border is secure -- "we win" -- and compare the Southern border in his year to what Joe Biden's averaged over four years. That's a win. He's never going to get the numbers. He's never going to get the numbers regardless of what Stephen Miller or anybody else says in the White House that Joe Biden got deporting immigrants because there were a lot more here by the border.
But he will cause grave damage to his presidency and to the Republican party if he really does believe, as he said on 60 Minutes this past weekend, that he doesn't think these seizures and this treatment of immigrants that caused the Pope and archbishops across America and the world to condemn it. He doesn't think those have gone far enough, that's, well, first of all, that's a real problem on the human level of course.
I mean, yesterday you actually had ICE agents raiding a preschool -- ICE agents raiding a preschool and grabbing a teacher, abducting a teacher in that preschool --grabbing her and taking her out. I wonder how that plays in Peoria. Not good. I wonder how that plays with young voters who fled the Republican party as quickly as possible a few days ago.

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: And several families in Chicago say they are horrified after armed ICE agents pulled a teacher out of a daycare in front of young children. Local officials say the agents entered the daycare yesterday morning and removed the teacher while the young children, parents and staff were present watching. One local official called the arrest "violent" while one of the parents described the situation as heart-wrenching. In one video taken at the scene, the woman who was arrested can be heard telling authorities in Spanish that she had papers.
ICE did not immediately comment on the incident, but a Department of Homeland Security official later said it all stemmed from a failed traffic stop involving the teacher and another man, saying the pair fled into the daycare and tried to barricade themselves inside, quote, "reckless and endangering children." The man's status remains unclear, and we'll continue to follow this.
