pro-illegal immigration groups took the obama administration to court and took secretary jeh johnson to court and reinterpreted the flores settlement and said, no, you can't detain a child even if they're accompanied by their parents. so the obama administration faced a real decision. should we detain the parents and release the child into hhs custody. they chose not to do that except in some situations where they felt that was a real family unit and those parents may be a danger to that child. you can see that the result of that basically, catch and release is what that resulted in. you can see the numbers started increasing prior it to president trump taking office. if you remember, president trump during his election made the open border, that catch and release a huge issue in the campaign. and so when he got elected, again, the world noticed. they felt there was going to be a real crackdown on illegal immigration, and they stopped coming. there was a huge reduction from the end of the obama administration to when president trump first took office. but unfortunately, the law didn'

joining us now is former homeland security secretary jeh johnson, who is also now a partner at paul weiss. so mr. secretary, thanks for being here. >> thanks, ana. >> what do you make of this decision to delay? and just the fact that this is where we are with the first cabinet secretary to be impeached in about 150 years. >> it's a political charade. there are no high crimes and misdemeanors here. even conservative legal scholars have said this is not about high crimes and misdemeanors. it is a political charade. we are politicizing a constitutionally prescribed process for impeachment and conviction, and the fact that they've taken so long to get this to the senate indicates a real lack of urgency. republicans in the house, if they're really concerned about border security, they would have embraced the compromise that jim langford and chris murphy negotiated for border security. it is a pro, very strong border security bill that addresses the way the asylum process works. it adds more border patrol agents. it puts in place a new emergency authority in case the numbers reach a certain lev

also with us, jeh johnson and ramesh ponnuru. katie, i want to start with you. three presidents raised more than $25 million. will it make a difference? actually, they raised 26 million, and i was texting with the campaign to get final numbers and it does make a difference. it's more than $6 million more than trump raised last month with the whole month of february. so it makes a difference because they are going to pump that money back into battleground states. i think you mentioned nikki haley at some point on the show, but they're using that money to target voters who are open to anyone but trump, so basically the campaign's point is we're going to use all this money we're raising on voters, which is different than how the trump campaign will use their money. >> jeh, you know president biden and former president obama. is obama going to be a big presence on the campaign trail? what are you expecting? >> good question. for the, you oversee the secret service for three years, you notice things. and i watched the two of them get off air force one, and obama's fo
