knopwhere around the country can you find sump a diverse and unique range of capabilities. so these company, bair, eaton, including the national technology energy labs are beginning to collaborate more and more to bring some of the solutions we need in a very collaborative and strategic manner. some of of the things we've gn doing at the university of pittsburgh to bring these organizations together include events that help us to identify what the needs are in industry. not only from a educational point of view but from a research point of view. an event we hold in november, power and industry day, grown every year in the last four years and had over 1 ooh participants this year highlighted by eaton executive dave buck, with a keynote presentation. talk to companies together around themes for research development and also bring them together with all of our students hoo are studying in this area, which includes over 200 students right now in our undergraduate and graduate programs to interact and network with these industry organizations as they seek to plan out their futur

it can happen again but it is unique.e seeing another african-american candidate who was like a obama man or woman potentially could wind and could run. at the same time, can we get a black candidate who is considered a very robust lead dark skinned, who speaks in the cadences of the black community, i can that person win? right now, i would say no. they would turn off a large segment of the electorate. that is the true measure and test of the democracy when what henry reed was saying is the politics of realism how the electorate is shaped when somebody who was not light skinned or perceived as speaking as if he were not a black person could win an election. >> host: did you believe they will then would be elected before an african american? >> guest: it seemed as if senator clinton was poised and thinking of women around the country, they are ready for that. and a way it seemed as if that would happen especially because before barack obama arrived if we look at those landscape of the black elected political leaders it di

of course, along the way i had several unique challenges. some more unique than others. and i think don knows what i'm talking about in some respects. this book is about my almost 40 years as a soldier. plus four follow-on jobs post-army. i entered a segregated army in 1943. december. when i joined the army air corps enlisted reserves, still a senior at lauren marion high school, suburban philadelphia. my joining was the result of a former graduate coming back and talking to an assembly of students about joining the army air corps and wearing your silver and gold bars, that speaker was hep arnold, who graduated from lord marion in 1903. quotquite a few of the seniors, particularly the football players, took the battery of tests, and six of us were sworn into the army air corps enlisted reserves, on the 28th day of december, many 40 throw. -- 1943. he entered on activ active-dutye following july, following high school graduation, but none of us ever graduated from flight school. before leaving the subject of lord marion, let me do a little name dropping. by mentioning som

you got them there as well. >> this is a unique collection on this podium designed to talk about the issue that we believe this critically important, long term, to security and there is a clear correlation between secretary vilsack's trip and american security interests. here is an example of the whole of government activity which addresses the underlying issues then there is one more point that tom and raj did not make. we are working very closely with general mcchrystal and his team and secretary vilsack will see them. they have spent a lot of money on agriculture out of the cerp funds. verify the agricultural development teams, national guard from nebraska, texas and california, ms. surry and one other state that slips my mind right now. and, so that is directly related to security but your question for is another time. >> thank you and welcome administrator shop. i was wondering if you could talk about the regional countries and the neighbors in terms of how you are going to help afghanistan position itself as possibly an exporter. i understand in pakistan for existence-- and sin

. >> guest: i think he's been covered in unique and interesting ways. in terms of the politics of race race is always shuttling this presidency. specifically what i talk about in the book and write about this when the president tries to talk and address race as president of the united states, how the media has read those speeches in ways that differently than i would have, for instance there is an naacp speech the president gave last year in to those in line celebrating the 100th anniversary of the civil rights organization. and in that speech, he really does a couple of things. number one, he critiques african-americans who are not doing the right thing. people who are not taking their care of their kids, not promoting education for their kids but he also acknowledges that racism is still a huge part of the united states so he doesn't let me roll call of civil-rights activists but he talks about criminal justice systems and racial disparities and it's a well balanced speech. what was interesting is the reporting afterwards just says obama tells black p

i think it can happen again, but i also think it is unique. one of the things we are seeing is that another african-american candidate who is like obama, man or woman, potentially could win and could run, but at the same time can we get a black candidate who is considered very robustly dark-skinned, who speaks in the cadences of the black community, can that person win? right now, no. i would say no because they would turn off all large segment of the electorate. i think that is going to be the true measure and test of our transformation as a democracy when, again, but reid was saying, and reid was saying it in support. just the politics of realism about the electorate is shaped. somebody who is not l ight-skinned, not perceived as speaking as if he were not a black person could win an election. >> guest: did you believe that a woman would be elected before an african-american? >> guest: well, it seemed as if senator clinton was definitely poised. when we think about women around the country they are definitely ready for that. so in the way it

>> guest: broadcasting is in a unique place. broadcasting is a free service, but most of your viewers don't know whether they're watching a broadcast channel or a cable channel. cable channels are subscription channels, and you can get anything you want. any obscenity, even, that you may -- seen to the viewer or the indecent -- you can get anything you want on a cable subscription service. but when it comes to broadcasting, we have stewardship over the public airwaves and there are public responsibilities not to offend local community standards. there are fleeting exme tiffs, there are -- expletives, there are things which are said, wardrobe malfunctions, there are technological functions to these hiccups in broadcasting. there's the v chip, there's a rating system, there's five-second delays where you can dump stuff or bleep things. i would suggest that that is a better way to manage this than to regulate to the point where broadcasters just are unduly muzzled, but i would point out we're not in, we're not push being obscenity

i'm still talking about some of those unique challenges that we had. another interesting coincidence a search and charlie rangel was a member of the other black battalion and you have heard about charlie wheatley in good things and not so good things. from march 51 when i assumed command of company l ninth infantry my first company and a leader had to other companies until i retired in 1983 some 32 years later i was fortunate to have commanded every level of the army through core. my first job following the army came in january 1984 some five months after retiring at fort monroe where i was the deputy commander for training at trading command and was also task to be army inspector training as set up by a separate program. and by the way i had four jobs after leaving the army and in each of those jobs i followed someone who had been fired. that also makes for a challenging opportunity. the circumstance about why i took that first job which was subject to a dual compensation, that is no army retired falls and again that you need category. as some of you

>> broadcasting is in a unique place.free service, but most of your viewers do not know whether they are watching a broadcast channel or a cable channel. cable channels are subscription channels. you can get anything you want, and the obscenity -- you can get anything you want on a cable subscription service. when it comes to broadcasting, we have stewardship over the public airwaves. with the public airwaves, there are public responsibilities not to offend local community standards. there are fleeting expletives, things that are said, wardrobe malfunctions. there are technological functions with these pickups and broadcasting. there is a rating system, five second ladies were you can delete things -- 5 second delays where you can delete things. i would suggest that is a better way to manage things, rather than to regulate to a point where broadcasters are unduly muscle. we are not pushing obscenity, because under the rules now, if broadcasters wanted to be obscene, that could be after 10:00 p.m.. but you do not see lette

the other thing about us is unique is that we have to be like switzerland. we have nothing to do with offense anywhere. we focus only on defense, and we have to remain as neutral as switzerland. we have 240 countries around the world that we deal with, and territories, everything from the u.s. to syria, iran, north korea. everyone has some presence on the internet, and their relationship for their country is with icann. we have to stay very neutral and focus on security of the domain name system through and with our partners. it is a tricky game we have to play of staying in the middle. >> there are computer viruses and other types of computer attacks which are nothing new. they have existed since the beginning of the internet. it seems like they are getting more sophisticated and growing exponentially. what is your current assessment of the state of where things are right now in terms of the level of cyber illegal activity attacks, and the ability of the good guys to fight against that? obviously it is an up and down situation, but what is your sense of the

this is kind of a unique threat coming from this group. it's unique because the core group of al qaeda on the peninsula is formed by former gitmo detain knees. there's the influence of an american radical iman. these people have move an attack on the u.s. homeland to the top of their priority list. that is the root cause of what we saw the attack at ft. hood. why we saw the attack on flight 253. the final thing is that, you know, the yemeni government has limited capacity to deal with returning members from gitmo and the indigenous al qaeda elements in the country. i think that the increased assistance we're providing is absolutely essential. we need this connection between yemen and america and the brits if we're going to contain the threat. the good thing about what john brennan said this morning, it appears we're all on the same page. we recognize the threat. we're committed to enhancing the intelligence capabilities. the pressing issue coming up over the next few months is how do we deal with americans who have joined al qaeda and are

. >>> wilhide's unique flowers. look at this unique arrangement. what do you notice that is different this week? >> besides the bright red gerber daisies, those little candle holders. very touching. >> nice job wilhide's. >>> let's get to your money. think money. new year's day brought with it a tax break for the wealthy but may all cost us. the well known estate tax expired on january 1st, congress let renewing the tax slip through the legislative cracks. as abc2 news laura mark explains gone with the tax is $14 billion for the u.s. treasury. >> it seems to be on everyone's mind. >> reporter: andrew katzenstein represents some of america's wealthiest families. those families just got a big gift from congress. >> this - >> reporter: congress was too busy last year to get around to renewing the estate tax which takes a significant part of a large inheritance. so, on january 1st, the tax disappeared. >> somebody that died this year as opposed to next year with no change in the law could save 60% in value passing to their family. it's a huge number. >

the global policies for all 200 million internet domain names while names in the world have to be unique. we enforce that integrity to our partners around the world. we keep the master listing of all internet addresses where we have the allocation policies to distribute those internationally. the names and addresses and a system that links names and addresses of the internet works when you type in say c-span.org or you type in google.com. so you actually get to the right internet out stress. that's called the domain system. we hope to communicate that with all partners around the world. and finally, where the master repository for all the internet standards. they're called parameters and protocols they keep the internet together. there's over a thousand standards. those are developed by engineers around the world to the internet engineering task force for where the official publisher of that. so if names, network addresses, domain name system on in the standards and protocols. some of the good hope keeps the web in the internet together. >> host: how win-win did icann start? >> guest: is

what makes iranian-americans so unique? i'll start with you, azar. >> well, one of the unique things about america, actually, is that you can bring your past with you. so being an iranian-american, every nationality brings their own uniqueness and originality with them. i have always felt that being an iranian and an american at the same time i can constantly look at the two cultures through the alternative eyes of the other. and each of them gives me a fresh view of the other. and sometimes living in america the gift that one brings from iran is reminding this country of things that it takes so much for granted. >> and bobak, i had two guests on last night. one of them said they believed this was a civil rights movement with the likes of the civil rights movement here in the 1960s. do you agree with that? >> the civil rights movement, yes. i'll take this back to the founding of the constitution and this government. iranians feel like they have a chance to make a monumental change in their future by developing some kind of

the other thing about icann that's unique is we have to be like switzerland, okay? so there's cyber defense and offense. we have nothing to do with offense anywhere, okay? we can focus only on defense, and we have to remain as neutral as switzerland because we have 240 countries around the world that we deal with and territories. everything from u.s. to all the european partners to syria, iran, north korea, i mean, everyone has some presence on the internet, and their relationship for their country code domains is with with icann. so we effectively work with everyone in the world. so we have to stay very neutral and focus on supporting security of the domain name system through and with our partners. >> host: so it's a tricky game we have to play of staying in the middle. >> host: christopher rhoads. >> host: the computer viruses and other types of computer attacks, of course, are nothing new. they've existed since the beginning of the internet the, but it seems like they are getting more sophisticated by the minute and just the power of these things growing exponen

that presents a number of very unique and interesting challenges.the department of energy has just announced the start of rps, a institute to look into many of these questions. i would refer to some of the press releases on that project. i think our partners in the commercial sector are leading the whole ray of exciting new technologies. but one thing we talk about, commercial buildings we talk about cost and benefits is a range of studies that say employees in a green building are 2 to 16% more productive than they were in the previous building after a retrofit. so most organizations including the federal government is salaries. if you can get 2 to 16%, that is valuable. and that is something that can be returned as an investment to the organization, be it the public entity or private entity. we shouldn't forget that when we talk about retrofitting existing buildings. >> go ahead, nick. >> thanks, everybody. i'm nick with carbon control news. i was hoping to talk about the need for the carbon price. if i can get everybody to weigh in, to what exten

about history it's very hard not to see, very plainly before us, that this country is absolutely unique. you see, every nation has some claim to its purpose, some unifying quality perhaps an ethnic character of common religion or shared history. but our country is very different. it was founded at a particular time and a particular place by a particular number of individuals on certain truths and untruths grounded in nature and said to be self-evident. those were enshrined in the declaration of independence in the constitution which meant that i was was a revolution of principle rather than a claim of will which is a case for every other nation prior to america as often ruled by force. this is what is revolutionary about america. you see it very clearly between 1763 and 1766 between the french and indian war and colonies became generally independent in the british empire and 1776 when they declared independence. this punishment and a very unique situation separated by an ocean having come largely in search of their who religious freedom shipped by british constitutionalism, learning to

the global policies for all 200 million internet domain names, so all names in the world have to be unique. we enforce that integrity through our partners around the world. we keep the natural listing of all internet addresses. names and addresses, and the system that links them so that the internet actually works when you type in c-span.org. that is called a domain name system. we help coordinate that with many different partners around the world. finally, we are the master repository for all the internet standards. they are called parameters and protocols that hold the internet together. there are over 1000 standards, developed by engineers around the world. we or the official publisher of that. some of the glue that keeps the internet together. we are a nonprofit organization based in califni

that the way to do that is by giving people the platform to create their own content and their own uniqueays of using something. so with the iphone, the iphone would become obsolete or at least become identical to every other phone if they did not have applications. nowadays, that he wants the number one reason why people are picking iphones regardless of carriers and such, because it just has a bigger application data base. and so these companies need to make sure that they allow people to interact with their content and their products in unique ways. at the same time, they also all face the problem of monetizing. and so i think that facebook will be really interesting example of this, where they have a huge user base, they're dramatically growing, they have a lot of potential, but at the same time they need to make money through ads, and they're trying to get people to share more and more information. and with myspace, what ultimately happened was you didn't know who those people were. none of it was verifiable. you did not fn that person was 99 years old like they said at the time or i

for all those reasons, it is, in some ways, almost unique.k like many other kinds of services or goods that are out there. what i want to frame my remarks about is essentially looking at this question of water from a conflict perspective, but looking at it and saying how is water similar to a lot of other goods and services that are out there, and how does it relate in that respect? looking more narrowly at water from the standpoint of one of its more unique characteristics as a common pool resources, what does that do looking at it from the conflict perspective? lastly, looking more precisely at this question of the more unique characteristics of water from a conflict perspective. one of the other -- i also just want to stress, similar to professor hall, that i as a conflict expert was very pleased to see the extent to which this book really doesn't fully embrace what we would consider -- does fully embrace what we would consider to be the best practice with conflict sensitivity, conflict dynamics. the issue of assessment has already been me

that is a key element to understand this and kramer's role is unique. he opens a door to the nixon administration we have never seen before and it allows us to see things we have never seen before and how things were done to undermine the policies and in the end if you think about it and general haig is the ultimate cramer i eighth, if you buy that, then he should protect the president but he doesn't he does everything he can to make sure dickson does not survive. we have looked at lighthouse tapes after the smoking gun tape and we saw a time and time again haig gave a price that was detrimental. nobody else has reported on this it is clear nixon is guilty you will read that richard nixon was directing the cover-up march 19732 projected gordon strong who he had just learned was involved in the break-in. he was an aide to bob and therefore he believed that would lead to aldermen so therefore he was trying to concoct a phony report saying we will put a public to cover up the involvement. we have broad strokes i think it'll be interesting if you see the jo

we can't replicate -- it's a unique fund. it saves american lives. but there are specific things that we can do, and as you may have heard yesterday when secretary clinton talk about development, she talked about her frustration with these contracts and how we want to cut them out. i was under direct instructions from her and from the president to try to minimize these. because the contracts have long lead times. first you have to write a request for a proposal, then four our five companies or ngos bid on it. then they pick. and the whole thing gets really locked in, and two years after you fund it, people are carrying out a rigid format. and reporting that they're fulfilling it, and it doesn't adjust to local conditions. and these two countries are fast moving. let me give you an example which responds to your point. we had womens programs in afghanistan, about $33 million. they were all done through contracts. we eliminated the contracts, took -- which immediately saves 15% off the top. turned it over to the ambassador's, ambassador's fund for wome

they are very unique. that is what makes it an exciting and fun place to work. you have seen the videos about free meals and all that. it really is an engineering driven company. i work that places where they are doing their marketing research, this really is a unique company. it is very bottom up driven. the products come from the engineers. one engineers decided we could build a better e-mail system and management said that is a stupid idea. there are hundreds of e-mails out there but he felt passion about it and was given the freedom to work on it. projects like google books are the same way. someone is passionate about it. you are given freedom and resources to be

guest: i will say it is a unique situation. are very few when you can bring a solution to a congressman, whether they are concerned with national security, environmental issues, or green jobs. of course, right now, it really is about how we invest in this economy to employ people in the medium and long term. host: you suspect there will be stepped up demand for these type of vehicles? guest: i think there is enormous demand for them. for now, we think that the demand is going to get explosive depending upon the very volatile price of oil. we want to be ready for that demand as we go forward. and people are excited about the vehicles. you see that at the auto shows, too. host: next up is pennsylvania, democrats line. caller: in the 1980's i sort of an aftermarket forfirm through d motors. we converted rangers to basically all electric. there was a study that came out of california at the end of the 1990's -- i believe, calif. -- that said that the total cost of the electric vehicle verses gast was approximately 25% of it. in oth

when they are unique institutions, you are essentially giving them high leverage which i would contendvery dangerous subsidy. whatever happens, they should have the same capital requirements as anybody else that is doing business with them. if you have lower capital requirements, what happens is, you arbitraged across the mortgage market and you drive literally trillions of dollars of mortgages to replace or leverage is highest and government ownership is weakest. then in may and freddie mac essentially doubled in size every five years. -- fannie mae and freddie mac essentially doubled in size every five years because of that the nominee. only when you make capital standards equivalent across institutions can reduce that dynamic. the second problem with a gst is that they live or die according to their charter providing get congress to tell me that i could get lower capital and higher leverage and my competitors, that is worth more than knowing anything about the marketplace. if you read the g s e annual report, they talk about political risk. they hire their ceo's to manage political

comes to us from wfla news channel 8 in tampa, florida, where a set of twins will forever share a unique story. they weren't born on different days or years, but different decades. the mother went into labor new year's eve. march cello came out in 2009 and his brother born a one into 2010. how about that? >>> i'm lynn berry, and this is "early today," just your first stop of the day today on your nbc station. [captioning made possible by constellation energy] >> a cold and blustery condition this week. we're going to be seeing as our highest temperature all week long the upper 30's. today we're going to be well below that. below freezing yet again. a clear start to the day, but we are going to see the clouds thicken this afternoon. we're in the 20's right now, but that's somewhat deceiving because the winds are gusty, 15 to 20 miles an hour. the real feel temperatures, feels like nine in westminster rite now. the wind chill in downtown, 12. 14 out at the airport. the wind chill in easton, 1313 degrees. bundle up. details on maybe some snow coming up. >> 4:57. here's a look ahead. >> the

and for all those reasons it is in some ways almost unique. but in many other ways, it does in fact look a lot like other kinds of services are goods that are out there. and so i want to frame my remarks around is essentially looking at this question of water from a conflict perspective, but looking up from saying how is water similar to other goods and services out there and how to stipulate in that respect? looking more narrowly by water from the standpoint of one that is more unique characteristics of a common pool resource and what does i do in terms of looking at from a conflict perspective? and liability more precisely this question about some of the more unique characteristics of water from a conflict is. one of the other also just want to stress again similar to professor hall is that i is a conflict expert was pleased to see the extent to which this book really does in fact take full -- a fully embrace or do what we consider currently is best practice when it comes to thinking about conflict sensitivity, conflict and in the current is

, and his music, which was unique. the three finger roll that was brought by the bango to make -- banjo to make that music better. it is my honor to recognize this giant who was one of the first three that became a member of the hall of fame in 1991 and it's fitting he did then. it's fitting that we here today honor this giant of bluegrass music. i yield back my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from utah is recognized. mr. bishop: thank you. after hearing the eloquence of the gentleman from tennessee i am embarrassed to admit the only time i think of -- when i hear lester flatt's name i think of beverly hillbillies. with that i yield to the gentleman from north carolina, mr. coble. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from north carolina is recognized. mr. coble: i thank the gentleman from utah for yielding. i appreciate that. you are on the money. "the beverly hillbillies" were a vig role they played. lester flatt. earl scruggs and the foggy mountain boy

when falcon was there, it was the most unique thing that happened. was showing them the back and all of the sudden falcon was missing. mayumi said where is falcon. the boys looked around. we didn't find falcon. he had climbed into some, past our lattice and gone in under the foundation and he was hiding. i just -- look, i'm a little bit off-track for your question, and the question is, why do i believe it's not a hoax. because mayumi has told me we did not lie. i believe mayumi. >> larry: one other thing to you, rupert, why did he plead guilty do you think? >> i think it's a difference between the chance of having the felony charge and the misdemeanor. i think in his particular case he just wanted it behind him, i think. i can't speak for richard on that. >> larry: he's making the case here tonight that he's innocent. >> i know, if in fact the deportation was a threat, and if the chance of being accused of going to trial for a felony as opposed to a misdemeanor and deportation was an alternative, he wanted it out of the way as fast as he could. >> la

the dichotomy between the case i referred to -- speaking for myself, i do not think spectrum is uniquelycarce. i don't see any particular justification for a set of affirmative regulations for broadcasters as opposed to regulation of every other provider that they can regulate in this way. this indecency comes in unbidden, and there is a pervasiveness and intrusiveness to it, and you cannot run away. once you have heard words, you cannot unhear them. there is more to those arguments then to the spectrum scarcity argument. you can read tea leaves as well as i can. it is not up to me, but i focus more on the weakness of the red lion argument. >> a question on administrative law. the fcc has been experimenting with commenting on blogs. there was a complaint from civil rights groups that the commission waived its sunshine agenda of requirements that prohibit third-party initiated communications the last week before they actually vote on something. does that seem like a reasonable argument to you? people do not -- people who do not haveÑi internet are being disenfranchised more by the attempt

we've taken unique measures, and president not to be the measure on u.s. unemployment we could get unemployment down more quickly and save social security benefits and get the economy growing more quickly and visibly more unemployed to have the more it costs you the less unemployed you have, the more you can actually reduce your deficit and get people back to work that will and money themselves so we recommend we would have a major savings as a result of the lower unemployment we managed to achieve because the measures we've taken. i think it's all going to come back to this. we are determined to maintain the momentum for growth in our economy and jobs. we are not going to be put off course by people shouting what is necessary to cut the deficit today. we have a four year deficit reduction plan that means we will have the deficit over that for your period. but those people for political dogmatic reasons got it wrong right across the recession and get advice that was completely mistaken about what we should do on getting it wrong again and we cannot take th

i felt very unique. very caught in between. two groups. like two sides.was a time period that was -- i felt internally that perhaps i was destined to marry someone who was white rather than african-american. >> the first part of your book is a different section. the first is called straddling the sand. how did you come to grips with your identity as an african-american growing up in a predominantly white area of philadelphia? >> it was tough. i still wrestle with the impact of the time period. i grew up with very good friends of mine, great friends in that time period, numerous stereotypes about african-americans and i internalized that. both my parents worked which was unusual in that time period. a dual income family. tenth grade rolled around and i opted out of the public school system and went to a private school and had my first contact with african-americans. my first girlfriend in tenth grade was african-american. i had to leave and go someplace else and work on my identity. >> what do you think it means? what is an african-american? >> today? >> o

we already have 4 million among the unique visitors of the davies. and 41 million page views a month. a huge audience in a very short time, like a year. at vanity fair where i was editor for eight years, it took us all of that time to build an audience of 1.2 meg a month. for "the new yorker" took us a tremendous full on effort to get 250,000 extra sales. here we are online after only 30 months and we have 4 million very devoted readers, so is excited you that you could connect like that. and also, i think there is a real audience for more intellectually engaged subject matter. you know, that these kind of range is high and low. it has very smart brainy pieces and also fun and frothy piece that it's a high level of a list writing going on and yet it is attracting a big audio. i am finding it very exciting. >> where did you come up with a name, the daily beast? >> the daily beast is a very bookish time because it's ashley the name of the newspaper in the famous comic, scoop which is all about the world of crazy beast and journalism in the 1950s. i've

some of our immigration powers are unique. we are the unique detainer. we are the unique prosecutor in immigration proceedings. many of our powers are not. for example, cbp nci as ol put immigrants in the removal proceedings and as you know by far the largest number of immigration returns are carried out by the united states border patrol. so how then has eyes come to be that defined largely in terms of simple immigration enforcement? i think for several reasons. first, civil immigration enforcement is a national topic eliciting very strong and often conflicting feelings and emotions and the media, on the hill and in the public. too many it is an issue that calls for significant national discussion and reform. few people feel that way about criminal law enforcement. the coverage of i.c.e. in the major newspapers such as the "new york times" and the "washington post" almost always focuses on our detention and removal efforts. finally something as simple as immigration comes first in our name. it is immigration and customs enforcement, the customs part ten
