RUSH EXCERPT:

FONTES: “Yeah. Well, yeah, not only do we prosecute folks for being non-citizens and voting or attempting to vote, but we prosecute folks for a bunch of other things.

So, you know, hey, secretary noem and Mr. President, send me the list of names that we can fix our rolls with. Let’s be partners, not scare people into thinking that we need to lock down some sort”
