I know I'm running I'm running out of time.
1:08:14
But what are you doing to proactively monitor sanctuary city laws, including detainer request laws?

This is what's on everyone's mind.

You know, I I I don't know and I can't say yet whether that's something we're gonna be looking at.
1:08:36
We're certainly currently in the process of familiar familiarizing ourselves with the applicable local laws, the policies, our own policies in the first instance, and then, you know, looking closely at what's going on around the city.

This is obviously, you know, a very new issue.
