And in your testimony, you talked about the enforcement you've done in the past two months.

Can you talk in a broader sense about how many inspections of immigration service providers the agency has done annually since 2022?

So going backwards since 2022 we've done over 600 inspection of ISPs.

We did not conduct any in 2022.

We did 44 in 2023, '30 '2 in 2024, and five forty one this active headcount of 87 in our enforcement division that does include also our operations and admin folks, but I would say about 32 are actively out there on this and other issues since some are specific to tobacco enforcement or petroleum inspections?

I would just note that about 18 of those 87 have been assigned to other operations, the sheriff's task force for example, or the mayor's office of assessments.
