EMILY COMPAGNO (CO-HOST): I think the biggest case here is for impeding federal law enforcement. Because everything that ICE agents are in the course of doing is their official acts. I think obstructing law enforcement -- that's usually, or obstructing justice, is usually sort of more procedural. But go ahead and try. At the end of the day, I think it's important to send a message that behavior is not without accountability. And I'm not quite sure why all the proponents for this, including CNN, who defended itself by saying, "Well, we were just merely reporting it." But it was pretty clear it wasn't just reporting it. They were huge advocates for this. 

GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): Breathless.

COMPAGNO: Yes. Why is it that for some reason they want people to have notice, and by people I mean the illegal immigrant that set the subway rider on fire, the illegal immigrant that raped the dead person on the subway, the illegal immigrant that killed Laken Riley or Jocelyn Nungaray -- her rapist and murderers. Why do you want to give those people notice when those victims have no notice. Laken Riley didn't get notice that there was an illegal immigrant lurking in the trees that was going to murder her. And the list goes on.

So I am sickened by this notion that not only is the app creator and the proponents and CNN calling for an additional vulnerability for these I.C.E. Agents that are already getting doxed and already getting attacked up 700%.
