00:00Mr. Miller, has the administration had any conversations with President Bukele to potentially move Garcia to another country, since that seems to be the issue at large?
00:11The President of the United States, Rob Bukele here, you all heard from him himself.
00:16His view is that this foreign terrorist is a citizen and subject of El Salvador,
00:22and Bukele's view is that it is his decision as the President of El Salvador,
00:27what happens with his own citizens who are lawfully residing in his country, who have been returned to his country.
00:34And so I have nothing to add to the subject of what El Salvador wishes to do with one of its own citizens,
00:39but it's important to note that the gang that the deported individual claims, or claimed previously,
00:49that he was going to be persecuted by in El Salvador, no longer exists.
00:52It does not exist in El Salvador. The 18th Street Gang does not exist in El Salvador.
00:56So that fake pretense for not wanting to be deported has been completely removed in a remedy,
01:02and no longer exists as a matter of law or reality.
01:05I just want to tell you one story while you're off here that I think is very important.
01:10To illustrate for you the genuine evil of the last administration's immigration policies,
01:15that for whatever reason, our corporate press in this country never really cared to cover and certainly elicited no outrage,
01:25no emotion from this country's political and ruling elite.
01:29But this, by the way, is not an isolated instance.
01:31This is the kind of thing that we discover not only every day, but every hour.
01:35This illustrates how inhuman the policies were of the previous administration and how many thousands of lives we were saving
01:44by upholding and enforcing our laws.
01:46So there was a 14-year-old girl that we discovered who was trapped across the border in the previous administration,
01:55stolen from her family in her home country.
01:57The Biden administration made no attempt to return her to her home country or to return her to her family in her home country
02:05or to reunify her in any way with her family in her home country.
02:09Instead, they resettled her in the United States with a so-called sponsor.
02:15That so-called sponsor, all funded by our taxpayers, this entire procedure funded by taxpayers,
02:21that so-called sponsor was himself an illegal alien.
02:24So subject to himself, removal and deportation.
02:27Again, the Biden administration did not deport the sponsor, but handed the girl over to the sponsor.
02:32The sponsor claimed to be that girl's brother.
02:36He was not a factor brother.
02:37The Biden administration, of course, did not attempt to verify this in any way, shape, or form,
02:41as they did not for the hundreds of thousands of minors that were placed in the hands of illegal aliens.
02:47They know they were being lied to.
02:48They didn't care they were being lied to.
02:50This individual was an illegal alien who had no familial relation with this young girl.
02:55What happened next will not surprise you, although it will sadden you.
03:00He raped the 14-year-old girl and impregnated her.
03:03So the Biden administration took a young girl, took her away from her family, brought her into the United States,
03:09resettled her with an illegal alien 26-year-old adult male,
03:12subjected her to rape and what anyone would describe as torture.
03:16So the young girl was tortured and raped and impregnated as a result of the choices made by the Biden administration.
03:22When this case was brought to the Biden administration for prosecution,
03:26they turned it down and did not even prosecute the case.
03:30So it's evil on top of evil on top of evil.
03:33And I am just, I am not interested in moral lectures from anyone in this country,
03:41whether they be in the media or the Democrat Party or the corporate press,
03:45about immigration policy when the left has been complicit in the greatest crimes against humanity
03:52that we have seen in God knows how many years in this country.
03:56A system that has turned human beings into fodder for the cartels
04:01and participated in the mass rape and exploitation of children and the mass murder of Americans.
04:07That's what we're fighting against, that level of evil and depravity.
04:12And if you are weak or soft or passive in the face of evil, then you will be conquered by it.
04:17And this country will be conquered by it.
04:19And we will not be a free country anymore or a safe country.
04:22We'll be a country ruled by cartels and gangs and terrorists.
04:26That's the stakes.
04:27Those are the stakes of what we are doing right now.
04:28Time for one more question.
04:29Mr. Mayor, I want to ask you about, you mentioned Bukele and the fact that Garcia is now in El Salvador's custody.
04:36But the question is, has President Trump expressed any interest at all in seeing Garcia move to a different country?
04:42Or would he want him to stay in El Salvador?
04:45Did he discuss that with Bukele or any of his advisors, specifically with immigration?
04:49Well, the Supreme Court has been abundantly clear when it overturned the lower court's ruling that the foreign policy of the United States cannot be compelled by district court.
05:00The view of our administration has been very clear and consistent that this man is a subject and citizen of El Salvador.
05:09And El Salvador, as a sovereign country, has informed us repeatedly and publicly that it is their desire and intention to retain custody of him.
05:17And, of course, we, as a U.S. government, cannot forcibly retrieve them against the witches of El Salvador.
05:23Of course, again, as we discussed at some length in these settings, if we were to forcibly retrieve them, the irony would be is that because he's here illegally and has a deportation order,
05:33he would simply be deported a second time back to El Salvador because the withholding order that has been so much discussed is no longer valid or enforced because he's a member of a foreign terrorist organization
05:43and because the fake claim that he completely fabricated about being persecuted by a rival gang no longer exists.
05:50The gang itself no longer exists in the country.
05:52I'll take one more question.
