00:00that's a classic example how collaboration between ice and and state and local law enforcement
00:13the success of the collaboration 27 trend dog with people are indicted
00:19I believe six are still outstanding we're looking for them but we send a strong message
00:26we're going to keep doing this to every TDA member MS-13 members who move from the country
00:31that was the first time we used RICO the underlying offenses were sex trafficking
00:37gun trafficking drug trafficking murder for hire we seized a lot of weapons and we rescued some
00:45victims of sex trafficking it was specifically important to me about New York Mayor Adams who's
00:52getting beat up by the left for cooperating with us look what look what transpired look at the lives
00:56we saved in New York City right at the same time you got the City Council found a lawsuit to shut down
01:03our memorandum of understanding the executive order he signed to get us in Rikers Island we proved
01:09yesterday what collaboration can do for the safety and security in New York but now the City Council
01:13wants to lock us out of Rikers Island with TDA and MS-13 isles so we can get custody of them before they
01:19hit the streets in New York it's just ridiculous and of course no City Council members at the press
01:23conference yesterday they don't want to hear the truth this is about open borders about sanctuary
01:27city sanctuary cities are for criminals and I salute Mayor Adams for you know writing that
01:33executive order to get get us in the Rikers Island I think we'll win that case I hope the judge who's
01:38going to hear that case saw the press conference yesterday and see the results of collaboration cops
01:42should be working with the cops I never asked New York City NYPD to be an immigration officer ask him to
01:48help us be cops working with cops to remove public safety threats and national security threats
01:53and terrorists from the streets in New York and from Rikers Island when they're done with
01:57their sentences that's exactly what we proved yesterday bad faith we removed an MS-13 gang member
02:14public safety threat wife beater designated terrorist from the United States he's home he's a citizen of
02:25El Salvador a native of El Salvador who had due process despite what you're hearing been order removed
02:31by two separate immigration judges the best that could happen for him if he actually came back to the
02:36United States he would be detained and removed again because he has an order of deportation and what
02:41people don't talk about the the withholding order they keep saying was the mistake or or oversight was
02:46issued years ago into different circumstances the the gang he was afraid what what what what what
02:52what attack him no longer exists the country of El Salvador is a much safer country because of the
03:00actions of President Bukele I don't think any court can order another nation a sovereign nation to take a
03:07citizen national their country in their custody and come back to us again I'm not attorney I'll let DOJ
03:13argue this in court what I think will remove the public safety threat gang member designated terrorists
03:19from the United States who have been ordered deported twice by federal judge I think he got his I got
03:25plenty of due process you got more due process in the lake and ryan again
03:29the administration there's the Supreme Court rather so the administration might facilitate
03:34his return okay will the administration facilitate his return I'm not I'll leave that with the Department of
03:43Justice and in the State Department I think I stand by we did the right thing for the safety and
03:48security of this country we removed the terrorists just like the two plane loads are that you know all of a sudden
03:55everybody said we violate a court order these are two plane loads of terrors that won't international
04:00orders again I'm not I'm not litigating the case I'm not an attorney I'll let DOJ handle it but again
04:04I think we're keeping President Trump's promise to American people who vote them in the office on
04:09number one issue secure the border and remove public safety threats and national security threats that's
04:14what we keep doing I find it I find it incredible that there's all this push for more and more and more
04:21due process more process for these designated terrorists when in fact no one asked for due
04:28process when they cross the border no one asked for vetting when they cross the border where was all
04:32the media where were allowed you all folks when 10.5 million people came to the border and you're
04:37silent where were a lot of these folks when they had 600% increase in sex trafficking women and
04:41children where was everybody we had a quarter million Americans dying from fentanyl that come that open
04:46border where's all the anger then where was all the press then but now they enter the country legally
04:53against legal process and now they demand legal process it's just it's just ridiculous how this
05:00has come full circle and I think President Trump's doing the right thing this country's much safer today I
05:05looked at numbers today we're about 68,000 illegal aliens arrested in the interior United States I have a
05:11lot more in Biden administration ever done ever thought of doing and a vast majority in being
05:16criminal alien threats this country's a lot safer New York City's a lot safer today because the
05:20operations we did up there arresting public safety threats and national security threats every time we
05:25arrest one of these people remove them the country gets that's much safer President Trump secured a
05:29border in a matter of seven weeks he today as I'm talking to you we have the most secure border in
05:34history of this nation a dad approves it he did in seven weeks what Biden administration couldn't or
05:39wouldn't do in four years this president is keeping his promise American people I'm happy I walk in
05:44there every day working for the greatest president of my lifetime because I spent over 40 years doing
05:49immigration enforcement and border security we've never been where we're at right now the most secure
05:55border in history of this nation right now lives are being saved every day migrant lives under Joe Biden
06:00over 4,000 illegal aliens died making this journey United States how is that humane that's a historic record
06:06and again a quarter million Americans diving fentanyl how's that humane they want to say our
06:10administration inhumane we're not giving due process we're saving the lives by the thousands
06:15every day the wall everybody's screaming yelling about the wall going up every place we build a
06:21border barrier illegal immigration went down illegal drug flow went down but you know no one talks about
06:25the wall saves lives women and children can't get over that wall so that means they're going to a place
06:30where there's not a wall and what's waiting on them the men and women the border to who's going to deal
06:33with all those health issues in a humanitarian crisis walls save lives the secure border saves
06:39lives president Trump saving thousands of lives every day by securing that border and we're going
06:43to continue despite what the district court says maybe we can hope maybe we got to hold off and
06:48some of the deportation operations we're doing but it's not going to stop us from seeking these
06:53people out arresting them and take them off the street to the United States while we wait for the
06:56courts to decide you know about the alien enemies act these other things we're going to keep doing what
07:00we're doing we're going to arrest these public states address every single day 24 seven across
07:04this country that will not stop tell us how many people have used CBP home to self-support
