First, there's no definition of violent criminals.

You know, that's sort of one of those terms that some libertarian think tanks have created that CBS News picked up on.

But even then, CBS News reported that more than 400,000 individuals have been arrested by ICE since Inauguration Day 2025.

Do the math and you'll see that that means that 56,000 violent criminals, 14 percent of 400,000 were taken into immigration custody.

But and, you know, this is one big thing that I faulted the author of that report for.

The author of that report is very familiar with the Lake and Riley Act, which I talked about before the Lake and Riley Act.

specifically tells ICE that it has to go out and pick up three categories of nonviolent criminals.

Shoplifters, those who have engaged in theft, and those who have engaged in larceny.

Remember,

The killer of Lake and Riley, Jose Ibarra, had a criminal record, but it was for shoplifting in the United States.

It wasn't for attacking nursing students in broad daylight.

And the idea that Congress had was pick up those low-level criminals before they commit to higher-level crimes.

But they never mentioned the Lake and Riley Act.

The other thing, Mike, is they never mentioned the sanctuary policies again.

More than half of all aliens unlawfully present in the United States live in sanctuaries.

If ICE had the ability to go into every California jail in the California state prison system, they'd be too busy arresting and processing criminal aliens from the Golden State alone to do anything else.

But they can't.

They can't go into the state prisons or the county jails in New York.

They can't go into the Chicago jails.

prison system.
