They were never used under Biden, but they haven't been used as much as we should be using them to lean on these countries. So we just, you know, they can't just dump all of their criminals and dissidents and everything else on our doorstep.

Right. The groundwork has to be laid through a public relations campaign for how this is going to be messaged and make sure people understand why it needs to happen.

Well, this also could be a big problem for the Trump administration because as we saw in the first Trump term, the sanctuary jurisdictions became very, very recalcitrant and obstructive and painted this narrative of an overzealous immigration enforcement. And so they started passing laws that forbid local law enforcement agencies to cooperate with ICE.

And what that does is it necessarily means that the criminals that ICE is trying to get for removal are going to be released back to the streets and they end up committing more crimes. There's a couple ways to address it. I think one way is what has been tried, and that is to, since most of these sanctuary policies are in place for political reasons, they're not going to change.

They think they get a benefit from that, even though it's a problem for public safety. So what you have to do is either start withholding certain federal funds from these jurisdictions that don't cooperate, certain federal law enforcement grant programs.

You just have to say, look, if you're going to block our federal agents from getting custody of criminal aliens directly from the jails, then you're just not going to have access to grants for... certain law enforcement agencies in your state or in your city. And that did work to change certain jurisdictions.

Like, for example, Miami-Dade County in Florida said, well, we don't want to lose that money, so we're going to start cooperating with ICE again. So there will be some that come around like that. With others, you may have to file lawsuits.

I think in other places, again, a public relations campaign on the part of ICE by saying, look, this week, the New York City Police Department released these criminals who we were trying to deport. And if they commit a crime, now you know why. It's because your own police department released them. And I think that kind of public attention to what's really going on could work really well for ICE.
