When you have in your jail, in your detention center, an illegal migrant who's also been charged with some other crime, when a detainer is sent there from the federal government saying just, hey, if you're going to release this guy, let us know.

Give us a call.

We'll come pick him up there at the jail or at the detention center and

But instead, they say, no, we're going to release him to the streets.

And 17,000 times that we know of, bad guys were released to the streets in one year's time, 2025, and many of them went out and did crimes.

I mean, one guy was released, and the very next day he killed an individual who was under a detainer.

So until we address that, I don't know how you solve this because that whole policy creates this environment, this framework.

where you get the bad things that have happened, the tragic things that happened, like we saw up in Minneapolis.

Great point.

And we're going to try to help them by passing legislation out of our committee next week.

which would address that fact and say, no, no, federal law preempts.

And if you have a state that says, let's say you've got a county in California that says, no, we're a conservative, our sheriff, we want to work with federal law enforcement in the situation I just described.

We want to work with them.

And they say, well, no, no, you can't do that because of state law.

We want to be able to say, no, if that county sheriff or that county jurisdiction wants to work with the federal government, they can go ahead and we will step in and represent them and defend them if, in fact, the state comes after them.

So that's part of what we want to pass in our bill next week, not to mention if you're one of these states,

and you have sanctuary city policies, there should be some ramifications in the federal funding that comes in certain grant programs to your state.

And then finally, we want to put in the bill as well.

If you're a family or an individual who's been harmed by someone who was let out, who should have been not released to the streets, but released to ICE, if they let that individual out and they do something harmful to you or your family, you have a private right of action.

That's the only way I can see that we can address this problem and deal with what
