For any mayor or governor who doesn't want public safety threats removed from the communities, I find it hard to believe that. But we're going to do it, with or without them. If they're not going to help, get out of the way. But don't cross that line. Do not impede our operations.

This is not a game. When we show up at these sites, this is a dangerous job for the men and women of ICE and Border Patrol and all the DOJ agencies. To have that type of interference puts our officers at great risk. Not only the officers, it puts the aliens at great risk because anything can happen when we take our eyes off the goal here. So we're addressing that immediately today.

I've gotten hold of it. Won't let it go. We'll look into it. And if he's knowingly harboring, concealing an illegal alien, that's a violation of Title VIII United States Code 1324, I will seek prosecution, or the secretary will seek prosecution. So maybe he's bluffing. If he's not, we'll deal with that.

No, I think we're beyond 4,000 as of today, but I don't have the exact numbers with me. But look, you said it right. We're operating throughout the country, concentrating on exactly what you said, public safety threats and national security threats. And there's some collateral arrests, but that's what you got to expect in sanctuary cities. We can't arrest a bad guy in the jail.

We got to go to the neighborhood and find him. If he's with others, others that may not be a criminal priority, but they're in the country legally, they're coming too. So we've arrested a lot of bad guys. A lot of public safety threats are taken off the streets. So Chicago, New York, Denver, they're all safer cities today because of what ICE and numerous agencies, right?

We've got DEA, FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshals, HSI, ERO. So a lot of these cities are safer today, but we're not done. We're just getting started.

Exactly right. Look, ICE is really good at this. These people don't want to be found, but there's ways to find them. I can't speak to the specifics because the law enforcement is sensitive, but they could have found these people last year, but the administration simply tied ICE's hands. And first time in the history of my career, starting back in 1984, ICE had handcuffs on them.
