Let me say this.
If the message we send is you can enter this country illegally, it's a crime.
Don't worry about it.
You can have your due process, show up in court, not show up in court, get ordered to move.
Don't worry about it.
Unless you commit a serious crime, you're good to go.
If that's the message we send to the world, you're never going to fix this problem.
In my meetings with folks so far, and most importantly, the governor and the AG, the Mayor Fry, we didn't agree on everything.
I didn't expect to agree on anything.
One thing we all agreed on
U.S.
Immigration Customs Force is a legitimate law enforcement agency that has a duty to enforce the laws enacted by Congress and keep this community safe.
Like I've said many times for the last several years, even before this administration, jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities are sanctuaries for criminals.
Sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals and endangers the residents of the community.
We will conduct targeted enforcement operations, targeted strategic enforcement operations.
Sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals and endangers the residents of the community.
To be clear, we did not agree with Minnesota state and local officials that they would be involved in immigration enforcement.
I didn't ask them to be immigration officers.
I'm asking them to be cops working with the cops to help us take criminal aliens off the street.
What we did agree upon is not to release public safety arrests back in the community, and they could be lawfully transferred ICE.
