Well, I think we should take a step back and talk about what does a sanctuary city mean?

So we're talking about Minneapolis, New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and we call them sanctuary cities.

What exactly does that mean?

A, it means that these sanctuary city politicians are harboring these criminal legal aliens.

But B, it also means that our law enforcement is not permitted to work with them.

And C, and this is the most important part, I think, for your audience, is that

That means ICE law enforcement is not allowed into the jails.

So if Chicago picks up a criminal legal alien, maybe they picked up somebody who was convicted of rape and that person is in their jail, they're not allowed to release them to ICE or coordinate their eventual release to ICE for eventual deportation.

What happens is that person will serve a certain amount of time and then they'll be released back onto the streets.

So the reason that we have

such a large law enforcement presence is because we can't go into those jails to target those criminals.

And so we have to really sweep the city and target them in place using intelligence, using our case analysis and make sure that we're going after these individuals.

So we've arrested, in just the last five weeks alone, 2,000 illegal aliens.

That includes child pedophiles, multiple, I would say, scores.

In fact, multiple murders, known and suspected terrorists, multiple gang members.

But we also, in Minneapolis itself, of course, we've seen a scourge of fraud, $9 billion.

But we think that that's just the tip of the iceberg.

So our Homeland Security investigators are

are on the ground there.

We've had about 300.
