She's not fighting for American victims. And I'd like to lay out the facts. The fact that it was these three members of Congress who trespassed, broke the law and stormed that ICE detention facility. They put law enforcement at risk. They put our detainees at risk and they put our staff at risk. Had they asked for a tour, we would have happily facilitated one for them.
But there was absolutely no notice. And the fact that they put hands, they body slammed, body rammed, push, shove, whatever you want to call it. It was assault on our ICE agents and it's unacceptable.
Vince, thanks for having me.
Absolutely. We almost have full operational control of the border. That's in just about 100 days under President Trump and Secretary Noem. We got about 95% border crossings down. And Vince, what does that mean for the American people? Not only does it mean that we don't have masses of illegal immigrants trying to flow into our country, but it also means that our border patrol is
has more resources and they weren't stuck at these processing center processing people and instead they're actually able to go out go after the bad guys go after the drug traffickers drug mules human traffickers and cartels that are trying to infiltrate our country
Yes, gotaways have absolutely plummeted. I think that the world is just really hearing the message of President Trump and Secretary Nome that you need to stay out. And if you don't, we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will deport you.
Yeah, Vince, just to set the scene here, we've made about 150,000 arrests since January 20th, and we need more bed space. And unfortunately, we reopened Detainee Detention Hall, and that's where this scene really went down. We've seen multiple protests here, but I think the American people should know who actually is detained in this detention facility. It's MS-13 gang members.
It's known terrorists. It's rapists, murderers, child abusers. These are the worst of the worst that are being held in this detention facility.
And yet there have been multiple protesters, including Friday, really things got out of hand as multiple members of Congress and the mayor stormed the detention facility gate and actually got to the first security checkpoint, breaking the law, but also trespassing. So there was an arrest by the mayor.
And then those members of Congress, we've also revealed body cam video of them body ramming, body slamming, striking law enforcement officers, pushing, shoving. It's really unacceptable behavior for members of Congress, but to anyone who is assaulting a law enforcement officer.
Everything is still on the table, Vince. I'm going to leave it to the Department of Justice to make any announcements there, but we take the safety of our law enforcement incredibly seriously. If any civilian had attacked a law enforcement officer or stormed a detention facility, they would be facing justice.
Vince, I'm not sure if you saw this either, but there was an ambulance that was trying to get into the facility because somebody was suffering a medical issue. And that ambulance could not actually enter the facility to get that person the help that they need. And I would love to ask these protesters, Who do you want out of this detention facility?
Is it the MS-13 gang members, the child rapists, the murderers? Or what heinous actor do you want out of here? Because President Trump and Secretary Noem are trying to lock these heinous actors up who are terrorizing American communities. And why do you want them out back onto American streets to hurt Americans?
Yeah, about 75 percent are convicted criminals.
We've actually gone even farther. Just last week, we announced a new program where these illegal aliens, they are not only offered free flights to leave the country, but also a $1,000 stipend to restart their life in their country of origin. So we are really giving the incentive for them to leave now.
And that's going to save American taxpayers about 70% because in arrest and deportation per person, per illegal immigrant, costs about $17,000 versus through this program, it would be about $4,500 per illegal alien. But the alternative for these illegal aliens, if they don't take that $1,000, take that free flight and self-deport. Now, the alternative is they will be fined $1,000 a day.
They will be found, they will be arrested, they will be deported, and they will never be allowed to return to the United States. So we are hoping to see these self-deportation numbers go up, but right now we're in about the thousands.
A few weeks ago, you saw Operation Tidal Wave out of Florida where we were deputizing state and local law enforcement to make these immigration arrests. And we're going to continue to do that around the country. You're seeing that right now in Massachusetts and in Houston. You're going to see that more widespread. So I think that those are just a preview of what's to come.
So really, the safest option, not just for our law enforcement, but also for these illegal aliens, is to leave now. Take advantage of the United States taxpayer generosity and get out of here so you have the possibility to return the legal right way and maybe come back and live the American dream.
They have hamstrung ICE officers, I will absolutely say that, but we're working hand in glove with the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to see what repercussions can be made. These sanctuary cities have become a safe haven for these very vicious gangs like MS-13, like Trend de Aragua, that maim, rape, and kill Americans for sport.
