Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio, news. We have been talking with Congresswoman Nicole Maliotakis about the issue of immigration specific to border enforcement for years now. And now we're getting to this place in time where it's very interesting to hear from members of both sides of the aisle when it comes to enforcement in cities like Minneapolis. She's representing, of course, New York's 11th District. Congresswoman, it's great to have you back on Bloomberg. Good to see you.
Nicole Malliotakis 1:00
Good to be with you. Thank you.
Joe Mathieu 1:01
So, let's go through a couple of these things. We'll run through this list of demands. How do you interpret the President's remarks? Because it hasn't necessarily signaled a change in policy. Is it a change in approach on any level for you?
Nicole Malliotakis 1:14
Look, I think the president and the administration recognizes that the tactics that ICE was using have not been popular, regardless of where you sit on the spectrum. I think people who wanted to see strong border control enforcement, we achieved that, right? There's no more border crossings. People are not being released in the country. The border has been secured. Municipalities like mine who had migrant gangs and drug traffickers and criminals wreaking havoc, that has been cleaned up. Those individuals are being deported. But I think when they see the aggression of ICE, there is a concern there. And now ICE ICE has really no choice but to go in the municipalities and fine these perpetrators. Why? Because these local municipalities are not cooperating.
Nicole Malliotakis 2:05
New York City is not cooperating. Minneapolis is not cooperating. We used to be able to have ICE in Rikers Island, and they would take the criminals directly from there upon release from jail and go into federal custody. Bill de Blasio unfortunately changed that. This mayor wants to continue having that policy of no cooperation. And so ICE has no choice but to go into these cities and find these individuals, which makes it less safe for the officers, for the community, for the immigrants. But I should remind people, when they were in Minneapolis a couple weeks ago and this happened, they were arresting immigrants. two murderers who had orders of removal going back to 2013 and 2015, a guy with 24 criminal convictions, a guy who was convicted of sodomizing a 12-year-old girl.
Nicole Malliotakis 2:49
So these are real criminals they're going after. And unfortunately, when they don't get cooperation, it makes it less safe for everyone.
Joe Mathieu 2:55
So what do you think of the contours of this debate? We've been spending time this week with a number of Republican senators, John Cornyn, Ted Cruz, Ted Budd, largely opposed to what Democrats are offering, specifically when it comes to demasking. That seems to be a real flashpoint here. And I know that there are worries about officers being targeted, being doxed and so forth. But when you look at This list, this is a lot more lengthy and a lot more detailed than I think a lot of Republicans saw coming. We've been dealing with kind of four buckets, masks, body cams, warrants, and training. This goes a lot further. When we talk about targeted enforcement, DHS cannot enter a private property without a judicial warrant.
Joe Mathieu 3:37
No masks, require ID, protect sensitive locations, stop racial profiling. Uphold use of force standards are these controversial or could they end up in a piece of legislation?
Nicole Malliotakis 3:49
I think a lot of them actually will hinder their ability to do their job Which is to actually get these individuals aside from the body cameras body cameras.
