00:00The administration, or the Supreme Court, rather, says the administration must facilitate his return.

00:06Okay.

00:08Will the administration facilitate his return?

00:10I'm not, I'll leave that with the Department of Justice and the State Department.

00:15I think, I stand by, we did the right thing for the safety and security of this country,

00:19we removed the terrorists.

00:22Just like the two plane loads, all of a sudden everybody said we violated a court order.

00:27These are two plane loads of terrorists that won't international orders.

00:30Again, I'm not, I'm not litigating the case.

00:32I'm not an attorney.

00:33I'll let DOJ handle it.

00:34But again, I think we're keeping President Trump's promise to American people who vote them in the office on the number one issue,

00:40security of the border, and remove public safety threats and national security threats.

00:44That's what we keep doing.

00:45I find it, I find it incredible that there's all this push for more and more and more due process,

00:53more process for these designated terrorists, when in fact no one asked for due process when they crossed the border,

00:59no one asked for vetting when they crossed the border.

01:01Where was all the media?

01:03Where were a lot of you all folks when 10.5 million people came to the border and you're silent?

01:07Where were a lot of these folks when they had 600% increase in sex trafficking, women and children?

01:11Where was everybody when we had a quarter million Americans dying from fentanyl that come to that open border?

01:16Where was all the anger then?

01:19Where was all the press then?

01:21But now, they enter the country legally against legal process, and now they demand legal process.

01:28It's just ridiculous how this has come full circle.

01:31And I think President Trump's doing the right thing.

01:33This country's much safer today.

01:35I looked at the numbers today.

01:36We're about 68,000 illegal aliens arrested in the interior of the United States.

01:40A hell of a lot more than the Biden administration ever done, ever thought of doing.

01:43And a vast majority of them being criminal alien threats.

01:47This country's a lot safer.

01:48New York City's a lot safer today because of the operations we did up there.

01:51Arresting public safety threats and national security threats.

01:54Every time we arrest one of these people, remove them, the country gets us much safer.

01:58President Trump secured a border in a matter of seven weeks.

02:01Today, as I'm talking to you, we have the most secure border in the history of this nation.

02:05Dad approves it.

02:06He did in seven weeks what the Biden administration couldn't or wouldn't do in four years.

02:10This president is keeping his promise to American people.

02:13I'm happy.

02:14I walk in here every day working for the greatest president of my lifetime because I spent over

02:1840 years doing immigration enforcement and border security.

02:22We've never been where we're at right now.

02:24The most secure border in the history of this nation right now.

02:27Lives are being saved every day.

02:28Migrant lives under Joe Biden.

02:30Over 4,000 illegal aliens died making this journey to the United States.

02:34How is that humane?

02:35That's a historic record.

02:36And again, a quarter million Americans died in fentanyl.

02:38How is that humane?

02:39They want to say our administration is inhumane.

02:42We're not giving due process.

02:43We're saving lives by the thousands every day.

02:46The wall.

02:47Everybody's screaming and yelling about the wall going up.

02:49Every place we built a border barrier, illegal immigration went down.

02:53Illegal drug flow went down.

02:54But you know what no one talks about?

02:56The wall saves lives.

02:57Women and children can't get over that wall.

02:58So that means they're going to a place where there's not a wall.

03:01And what's waiting on them?

03:02The men and women in the border.

03:03So who's going to deal with those health issues in a humanitarian crisis?

03:06Walls save lives.

03:07The secure border saves lives.

03:09President Trump is saving thousands of lives every day by securing that border.

03:12And we're going to continue, despite what the district court says, maybe we got to hold

03:17off on some of the deportation operations we're doing.

03:20But that's not going to stop us from seeking these people out, arresting them, and take

03:24them out the streets to the United States while we wait for the courts to decide, you know,

03:27about the Alien Enemies Act, these other things.

03:29We're going to keep doing what we're doing.

03:30We're going to arrest these public states and trust every single day, 24-7 across this country.

03:34That will not stop.

03:35That will not stop.
