00:00
I'm here or commit crimes here. That is my number one job.
00:03
But what is happening is un-American.
00:04
Chair, I recognize Mr. Timmons from South Carolina.
00:07
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
00:08
Governor Hochul, the difference is that the millions of Americans that came through Ellis Island did so legally.
00:13
I'll yield to my friend from Georgia, Ms. Green.
00:18
Governor Hochul, are you a Democrat? Yes or no?
00:22
I'm a proud registered Democrat, yes.
00:24
Did you support Joe Biden for president?
00:27
Yes or no?
00:28
Yes, I did.
00:30
Did you support the Biden administration's policies for the past four years?
00:34
I raised my concerns in many meetings with the administration's about how the border was being enforced.
00:39
And so I raised concerns.
00:40
So you just stated, I'll reclaim my time.
00:42
You said you're a proud Democrat.
00:44
You supported Joe Biden for president.
00:47
Clearly, you supported the Biden administration's policies.
00:50
I supported many of them.
00:51
Governor Hochul, did you swear an oath to faithfully uphold New York's constitution and laws?
00:57
I certainly did.
00:58
In 2017, New York became a sanctuary state when Governor Cuomo signed Executive Order 170.
01:06
This states, it directs that no state officers or employees, including law enforcement officers,
01:12
shall disclose information to federal immigration authorities for the purpose of federal civil immigration enforcement,
01:19
unless required by the law.
01:21
Do you support this law as governor of New York?
01:24
Yes, this pertains to civil enforcement.
01:26
So you do enforce sanctuary policies of New York?
01:30
I support supporting, helping law enforcement when it comes, and ICE when it comes to-
01:34
I reclaim my time.
01:35
You support sanctuary policies that have led to the horrific murder of people, Americans.
01:44
This, Fox News got it wrong.
01:45
It should say monster.
01:47
Arrested in broad daylight rape of a 13-year-old in a New York park.
01:52
This girl was raped at Knife Point in the park near New York Mets Stadium.
01:59
That's your state, Governor Hochul.
02:01
New York Post also got it wrong and called him a migrant.
02:03
That's a monster.
02:04
Busted in brutal beating of New York PD cops in Times Square are members of bloodthirsty Trenday Aragua gangs.
02:13
That's your state where you support your sanctuary state laws.
02:18
Also, Governor Hochul, do you recognize this image where a homeless woman was burned alive by an illegal alien monster?
02:26
Where you uphold the laws to protect these monsters in your state,
02:32
and then you force the New York citizens that pay taxes to pay for these people.
02:36
This is the result of your sick and disgusting, treasonous laws that you uphold as governor.
02:45
New York is not a sanctuary state for criminals.
02:46
I didn't recognize you, Ms. Hochul.
02:47
This is my time.
02:49
Do you know the name Lakin Riley?
02:52
Do you know the name Lakin Riley?
02:54
Yes, I do.
02:54
Oh, you do.
02:56
Jose Ibarra murdered 22-year-old Lakin Riley.
02:59
He's an illegal alien monster from Venezuela, convicted of 10 charges.
03:04
He was first arrested by the Biden administration that you stated that you support.
03:09
Joe Biden for president, right?
03:11
Proud Democrat, Governor Hochul.
03:13
First arrested at the border and released by the Democrats that you support.
03:18
Then, guess what?
03:20
He made it to New York because the Biden administration flew illegals all over the country,
03:26
and your state was one that accepted them.
03:28
He lived at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Queens, an upscale hotel that was turned into an illegal
03:35
alien shelter at the taxpayer's expense.
03:38
Two million a month went to this hotel.
03:42
The second time he was arrested was in the state of New York for endangering a child.
03:47
But he was released quickly before ICE could even issue a detainer.
03:52
Because you support those laws, Governor Hochul.
03:54
Then, he flew, look at this, this is shocking.
03:59
He flew from the state of New York to my home state in Georgia, and you all paid for it.
04:06
Because, why?
04:07
Because it was re-ticketing, and that was the little gift that you were giving my state
04:13
by sending monsters there.
04:15
Cost the state of New York $5 to $10 million a day to feed and house the illegal.
04:20
Are you smiling at me about this?
04:22
No, I'm not.
04:22
You look like you got quite a smile on your face.
04:24
No.
04:25
Because I can tell you people...
04:25
The gentlelady will not...
04:27
This is my time, reclaiming my time.
04:30
I'm thinking about...
04:30
Don't attack the witness.
04:31
Don't you dare smile about the murder of Lake and Riley.
04:34
I'm thinking about her parents.
04:35
The third time...
04:36
Don't question how I look.
04:37
Don't question how I look.
04:37
My heart is breaking for her parents.
04:39
My time, Governor Hochul.
04:40
The third time he was arrested was in the sanctuary city of Athens, another Democrat policy.
04:46
And then he went on and attempted to rape Lake and Riley and murdered her.
04:52
He murdered her.
04:54
Let me explain something to you.
04:56
Let me explain something to you.
04:58
This little girl right here, she would be alive today if you weren't such a treasonous governor
05:06
supporting sanctuary laws in the state of New York.
05:10
This little girl would be alive today, and her mother very much would like for her to
05:17
be alive.
05:20
This is outrageous for anybody, anybody in this country to support for non-citizens to be able
05:31
to come in our country, be able to travel wherever they want, and then make taxpayers pay to house
05:38
them, feed them, and then give them a plane ticket after they had been arrested in their
05:44
state.
05:45
That's what you did.
05:46
You are responsible for the murder of this little girl, Lakin Riley, and the Department
05:53
of Justice should prosecute you for her murder.
05:56
Objection.
05:57
Objection.
05:58
I don't care how much you object, and if you support it too, you're responsible for her murder.
06:03
All right.
06:04
I yield back, Mr. Chairman.
06:05
On a point of order.
06:06
On a point of order.
06:07
On a point of order.
06:08
On a point of order.
06:09
On a point of order.
06:10
On a point of order.
06:11
State your point.
06:12
Mr. Chairman, these witnesses have been here for over four hours.
06:13
They've all voluntarily have been engaging with our members with respect.
06:16
They've all treated our members with respect.
06:19
Lakin Riley is dead forever.
06:22
Forever.
06:23
Forever.
06:24
They can sit there all day.
06:26
I'm in my time.
06:27
Reclaim in my time.
06:28
State your point.
06:29
I'm trying to.
06:30
No, no, it's a point of inquiry, not a debate.
06:34
Our rules, if you would let me speak,
06:38
our rules of decorum dictate that our witnesses should be treated with respect,
06:42
and I ask you to enforce decorum and remind committee members
06:46
to treat our witnesses with respect.
06:48
Our members are treating the witnesses with respect.
06:52
This is not a courtroom.
06:54
We engage with the witnesses, and I think everybody's acting within the realm.
06:58
We haven't cried and screamed when you all are criticizing the current president,
07:03
even though that's in the rules.
07:05
He's not criticizing.
07:05
He's in a treason and breaking the law and how they look.
07:07
All right.
07:08
Mr. Chairman.
07:10
If you win the chairmanship, if you all flip the house,
07:13
you win the chairmanship, then you can do what Ms. Crockett says she's going to do
07:17
and try to impeach Trump again or whatever you all say.
07:20
Mr. Chairman, is there any chance you would yield me 30 seconds to just respond
07:24
that we are heartbroken what happened to her family?
07:26
Lincoln Riley should be alive today.
07:28
And I'm so sorry for what happened to her.
07:31
I truly am what happened.
07:32
But this has nothing to do with our civil enforcement of the laws.
07:35
We are always cooperating with criminal investigations,
07:39
always have, always will.
07:40
So misstating our policies is not serving the purpose of making sure we have
07:44
meaningful policies that will actually move the dime.
07:47
Why aren't we working together to come up with meaningful immigration forms,
07:51
secure our borders, do vetting at the border?
07:54
We're going to go back.
07:55
Okay, Governor, with all due respect, there was no – the policy of the previous
08:04
administration was an open border.
08:06
It was an open border.
08:07
You all supported that.
08:08
Now you're saying we need –
08:09
Point of order, whose time is it?
08:10
You were saying you –
08:11
No, I mean –
08:11
Point of agreement, whose time is it?
08:12
Mr. Costello-Cortez, I will recognize you because I like you.
08:17
Thank you so much, Mr. Chairman.
08:18
I appreciate that.
08:19
Here's the – the border was open and you all said nothing.
08:26
All right?
08:26
Now you said we had to pass legislation.
08:28
We didn't have to pass legislation.
08:30
Donald Trump secured the border on the first day.
08:31
Now, there's no question you all have been obstructing and criticizing and failing to work
08:40
with this administration in trying to apprehend the criminal illegals.
08:43
That's what this hearing is about.
08:44
It's not about theater.
08:47
It's about trying to get a consensus on working with this administration to deport the criminal illegals.
08:53
We do it every day of the week, Mr. Chairman.
08:55
We do it every day of the week, Mr. Chairman.
08:56
Not defend all the people who are over here illegally to deport the criminal illegals.
09:00
We do it every day of the week.
09:02
If it's out of order, I'm going to let Mr. Costello-Cortez state her point, and then we're going to go to Ro Khanna.
09:07
Oh, we can – we can continue.
09:08
I was just curious whose time it was, but we can proceed.
09:11
Mr. Chairman, I have a unanimous consent request.
09:14
Okay.
09:15
I'd like to seek unanimous consent to enter into the record this tweet.
09:19
It just happened, stunning.
09:20
Senator Alex Padilla from California was just forcibly removed from the news conference, being held by –
09:26
Without objection to order.
09:27
You just have to state the title.
09:29
Go ahead.
09:30
This is the title.
09:30
Mr. Lynch.
09:31
Share that as Mr. Lynch.
09:32
All right.
09:33
Mr. Chairman, I have a unanimous consent request.
09:36
This is from MSN.
09:40
Unquestionably in violation, judge says U.S. government didn't follow court orders on deportation.
09:47
The next one is from Rolling Stone.
09:48
Trump has now deported multiple U.S. citizens, children with cancer.
09:54
Without objection to order.
09:55
And this is New York Times, L.A. deployments of the military to cost $134 million in the last few days.
10:04
And lastly, Secretary Hegseth will not commit to obeying the court's order on Marines.
10:13
And this is New York Times, L.A.
