Transcript
00:00Do you have a quota of migrants you want to arrest per day? A quota. Pardon me? Do you have a quota of migrants you want to arrest? I don't have any quota. I want to arrest as many public safety threats and national security threats as possible. I'll arrest when every public safety threat illegal animals are removed from this country. And for those who question a 3,000 day saying it's an unreasonable number, do the math. We'd have to arrest 7,000 a day every day for the remainder of this administration just to remove those who by administration releasing the country illegally.
00:28Tom, the vice president is attacking Microsoft for firing Americans while still applying for H-1B visas. What's your message to companies that are doing just that?
00:37Look, it's illegal to hire illegal aliens as far as that. That would be a question for Joe Adelow over CIS. They handle the visas. And again, on the borders, I'm an apportionment guy. I'm in the export program, not the import program.
00:50Is there any concerns that are on the dock, sir?
00:53Jay?
00:53Is Gilmar Obrego Garcia on public safety threat?
00:55Yes.
00:55Can you give us a question on the self-deportation numbers?
01:00Last time I looked, over 6,000 going through the CBP home app. But according to numerous studies, there's over 1 million self-deportations since President Trump took office, which is a great thing.
01:09Is there any concerns?
01:11The lowest murder rate in history, how much do you contribute to lock down the border and lower the overall murder rate?
01:16A lot. A lot. We looked at numbers this morning. ICE has over 150,000 arrests in the interior, most of them criminals.
01:23Every criminal ICE arrest makes the community much safer. That's what President Trump's committed to.
01:28President Trump wants a better, safer America, and that's exactly what men and women ICE is doing every day.
01:33And let me say this about the attacks on ICE. I want you all to remember. ICE agents are mothers and fathers, too.
01:38They don't hang their heart on the hook every day when they come to work. I'm sick and tired of the attacks on ICE. President Trump's sick and tired of it.
01:46You're impeding an ICE officer, you're going to jail. You throw a stone, you're going to jail.
01:52If you interfere with the enforcement, you're going to jail. We're done. We're done playing the game.
01:58We're going to enforce the law. We're going to make America safer. And we're going to do it with no apologies.
02:01Tom, you mentioned the Iranians, sir. Tom, you mentioned the 300 Iranians.
02:05Tom, you mentioned the 300 Iranians.
