Alrighty, So, during the twenty sixteen and twenty 10 00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:37,880 twenty four election cycles, Donald Trump promised to end catch 11 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,719 and release. This obviously lost him the vote of sports 12 00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:46,240 fishermen all over the country. No, this is about the 13 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:55,799 immigration practice where you allow illegal immigrants that you apprehend. Obviously, 14 00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,000 the godaways they got away, so you did not apprehend them. 15 00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:05,000 But if you apprehend them, then you would allow them 16 00:01:05,079 --> 00:01:09,439 to be released. That's the release part of catch and release, 17 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:16,159 while their cases go through the administrative courts. And well, 18 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,959 unless they are a flight risk, then you would keep 19 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,959 them detained. Although under the Biden administration, I don't think 20 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,439 they thought anybody was a flight risk. So even though 21 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,120 people were fleeing literally their own countries, but okay, the 22 00:01:32,359 --> 00:01:38,920 absconding rate is constantly high though. In other words, they 23 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,040 don't appear, they don't come back for their court appearance. 24 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,040 The result of that has been millions and millions of 25 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,400 illegal aliens that have been absorbed into the country. And 26 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,359 when you have Democrats in control, they don't ever fund 27 00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:03,359 the clearing out of these cases. They don't dedicate resources 28 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,200 to go and find the people to rearrest them, bring 29 00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:11,319 them into the court, run them through their process, and 30 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,360 then deport them if their asylum claims are bunk, and 31 00:02:17,319 --> 00:02:19,759 most of them and when I say most, it's somewhere 32 00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:21,479 in the neighborhood of I think the last stime I 33 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,840 saw was somewhere around eighty to ninety percent of the 34 00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:29,719 asylum claims are bunk, and so the courts say, no, 35 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,439 you're not actually in fear of your life or in 36 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,919 fear for your life, so we're going to send you back. 37 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,599 Which is why once they get caught and they get 38 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,400 their notice to appear and then they don't appear like 39 00:02:43,439 --> 00:02:46,800 that's why they don't appear is because there was really 40 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,240 no fear of them ever being picked up and being 41 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,479 brought back and then being told they have to go 42 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,680 back to their home country, but now the opportunity for 43 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:02,800 bonding out is closed. Ed Morrissey, the founder of hotair 44 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,919 dot com, writes about this today over at the website 45 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,400 hot air dot com. He says, ICE will now detain 46 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:18,240 all illegal border crossers for the duration of their case 47 00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:23,319 without exception. So if you get picked up at the border, 48 00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:27,639 you're going to be held until you appear in front 49 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,199 of a judge. That's it. No more being released. Here's 50 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,000 how the Wall Street Journal reported it, though, quote the 51 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,240 Trump administration is attempting to make millions of immigrants living 52 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,560 in the country illegally once again. Like here is the 53 00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:48,759 Wall Street Journal. It's just illegal alien. Save yourself, like 54 00:03:48,919 --> 00:03:52,360 five words and some you know, half a column inch 55 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,879 here and just say illegal alien. And by the way, 56 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,879 these immigrants that they're talking about, they're not living in 57 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,759 the countrygally. They just crossed in. They don't even have 58 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,639 an address, they have no home, right, they've just arrived. 59 00:04:06,719 --> 00:04:09,000 You pick them up at the border, you're putting them 60 00:04:09,039 --> 00:04:13,479 into the detention facility. So they're not immigrants living in 61 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,079 the country illegally. But once again another example of the 62 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:25,519 obfuscation of reality based on choices that media and Democrats, 63 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,279 But I repeat myself that they make in these vocabulary 64 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,600 changes that they make in order to advance their agenda. 65 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,519 So back to the peace. The Trump administration is attempting 66 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:42,000 to make millions of illegal aliens ineligible to be released 67 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,199 from detention on bond as they fight their deportation cases. 68 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,079 According to an administration official familiar with the matter, So 69 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:58,160 here's an unnamed source. The move marks a significant departure 70 00:04:58,519 --> 00:05:03,160 from decades of practice when immigration judges had the latitude 71 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,319 to release someone from detention on a bond if they 72 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,639 were not deemed a flight risk. By the way, I 73 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:17,199 remember Republicans and back then even some Democrats complaining about 74 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,879 the catch and release program. This would have been twenty 75 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,079 five years ago. They were complaining about this. I went 76 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:31,680 to town hall meetings with congress people who were being 77 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:37,600 berated by their constituents for the catch and release approach. 78 00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:42,319 This has been part of the immigration debate for twenty 79 00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:48,360 five years. Immigration law states that all immigrants in the 80 00:05:48,399 --> 00:05:53,399 country illegally must be detained while their fates are decided. 81 00:05:54,519 --> 00:05:57,240 That's what the law is. You are to be held 82 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,360 and then you are to be adjudicated, and then you 83 00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:05,560 are to be either released or you are to be deported. However, 84 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,959 with limited beds available in the ice jails, the government 85 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,879 had considered the law effectively impossibly to enforce. Right, So 86 00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:22,040 you get the game here, right. If you don't build 87 00:06:22,079 --> 00:06:28,319 the beds, then you can keep releasing the people. And 88 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,759 when you overwhelm the system and you don't have enough 89 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,000 beds to begin with, then you don't even never go 90 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,079 and pick them up. You never bring them back in. 91 00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:40,959 If they just disappear into the fabric of our society, 92 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,319 well we'll never know, and we won't have any resources 93 00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:47,199 to go get them, and we can't schedule them to 94 00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:50,639 appear in a timely manner because we're so overwhelmed by 95 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,040 all of the millions and millions of people that have 96 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,240 been allowed to come in, particularly in the last four years. 97 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,800 Ed Morrisy goes on to say later in the piece, 98 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,319 most of those inside the US who could be impacted 99 00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:08,439 by this policy change are already absconders. So people who 100 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,160 did not show up to court, they had a date, 101 00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:15,560 they did not show and so that means they are 102 00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:21,480 already subject to arrest and detention. That's already the law. 103 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,600 So this policy is not aimed at the existing population 104 00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:28,480 of illegal aliens. It's aimed at those who want to 105 00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:32,680 try entering the US illegally now and in the future. 106 00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:38,920 That's what this policy does. It sends a message, It 107 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,639 sends a signal. And this is one of the things 108 00:07:41,639 --> 00:07:44,240 that the left and the media and I repeat myself again, 109 00:07:44,279 --> 00:07:48,360 but they never talk about this, which is the messaging 110 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,879 that goes out to the rest of the world. And 111 00:07:52,959 --> 00:07:55,680 if you're as sending the message that the borders are open, 112 00:07:56,079 --> 00:07:58,519 and if you get here, you'll stay and we won't 113 00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:01,079 do anything to get rid of you, and you'll even 114 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,399 be able to get some benefits, and if Democrats have 115 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,519 their way, you'll even be able to vote here. Meanwhile, 116 00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:09,800 you'll be able to send remittances. You'll be able to 117 00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:12,319 send money back to your family and friends back in 118 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,879 your home country, and that's not taxed. Like these are 119 00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:19,519 rational decisions that people in the other countries are making 120 00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:21,360 to come here and take advantage of this. If we 121 00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:24,120 are foolish enough to offer this kind of a system 122 00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:27,600 to anybody on the planet, then anybody on the planet 123 00:08:27,879 --> 00:08:30,920 is rationally going to take advantage of that offer. And 124 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,039 so now the policy is changing. Now, no we are 125 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,159 going to enforce the law. And the message is going 126 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,960 out clearly. It's a signal. There's no way to avoid 127 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,919 making the inside, to avoid making the inside of a 128 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,879 detention center the sum total of your entire experience of 129 00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:54,879 living in America under these circumstances, if you cross that border, 130 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,320 we're going to catch you, because they're catching them now, 131 00:08:57,639 --> 00:09:00,679 we're going to catch you. And once if we catch you, 132 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,919 you're going to stay in a detention facility until you 133 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,720 are adjudicated, and then you're head and home. That's going 134 00:09:06,759 --> 00:09:09,759 to be your experience in America, and you then cannot 135 00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:12,360 come back. If you try to come back, you're in 136 00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:15,879 even more trouble. You can't even apply to come back 137 00:09:15,919 --> 00:09:22,120 if you get caught. That sends the signal do not come, 138 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,039 which is what Kamala Harris told everybody that's where that 139 00:09:27,039 --> 00:09:31,600 that was her plan. Don't come, remember like that was 140 00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:33,440 the extent of it, like, and nobody listened to her 141 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,799 because all of the incentives were aligned for them to come. 142 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,679 You know, stories are powerful.

Visit creative video dot com going 161 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,399 over the hot air dot com piece by Ed Morrissey. 162 00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:50,480 The name of the piece by Ed Morrissey is chu changes. 163 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,120 I don't know if he has a stutter or something, 164 00:10:53,159 --> 00:10:57,440 but Trump ends catch and release bonds for illegal immigrants, 165 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:06,039 so illegal crossings have dropped by over ninety percent year 166 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:11,440 over year, delivering on one of Trump's biggest political promises 167 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,519 and giving him the biggest political win I would submit 168 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:20,440 so far. Some of the numbers the US borders are. 169 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,759 Tom Homan put out a tweet he called it the 170 00:11:23,799 --> 00:11:28,960 Trump Effect. Total border patrol encounters. These are just encounters 171 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:36,159 for the entire month of June, last month, six thou seventy. Okay, 172 00:11:36,799 --> 00:11:41,000 that is less in an entire month. That's sixty seventy. 173 00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:48,039 That is less than a single day. Under Biden, It's 174 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,200 less than half of a single day. The total number 175 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,799 of counters is less than half of a single day 176 00:11:54,879 --> 00:12:02,320 under Joe Biden. Under Biden's term, you saw ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, 177 00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:09,559 fourteen thousand encounters every day, and of those sixty seventy, 178 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:15,000 the six thousand and seventy encounters, zero were released into 179 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:23,440 the US. That sends a message. Here's Bill Malugin on Twitter. 180 00:12:23,639 --> 00:12:29,039 Bill Malugin is a Fox reporter. Customs Border Patrol reports 181 00:12:29,639 --> 00:12:33,159 June was the lowest month of illegal crossings ever recorded 182 00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:36,679 at the southern border, with just sixty thousand, seventy two 183 00:12:36,759 --> 00:12:41,080 for the month. The Biden administration routinely had sixty or sorry, 184 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,960 six thousand in a single day, CPB reports, or it's 185 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,600 a six thousand plus in a single day. CBP reports 186 00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:52,639 zero releases of illegal aliens into the US and June 187 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,120 compared to twenty seven thousand, seven to seventy six a 188 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:02,399 year ago. So we went from almost twenty eight thousand 189 00:13:02,759 --> 00:13:07,559 people released into the country during the month of June 190 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:13,559 last year to zero released this year. CBP says June 191 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,120 was the second month in a row of zero releases 192 00:13:17,159 --> 00:13:22,159 of illegal aliens at the southern border, and CBP calls 193 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,799 it the most secure border in history. I'd say that's 194 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,840 pretty good. That's a pretty big victory. Then there's this, 195 00:13:32,039 --> 00:13:35,720 as Ed Morrissey writes at hodair dot com, the One 196 00:13:35,799 --> 00:13:39,919 Big Beautiful Bill Act, or the oh Bah Babbaba as 197 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,080 I like to call it. Congress injected more than one 198 00:13:43,159 --> 00:13:46,039 hundred and seventy billion dollars into the Department of Homeland 199 00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:50,440 Security to bolster border related functions. Much of those funds 200 00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:55,279 will go to expand ice detention capacity, going from forty 201 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,759 thousand to one hundred thousand capacity, and other funds will 202 00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:06,240 ex span the capacity of the administrative judges handling these cases. Finally, 203 00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:13,399 finally again twenty five years. People have been clamoring for 204 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,360 this on the right. I don't know where the lefties 205 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,519 are on this now. They used to be for border protection, 206 00:14:19,559 --> 00:14:21,440 Now I don't know what they're at. Now. They're just 207 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:26,159 open borders because it'll destroy America, I guess. But more 208 00:14:26,279 --> 00:14:31,960 judges speed up the process, greater capacity at the facilities. 209 00:14:33,159 --> 00:14:35,840 While some of that detention and process capacity could be 210 00:14:35,919 --> 00:14:40,000 used for absconders, the people who got released already, who 211 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,840 are found and then detained, most of it will likely 212 00:14:42,879 --> 00:14:46,879 get used for quick turnarounds on new border crossings, making 213 00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:50,399 their U turns a lot quicker and entirely more certain. 214 00:14:51,399 --> 00:14:54,879 It's the combination that between these two approaches that makes 215 00:14:54,919 --> 00:14:58,320 it work more. As he says, even one hundred thousand 216 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,000 beds would not have been enough, while over one hundred 217 00:15:02,039 --> 00:15:05,600 thousand crossed into the country each month under Joe Biden. Right, 218 00:15:06,879 --> 00:15:09,840 so even if you just increased capacity when Biden was president, 219 00:15:09,879 --> 00:15:12,039 you would not have been able to turn them around quickly. 220 00:15:12,399 --> 00:15:16,399 Don't forget Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, the bill that they 221 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,120 said that they had to have that Donald Trump tanked right, 222 00:15:21,559 --> 00:15:23,639 that they oh, we had a bipartisan deal, and Donald 223 00:15:23,639 --> 00:15:25,840 Trump called them up and said, don't you pass that bill. 224 00:15:26,879 --> 00:15:31,480 Their bill would not have put any emergency measures into 225 00:15:31,559 --> 00:15:35,759 place until the number of illegal border crossers went over 226 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,080 twenty five hundred a day, which is seventy five thousand 227 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,960 a month, which still would have made no bond policies. 228 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,559 In other words, the release policy would have made it 229 00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:50,440 impossible to undo. You would have had to release this 230 00:15:50,559 --> 00:15:55,840 many people because the trigger for declaring an emergency was 231 00:15:55,879 --> 00:15:59,360 too high, which is why Trump and Republicans opposed it. 232 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,200 At six thousand a month, a bed capacity of one 233 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,039 hundred thousand should be pretty effective as long as DHS 234 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:11,080 hires enough administrative judges to process the cases expeditiously. Now, 235 00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:16,960 all that being said, it'll take years, maybe decades, to 236 00:16:17,159 --> 00:16:20,360 fully deal with the damage already done by decades of 237 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,440 lax enforcement into four year period of open borders chaos 238 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:30,320 from the Biden regency. So keep that in mind. You 239 00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:32,879 have to have a realistic view of this. But at 240 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,360 least now people come across, they're going to get detained 241 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,080 and they're going to get sent back home. All right, 242 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,919 if you're listening to this show, you know, I try 243 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,720 to keep up with all sorts of current events, and 244 00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:44,799 I know you do too, and you've probably heard me 245 00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:49,080 say get your news from multiple sources. Why well, because 246 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,759 it's how you detect media bias, which is why I've 247 00:16:51,799 --> 00:16:55,120 been so impressed with ground News. It's an app, and 248 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,279 it's a website and it combines news from around the 249 00:16:58,279 --> 00:17:00,960 world in one place, so you can compare coverage and 250 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,920 verify information.

So when 263 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:51,599 when discussing the illegal immigration crisis okay in America, and 264 00:17:51,799 --> 00:17:54,920 this is also true in other countries of the West 265 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,279 that have thrown open their borders as some you know, 266 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:04,920 virtue signal of suicidal empathy or something. It's important to 267 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,160 remember that there are different categories of people that are 268 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,319 attempting to come across the border. And what the left 269 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,920 likes to do and the media that I repeat myself, 270 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,519 what they like to do, is to always focus on 271 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:24,400 economic migrants, shall we say, people who are coming to 272 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,359 make a better life for themselves here in America or 273 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,720 in some other Western society. Maybe they get in they're 274 00:18:31,759 --> 00:18:35,680 here as a child with their parents, and then they 275 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:42,000 you know, grow up in this society. They they become successful, 276 00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:45,440 they run for mayor on a platform of how terrible 277 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,720 America is, like what's happening in Minneapolis and in New 278 00:18:48,759 --> 00:18:52,519 York City. More on that later. But there are other 279 00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:55,079 types of people that do come across the border. And 280 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:59,680 I've talked about this for years, various reports out of 281 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,880 the Dare Gap down in Central America, this really harrowing 282 00:19:04,599 --> 00:19:10,680 connection point where it's like jungle and densely forested and stuff, 283 00:19:10,759 --> 00:19:15,440 or would that be densely jungled, I don't know. And 284 00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:19,880 there are like these pitstop areas, these base camps and 285 00:19:20,519 --> 00:19:23,720 where people it's where you know, groups of people they 286 00:19:23,759 --> 00:19:27,599 meet up with the smugglers, the human traffickers and stuff, 287 00:19:27,599 --> 00:19:30,160 and they make their payments and they go up across 288 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,000 the border. And there have been numerous reports over the years, 289 00:19:34,039 --> 00:19:41,160 many of them about certain categories of people, like military 290 00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:47,319 aged men from China, right, that are on their way 291 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:54,119 to America through Central America. Why why are they killing 292 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,519 chickens and drinking the chicken blood which is something that 293 00:19:57,759 --> 00:20:02,119 members of the Chinese military forces due as some sort 294 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,599 of like initiation deal or whatever. Those are. Those are 295 00:20:06,599 --> 00:20:09,759 some reports. And then there was this one about Immigration 296 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,359 and Customs Enforcement detained eleven illegal aliens a couple of 297 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:20,240 weeks ago actually from Iran, including one former member of 298 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:26,400 the IRGC that's the Revolutionary Guard and this individual had 299 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:32,000 connections to Hesbalah. Right. That's a category of the types 300 00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:35,799 of illegal aliens coming across the border. They're not all 301 00:20:35,839 --> 00:20:40,559 coming for the same reason. Just because you you know, 302 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,039 sanitize the word illegal alien to say they are migrants, 303 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,200 that that doesn't mean that every single person crossing the 304 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:54,799 border is doing so for the same reason. In its 305 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,960 latest crackdown against illegal immigration, federal agents arrested eleven Iran 306 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,279 money in foreign nationals within forty eight hours, including one 307 00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:07,240 watch listed individual. This was part of a series of 308 00:21:07,279 --> 00:21:12,160 targeted operations spanning eight states and nine cities nationwide. Among 309 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:18,799 those arrested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Mehern Makari Saheli. 310 00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:23,319 He was up at Saint Paul, Minnesota. A ICE officials say, 311 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,400 Shahelli or Saheli or Saheli whatever. He is a former 312 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,720 member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, an elite branch 313 00:21:30,759 --> 00:21:35,279 of Iran's armed forces. I says the DTE has quote 314 00:21:35,319 --> 00:21:40,319 admitted connections to Hesbelah, which, in case you are not aware, 315 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,240 that is a US designated foreign terrorist organization backed by Iran. 316 00:21:44,599 --> 00:21:46,920 And in case you were also unaware, prior to nine 317 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,839 to eleven, Hesbelah had the highest American body count of 318 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,680 any terrorist organization. ICE said that five of those arrested 319 00:21:55,759 --> 00:22:01,000 possessed previous criminal convictions, ranging from grand larceny to drug 320 00:22:01,039 --> 00:22:08,160 and firearm possessions. A report also noted that the from 321 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:13,160 ICE that the Biden administration detained more than fifteen hundred 322 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:19,119 Iranian nationals who had crossed the southern border illegally, About 323 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:24,000 half of them subsequently were released into the United States 324 00:22:24,079 --> 00:22:28,480 despite their affiliation with a country whose regime makes death 325 00:22:28,519 --> 00:22:32,319 to America both a slogan and a policy. Of the 326 00:22:32,319 --> 00:22:35,480 seven hundred and twenty nine illegal Iranian aliens that were 327 00:22:35,519 --> 00:22:38,920 released seven twenty nine. Of the seven twenty nine, all 328 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,240 but fifty of them got released while Iran's proxies waged 329 00:22:43,279 --> 00:22:48,599 war on Israel with Iranian support. Why did the flood 330 00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:53,119 of illegal crossings by Iranian nationals increase year over year 331 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,559 by three hundred percent in fiscal year twenty twenty two, 332 00:22:57,799 --> 00:23:00,279 and then by another one hundred and thirty five percent 333 00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:03,799 in fiscal year twenty twenty three, and then by another 334 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:09,559 seventy three percent in fiscal year twenty twenty four. Why 335 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,680 Why did we see this constant increase in Iranian illegal 336 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:19,720 aliens year over year over year. Why would the Department 337 00:23:19,759 --> 00:23:23,359 of Homeland Security under Alejandro Majorcas, why would they have 338 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:30,759 released any Iranian into America. Eleven arrests in forty eight hours. 339 00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:34,480 Pretty good start, but a lot more needs to be 340 00:23:34,519 --> 00:23:37,640 done on that count. That's also Ed Morrissey at hot 341 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,799 air dot com. This is Jennifer Van lah Over at 342 00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:45,839 RedState dot com.

In the suit, the US Department 370 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:22,240 of Justice states that sanctuary policies intentionally discriminate against the 371 00:25:22,279 --> 00:25:28,400 federal government by treating federal immigration authorities differently than other 372 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:36,480 law enforcement agents. From the lawsuit quote, through access restrictions 373 00:25:36,519 --> 00:25:42,480 both to property and to individual detainees, by prohibiting contractors 374 00:25:42,519 --> 00:25:48,000 and subcontractors from providing information, and by disfavoring federal criminal 375 00:25:48,079 --> 00:25:51,000 laws that the City of Los Angeles has decided not 376 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,079 to comply with. I don't know if this case will 377 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,359 have any legs, but I'm going to watch it to 378 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,319 see what happens. LA has been a sanctuary SA City 379 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,960 informally at least since twenty seventeen, when the city council 380 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,039 adopted a sanctuary resolution, which does not carry the force 381 00:26:08,079 --> 00:26:12,119 of law. When Trump won in twenty twenty four, city 382 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:17,559 officials quickly worked to codify its sanctuary status. That ordinance, 383 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:23,920 sponsored by City council members Nitya raman Ugo, Soto Martinez 384 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:29,880 and Unices Hernandez, became effective December nineteenth, twenty twenty four, 385 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:35,319 so just before Trump took office. Now go back eight 386 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:40,440 years prior December twenty one, twenty sixteen, during the term 387 00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:45,079 of Chief Charlie Beck LAPD's Chief of Detectives, he had 388 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,000 sent a memo to all commanding officers stating that department 389 00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:53,640 personnel quote, shall not detain an inmate already in local 390 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,599 custody for state or local violations for the sole purpose 391 00:26:58,599 --> 00:27:02,000 of transferring custody of the mate to ICE, unless at 392 00:27:02,079 --> 00:27:06,039 least one of the following conditions present or is present. Rather, 393 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,000 a judicial determination of probable cause for the detainer or 394 00:27:10,039 --> 00:27:14,640 an arrest warrant from a judicial officer. Custody Services Division 395 00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:20,240 will not honor idna's which are Immigration detainer notice of action. 396 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,359 This is exactly what Mecklenburg County Sheriff Gary not my fault. 397 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:30,160 McFadden has been doing exactly the same thing. And these 398 00:27:30,279 --> 00:27:34,240 carve outs, Oh, if you get a judge with a 399 00:27:34,319 --> 00:27:39,720 probable cause order, a judicial order, or an arrest warrant 400 00:27:39,759 --> 00:27:43,880 from a judicial officer. See, because immigration is administrative law. 401 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:49,200 It's not criminal law. It's administrative law. And so this 402 00:27:49,279 --> 00:27:53,240 is why they use these Weasley terms. Well, if you 403 00:27:53,279 --> 00:27:58,440 get a judge to issue the detainer, but judges don't 404 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:03,200 do that. Customs and Border Patrol ice they do that. 405 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,359 It's administrative and so this is what they did back 406 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,880 in twenty sixteen. Our sheriff has been doing very much 407 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,759 the same thing. That's why you've got all this state 408 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,920 legislation that has come down the pipeline to try to 409 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:23,000 force the sheriff to cooperate fully with ICE on these detainers. 410 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:28,400 And remember, one of the reasons why McFadden and Democrats 411 00:28:28,839 --> 00:28:32,440 say that they can't possibly cooperate with ICE is that 412 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,880 they're worried about being sued. That's been their argument all 413 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,920 this time. Oh, if we hold somebody in order for 414 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,119 ICE to come get them out of the jail before 415 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,160 we release them back into the community where they will 416 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,400 re offend, because obviously they've done something to arrive in 417 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,440 the jail, right, They've committed some criminal act allegedly. That's 418 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,920 why they got arrested, and that's why they're in the jail. 419 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,880 And he says, we can't release them because we could 420 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,400 get sued. And they've been saying this for eight years. 421 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:06,759 Nobody's ever been sued over this, though, but he keeps 422 00:29:06,759 --> 00:29:10,359 saying it. He keeps saying it, and now I would 423 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:15,240 submit if you don't cooperate with ICE. Now, if LA 424 00:29:15,559 --> 00:29:21,960 is your example, you're gonna get sued. So now you 425 00:29:22,119 --> 00:29:26,480 risk being sued by the DOJ for not cooperating with ICE, 426 00:29:26,559 --> 00:29:33,480 for discriminating against this federal agency. California sanctuary state law 427 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,400 passed in twenty seventeen. The first Trump administration sued the 428 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,599 state over portions of that law, arguing it violated the 429 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,400 supremacy clause. They lost at the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals. 430 00:29:45,079 --> 00:29:48,240 The Supreme Court declined to take up that case at 431 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,759 the time, so we'll see what happens this time around. Meanwhile, 432 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,720 Guatemala and Honduras have signed agreements with the United States 433 00:29:57,799 --> 00:30:00,680 to potentially offer refuge to people for from other countries 434 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:05,720 who otherwise would seek asylum in the United States. One 435 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,480 of the other major questions, right, when people are actually 436 00:30:09,559 --> 00:30:15,359 fleeing violence in their home country and they claim asylum, 437 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,000 they pass through three, four or five other countries to 438 00:30:20,079 --> 00:30:23,799 get to America before they claim asylum. If you are 439 00:30:23,839 --> 00:30:27,599 actually fleeing violence, why wouldn't you claim asylum at the 440 00:30:27,759 --> 00:30:31,640 very first opportunity you had to do so? Right? Why 441 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,400 wouldn't you go as soon as you cross over the 442 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,839 border and you get to that other country where you 443 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,720 are ostensibly theoretically not at threat anymore. You're no longer 444 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,119 at risk of being murdered by whatever cartel was running 445 00:30:43,119 --> 00:30:46,039 your neighborhood. You're now in another country, Why wouldn't you 446 00:30:46,079 --> 00:30:50,039 seek asylum there? But they don't. They travel through many 447 00:30:50,039 --> 00:30:56,799 other countries undergoing hardship, abuse, assaults just to claim asylum 448 00:30:56,839 --> 00:31:00,480 in America. It's almost as if the original as asylum 449 00:31:00,519 --> 00:31:05,680 claim probably wasn't meritorious. All right, that'll do it for 450 00:31:05,799 --> 00:31:08,400 this episode.
