00:13as President Trump has suggested, in cities around the United States, especially cities

00:17where perhaps you won't get cooperation from local officials.

00:21And I'm thinking of New York, Chicago, where perhaps, you know, the authorities will be

00:26less inclined to support these initiatives.

00:29How do you see it all working?

00:31Well, just because something is difficult or hard doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

00:36And when you talk to officials at Homeland Security or with ICE, they do, they have identified

00:43individuals who have crossed the border.

00:45They know where they are and they know their previous history, and in some cases, violent

00:49criminal history.

00:51And they are targeting those individuals first.

01:02individuals off their streets.
