00:00I was one of them. I was the first director of ICE. I actually came up to the ranks.
00:05The 20,000 men and women that worked for me, I never asked them to do anything I didn't do myself because I was one of them.
00:10I wore the green uniform. I was a Border Patrol agent.
00:13I know it's like to stand on a dirt trail at 3 o'clock in the morning.
00:16A sensor goes off. What's coming north, they don't know.
00:19Is it just an illegal alien looking for a better life or is it a heavily armed drug smoker?
00:24They don't know, but they're going to stand there and take it on.
00:26These are the bravest men and women this nation has.
00:30I'm actually, look, I'm actually kind of happy right now because when I pulled into the event tonight, there was no protesters.
00:44I love protesters. I love them.
00:49That means, that means your message is getting out.

00:56But the hate is incredible.

01:19You impede an ICE officer or a Border Patrol agent, you're going to jail.
01:29You put hands on them, you're going to jail.
01:31You harbor and conceal an illegal alien, you're going to jail.

01:36Well, the danger of facing ICE in Border Patrol right now, I've never seen it before in my career, and I've been doing this since 1984.
01:52Throwing Molotov cocktails at officers.
01:55The other day, they tried to ambush officers in Alvarado.
01:59Almost a dozen people, many with automatic weapons.
02:03Trying to kill an ICE officer for what?
02:08For enforcing the laws of this country?
02:10You've got members of Congress comparing ICE to Nazis and racists.
02:13You've got Tim Walts, another loser, who compares them to the Gestapo.
02:19And understand this, these members of Congress are vilifying them.
