00:00The Louisville Kentucky recently walked back their status designation as a sanctuary city.
00:07Here in D.C., Mayor Mural Bowser is walking back.
00:11Her position is D.C. as a sanctuary jurisdiction.
00:15Is there a message in there for other cities like L.A., like Boston, like Chicago?
00:21And do you hope to see more jurisdictions change?
00:26Absolutely. Sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals.
00:30Hard stop. Bottom line, that's what it is.
00:33And President Trump made a commitment a couple weeks ago that we're going to prioritize sanctuary cities.
00:37I made a statement the other day about New York. We're going to flood the zones.
00:40The sanctuary cities are going to get exactly what they don't want.
00:43More agents in the communities and more worksite enforcement.
00:47Why is that? Because they won't let one agent arrest one bad guy in the jail.
00:51They're going to release a public safety threat back in the community.
00:53Now I've got to send a whole team to go find that person.
00:55So, you know, we're going to find a bad guy, whether they help us or not.
01:00So if they're releasing the community, we've got to send more people to do that.
01:03Because we just can't send one officer in the community to find a bad guy because of officer safety consideration.
01:08He has access to who knows what weapons, right?
01:09The illegal alien criminal.
01:11So we've got to send a whole team.
01:12Now New York is releasing hundreds of criminals every week right straight from the precincts.
01:18We've got to go find them.
01:19So we know we have a problem in New York City.
01:21And that's why President Trump wants to prioritize sanctuary cities.
01:24We know the releasing public safety threats every day.
01:27We don't have that problem in Florida.
01:28We don't have that problem in Texas.
01:30So those resources can certainly be redeployed.
01:33I've talked to Kristi Nolan about it.
01:35We're going to flood the zone in sanctuary cities.
01:36President Trump made them priority.
01:37It's the right thing to do.
01:39With our limited resources right now, we need to concentrate on the worst first that we've done since day one.
01:44We're going to continue that, especially in sanctuary cities where we've got no assistance.
