00:00But you have a lot of great police and those people are the ones that want to help you.
00:04This city will no longer be a sanctuary for illegal alien criminals. We will have full,
00:11seamless, integrated cooperation at all levels of law enforcement and we'll deploy officers
00:17across the district with an overwhelming presence. You'll have more police and you'll be so happy
00:23because you'll be safe when you walk down the street. You're going to see police or you're

01:13illegally. They shouldn't have been allowed in. They come from Venezuela. They come from all over
01:17the world. We're going to get them the hell out. They won't be here long. But some of these people,
01:22a lot of them are homegrown criminals. And these are bad people. These are rough people.
