00:00Mr. Paul, can I ask a question about VEGO immigration, about...
00:03There are reports about a multi-agency immigration enforcement operation in Chicago,
00:08accurately, but can you confirm those reports and why Chicago?
00:13Look at the crime rate in Chicago.
00:15I mean, when this administration first came in power, Brandon Johnson, the mayor there,
00:21he said I wasn't welcome to Chicago.
00:23Where was I the first day? Chicago.
00:25And I was up there in operation.
00:27I remember that first day, if I remember the numbers right,
00:30the first day we took, like, nine predators off the street.
00:33Sexual child predators off the street.
00:36We arrested members of TDA.
00:38We arrested members of MS-13.
00:41We arrested two people that were convicted of murder that were walking the streets.
00:45Illegal immigrants.
00:46So in one day, look what we did.
00:49Chicago still has a crime problem.
00:51So President Trump, again, made a promise to American people,
00:54we'll make this country safe again.
00:55So Chicago has a crime problem.
00:56That's why President Trump's thinking about it.
00:59Is there a whole other question about ramping up after labor day?
01:02Operations will ramp up across the country, but you can see a ramp up of operations in Chicago, absolutely.
01:06You can see a ramp up of operations in New York.
01:09You can see a ramp up of operations continue in L.A.
01:11And, you know, Portland, Seattle.
01:13I mean, all these sanctuary cities that refuse to work with ICE,
01:17where we know public safety threats are being released every day into this country,
01:21especially those cities, we're going to address that.
01:24We don't have that problem in Texas and Florida where all the sheriffs are working with us
01:27and they're actually holding people for us and letting us know when someone's being released.
01:32So we're going to take the assets we have and move them to problem areas like sanctuary cities
01:37where we know for a fact they're releasing public safety threats illegal aliens to the streets every day.
01:42That's where we need to send the majority of the resource and that's where they're going.
