During a press conference on Tuesday, protestors shouted "shame" at Republicans who were holding a press conference on President Trump's D.C. crime crackdown.
00:00And just to answer real briefly the follow-up, it's not just the National Guard who are going to cities.
00:06When federal law enforcement identifies a crisis area, it is not uncommon at all for agents in the ATF, HSI, DEA, FBI to surge in a particular city.
00:17And that's what we've seen in addition to the National Guard here.
00:20It's the federal law enforcement that are initiating the arrests, that are doing the investigations, that are serving the warrants.
00:26And in terms of these cities around the country, there are several reasons why criminals are or crime is not being addressed.
00:34You have defund the police movements. You have sanctuary policies.
00:37You've got prosecutors that don't think they should prosecute crimes.
00:40And the president, again, has stated it does not have to be this way.
00:44And he is rightfully sending federal law enforcement to address federal crimes in cities.
00:49I mean, look at Chicago last weekend. I think it was close to 60 people were shot, almost a dozen people killed.
00:55Law enforcement is not getting it done at the local level.
00:58It's an appropriate place for federal law enforcement to go work with them to address the crime that's harming those citizens.
01:05All right, that's it. Thank you all. Appreciate it.
