00:00:16
Good morning everybody. We're about to
00:00:18
start in just a few moments. Uh just a
00:00:20
couple ground rules. We're going to
00:00:22
speak and after the remarks we're going
00:00:25
to do Q&A call
00:00:28
on you all individually and at that time
00:00:31
I will ask you the microphone I will be
00:00:34
the microphone and saying this is to
00:00:36
keep recording thank We're going to
00:00:39
start
00:01:31
Oh no.
00:01:41
Come on.
00:01:56
All
00:02:16
right. Good morning. Um, I'm proud to be
00:02:19
standing on the most secure border in
00:02:21
the history of the nation today because
00:02:22
of President Trump and his leadership.
00:02:25
I'm proud to be standing next to CBP
00:02:27
Commissioner Ronnie Scott who helped the
00:02:30
president
00:02:33
to create the most secure border in the
00:02:36
history of this nation. My dad approves
00:02:38
it. Look, when I came back second time
00:02:41
out of retirement of President Trump, he
00:02:43
asked me oversee three things.
00:02:46
Securing the border because the last
00:02:49
four years in the Biden administration,
00:02:51
it was an open border. Not because of
00:02:54
mismanagement, not because of
00:02:56
incompetence, by design.
00:02:59
So he asked me,
00:03:02
work with the professionals
00:03:04
and create a secure border. And Rodney
00:03:06
is going to talk about that a lot more
00:03:09
in detail in a minute.
00:03:12
He wanted me oversee the historic
00:03:14
deportation operation.
00:03:17
That's exactly what we're doing.
00:03:19
Promises made, promises kept.
00:03:23
The third thing,
00:03:25
go find missing children that the Biden
00:03:28
administration released unbed sponsors.
00:03:33
Because of the open border last four
00:03:34
years, over half a million children were
00:03:37
smuggled in this country. Last
00:03:39
administration couldn't find 300,000 of
00:03:42
them approximately.
00:03:46
Under President Trump's leadership,
00:03:48
we have located over 62,000 children
00:03:52
that the last administration weren't
00:03:54
even looking for. Again,
00:03:58
promises made, promises kept. And we're
00:04:01
going to continue
00:04:04
running down every lead of every child.
00:04:08
And when we finish all those leads,
00:04:09
we'll go back and do it all over again.
00:04:12
As long as President Trump's in the Oval
00:04:13
Office, we will never stop looking for
00:04:16
these children. Now, I want to be clear.
00:04:18
The 62,000 children were found. Some
00:04:20
were perfectly safe with their families.
00:04:23
They're just hiding out. Didn't want to
00:04:24
be deported. Whatever,
00:04:27
but many were in sex trafficking
00:04:30
and forced labor. One's too many. So,
00:04:34
President Trump saved thousands of these
00:04:38
children's lives and their futures.
00:04:41
Secure border is saving thousands of
00:04:43
lives every year. Under the last
00:04:45
administration, over 4,000 aliens died
00:04:47
making that journey.
00:04:49
With a secure border, lives are being
00:04:51
saved every day. Sex trafficking has
00:04:54
plummeted. Fentanyl has plummeted.
00:04:58
No inspected terrorists coming across
00:04:59
borders plummeted. A secure border means
00:05:03
stronger national security. But most
00:05:06
importantly, it means saving lives.
00:05:08
Saving aliens lives.
00:05:10
and saving Americans lives.
00:05:14
I want to end one more one more thing
00:05:16
before I turn over Rodney Scott. The
00:05:18
attacks on the men and women of Bor
00:05:20
Patrol and ICE are disgusting.
00:05:23
These men and women put their lives on
00:05:25
the line every day for this country to
00:05:27
remove the worst of the worst.
00:05:30
One of the reasons we have the most
00:05:31
secure border in the nation right now,
00:05:34
in addition to President Trump's
00:05:36
leadership, Commissioner Rodney Scott,
00:05:38
and the men and women wearing green and
00:05:41
tan and blue, is because what ISIS is
00:05:44
doing in the interior.
00:05:46
The Trump administration has sent a
00:05:48
clear message. We are going to enforce
00:05:50
immigration law without apology.
00:05:53
That messages are is sent throughout the
00:05:55
world, which means the most vulnerable
00:05:57
people in the world are not going to
00:05:59
give their life savings to a criminal
00:06:01
cartel to come to a country where they
00:06:04
know they won't be released. That alone
00:06:07
is saving thousands of lives.
00:06:10
Children aren't drowning in a river.
00:06:12
Women ain't being raped by the cartels.
00:06:15
And again, less drugs means more lives
00:06:19
saved.
00:06:20
President Trump and this administration
00:06:24
is saving thousands of lives every
00:06:26
month. And that's just a stone cold
00:06:27
fact.
00:06:29
I'm honored to be here with Rodney Scott
00:06:31
who's not only a friend. Together we got
00:06:33
over 70 years 70 on border security,
00:06:37
national security, immigration
00:06:38
enforcement.
00:06:40
I couldn't be prouder standing next to a
00:06:43
champion like Rody Scott who is well
00:06:45
respected by every one of these people
00:06:46
wearing this uniform.
00:06:48
Bonnie Scott, you go ahead.
00:06:53
>> It's my honor to be back in sunny San
00:06:55
Diego, even if it's not quite as sunny
00:06:57
today as uh as we're used to. I I did
00:07:00
want to thank Tom, and I want to
00:07:01
highlight for everybody, this is where
00:07:03
Tom started his career. This is where I
00:07:06
started my career, but also this is
00:07:08
where the strategy that President Trump
00:07:10
endorsed for border security really
00:07:13
started, was proven out. So, I thought
00:07:15
it was a very fitting place uh to come
00:07:17
out and talk about the successes we've
00:07:19
had over the last year. And I and Tom
00:07:22
highlighted it, but this is and I think
00:07:25
you could ask anybody that's actually
00:07:26
done this job that's a border security
00:07:28
professional. We're currently
00:07:30
experiencing the most secure border this
00:07:32
nation has ever ever seen. We're at 92%
00:07:38
identifying illegal entries, 92% lower
00:07:40
than the peaks during the Biden
00:07:42
administration. But let me put that into
00:07:43
context for you a little bit more.
00:07:46
In an hour and a half during the Biden
00:07:48
administration, we caught more people
00:07:50
than they're we're catching and seeing
00:07:51
cross the border illegally in a 24-hour
00:07:53
period now.
00:07:56
But why did we see that reduction? I
00:07:57
want to be very clear based on my
00:07:59
professional experience. Why are we
00:08:01
seeing that reduction? We're seeing that
00:08:03
reduction because President Trump came
00:08:05
in and implemented policies and provided
00:08:08
top cover for the men and women of CBP
00:08:10
and and ICE and other agencies doing in
00:08:12
border security to literally shut down
00:08:15
the draw. What was the first thing we
00:08:18
did was we made sure that we kept people
00:08:20
in custody and throughout the their
00:08:22
process until they were properly
00:08:24
adjudicated. If they were subject to if
00:08:27
they were immediately illegal entering,
00:08:29
they were subject to ER. But the catch
00:08:31
the thing is we ended catch and release
00:08:33
and that was a huge draw. People being
00:08:35
released into the United States. We are
00:08:38
prosecuting people for illegally
00:08:39
entering entering the United States
00:08:41
today at unprecedented level.
00:08:44
We are prosecuting everything we can. If
00:08:47
you assault a border patrol agent, a CBP
00:08:49
officer, an ICE agent, we're going to
00:08:51
prosecute you. If you lie to a Border
00:08:53
Patrol agent, or any federal official,
00:08:55
we're going to prosecute you. We're
00:08:57
literally just enforcing the laws that
00:08:59
were already on the books. We're making
00:09:01
sure that there are consequences in
00:09:02
place. I want to highlight this is not
00:09:05
just CBP. I'm here representing CBP, but
00:09:08
President Trump sent a clear message to
00:09:10
his entire administration that border
00:09:13
security is important and you're all
00:09:15
going to be on board. So, both Tom and I
00:09:17
participate in a call like six days a
00:09:20
week, sometimes seven days a week. And I
00:09:23
can tell you this government, the entire
00:09:25
federal government, is united in a way
00:09:27
I've never seen my entire career,
00:09:29
focused on one thing. Putting Americans
00:09:32
first and making sure that we simply
00:09:34
know and control who we're allowing into
00:09:37
our home. Because I want to remind all
00:09:39
of you, why does this really matter?
00:09:41
Border security is national security.
00:09:44
Sometimes I think people will overly
00:09:45
complicate this, but you need to think
00:09:47
of it as simply just like your home. If
00:09:50
you cannot if you cannot identify and
00:09:52
control and know who and what goes into
00:09:55
your personal home, you have no personal
00:09:57
security. And as a nation, if we can't
00:10:01
identify people entering our home that
00:10:03
and then decide make conscious decisions
00:10:06
based on laws that are in put in place
00:10:08
by Congress, who and what we're going to
00:10:10
allow into our home, any conversation
00:10:13
about security is a fraud.
00:10:15
Customs and Border Protection, ICE,
00:10:18
under the leadership and guidance and
00:10:19
support of President Trump is making
00:10:22
sure that we simply can know first and
00:10:24
foremost. And that's what a lot of this
00:10:26
infrastructure around you is for. We can
00:10:29
positively know anything and anyone
00:10:32
coming into this country and then we can
00:10:33
make conscious decisions consistent with
00:10:35
federal law on who we allow into our
00:10:38
home. Because at the end of the day, our
00:10:40
it is our home and we're talking about
00:10:42
who are we letting next to our children?
00:10:44
Who are we letting next to our families?
00:10:46
What products are we allowing into the
00:10:48
United States?
00:10:50
The other piece of this is we slowed
00:10:52
down this flow. What did that really
00:10:54
mean to America? That meant we put
00:10:56
Border Patrol agents, ICE officers, CBP
00:10:59
officers back to doing the enforcement
00:11:00
functions that you as Americans hired
00:11:02
them to do instead of administratively
00:11:05
processing fraudulent immigration
00:11:06
claims. I want to give you an example.
00:11:09
Just at our ports of entry alone, by
00:11:11
shutting down the fraud, we were able to
00:11:14
take approximately 16,000 man-h hours,
00:11:18
16,000 hours, and put them back on
00:11:20
enforcement duties at the ports of
00:11:22
entry. What does that really mean? That
00:11:24
means we're in we're interviewing people
00:11:26
that are coming to the United States.
00:11:27
We're asking them questions we didn't
00:11:29
have time to ask before. We're looking
00:11:31
in cargo trucks. We're looking at
00:11:32
trains. We're looking at ships. We're
00:11:34
looking at containers. We are making a
00:11:36
conscious decision to know who and what
00:11:37
comes into this country. consistent with
00:11:39
law. And that's just the ports of entry.
00:11:42
In between the ports of entry, Tom
00:11:44
talked about the unaccompanied alien
00:11:46
children and the exploitation under the
00:11:49
massive crisis that Biden intentionally
00:11:51
created where we had flows of people
00:11:53
that we literally had no time to talk to
00:11:55
anybody. It was just processing people
00:11:57
through. We had no idea what we were
00:11:59
dealing with. Today, every single
00:12:01
unaccompanied child that comes across
00:12:03
that border is getting a good
00:12:04
face-to-face debrief, an interview, if
00:12:06
you will. We're carving out the the we
00:12:10
call them children, but the teenagers
00:12:11
that are gang members that are actually
00:12:13
working for their cartel, bringing
00:12:15
others across, we're carving them out.
00:12:17
They're smugglers. We're going to
00:12:18
prosecute them just like anybody else.
00:12:20
They're facilitating. They're smuggling
00:12:22
narcotics. We were not able to do that
00:12:24
before. But just as importantly, we're
00:12:26
able to identify children that are being
00:12:28
trafficked, children that are being
00:12:30
abused, and we're being able to get them
00:12:31
the protections they need and carve them
00:12:33
out. Why? Because the men and women to
00:12:35
my right and around us today actually
00:12:37
have time to do their job now to
00:12:39
actually interview people, figure out
00:12:41
what's going on, and make a conscious
00:12:43
decision who we prosecute and how. You
00:12:46
know what else we're doing? We're saving
00:12:48
the economic. We are in we are
00:12:50
empowering the economy of this country
00:12:52
through making sure that we rebuild a
00:12:54
middle America by having fair trade. You
00:12:56
know, we're between the fences, but
00:12:58
please don't forget it's Customs and
00:12:59
Border Protection, and the economic
00:13:00
security of this nation is just as
00:13:02
important as the physical entries here.
00:13:05
The president's tariff initiative has
00:13:07
brought in over $223
00:13:09
billion in increased tariffs. But just
00:13:12
as importantly, it's required new data
00:13:15
to be given to CBP. So, we're
00:13:17
eliminating huge vulnerabilities that
00:13:19
were being exploited by the cartel to
00:13:21
bring in fentanyl and other counterfeit
00:13:23
goods. We're actually doing a lot to
00:13:25
counter national uh nation state, I
00:13:27
would call it, threats of other nations
00:13:30
that are trying to exploit our tariff
00:13:32
system by trans what we call trans
00:13:34
shipments, shipping products through a
00:13:36
bunch of different countries to get away
00:13:37
from paying tariffs. Why do we have
00:13:39
tariffs? Because we want the American
00:13:41
worker to have a fair opportunity. We
00:13:43
want American businesses to have a fair
00:13:45
opportunity. Our Customs and Border
00:13:48
Protection officers are identifying
00:13:50
those trans shipments, stopping them,
00:13:52
finding companies, and we are actually
00:13:54
empowering the economy of this country
00:13:57
by making sure that we get put America
00:13:59
workers back first.
00:14:02
Thank you again, President Trump, for
00:14:03
fighting hard for the big beautiful
00:14:05
bill. A lot of the benefits, a lot of
00:14:08
the things that you've seen were done
00:14:10
through policy. They were done through
00:14:11
brute force because the CB men and women
00:14:13
of CBP and ICE actually are dedicated to
00:14:16
this mission. But now it's time to lock
00:14:18
it in. The big beautiful bill provided
00:14:21
significant funding to continue to build
00:14:23
out the smart border wall system. I
00:14:25
think a lot of people think of it as
00:14:27
just this piece of steel. What we are
00:14:29
building along the southwest border is a
00:14:31
smart system. It's in there's technology
00:14:33
embedded in with it plus the physical
00:14:36
infrastructure. But bottom line, if
00:14:37
you're in business, this is what it does
00:14:38
for you. If you're a taxpayer, this is
00:14:40
what it does for you. It makes every
00:14:43
single agent and officer more effective.
00:14:45
It allows that tax dollar to go
00:14:47
significantly farther. This is an
00:14:49
investment in border security over the
00:14:51
long term that'll pay for itself. We're
00:14:54
hiring more border patrol agents. We're
00:14:55
hiring more CBP officers. We're hiring
00:14:57
more ICE agents. We're hiring more air
00:14:59
and marine addiction agents. Together,
00:15:02
we're going to continue to expand. Why?
00:15:04
So on your behalf, we can simply know
00:15:06
and control who and what comes into this
00:15:08
country and make conscious decisions
00:15:10
about it. We're expanding the Border
00:15:12
Patrol fleet, and we're making it easier
00:15:14
than ever for any illegal alien in the
00:15:17
United States that wants to avoid the
00:15:20
trauma of being arrested and deported to
00:15:22
voluntarily leave. CBP has flipped an
00:15:25
app that we used to have. Now we call it
00:15:27
the CBP home app. And we have a little
00:15:30
thing going on right now, home for the
00:15:31
holidays. Any illegal alien in this
00:15:34
country can go on to that app right now
00:15:36
and we will help them get a flight back
00:15:39
to their home country so they can be
00:15:40
home for the holidays and we'll even pay
00:15:42
them $1,000 once they're out because
00:15:45
it's significantly cheaper than going
00:15:46
through the entire process of tracking
00:15:48
them down, arresting them, and deporting
00:15:50
them. But please don't miss this. We
00:15:53
will track you down. we will arrest you
00:15:55
and we will deport you. Because the
00:15:57
number one thing that stops illegal
00:15:59
immigration coming across this border is
00:16:00
changing the dynamic, not releasing them
00:16:02
and making sure that people know they
00:16:04
cannot just freely move about the United
00:16:06
States if they get past this little
00:16:07
section of border. Last but not least,
00:16:10
thank you President Trump for your
00:16:12
policies, for your support. Thank you,
00:16:14
Tom H. Homeman, for your support here.
00:16:16
But last but not least, let's not forget
00:16:17
who's really doing this. the men and
00:16:19
women in the uniform, the men and women
00:16:21
at ICE every single day putting their
00:16:24
lives on the line. Please give them your
00:16:26
support and get out of some of the
00:16:28
rhetoric. Just remember, our job is to
00:16:30
know and control what comes into this
00:16:32
country and I think you guys are doing a
00:16:33
damn good job at it. Please keep it up.
00:16:35
Thank you.
00:16:50
Good morning. Um, you talk about the uh
00:16:54
growing role of border control
00:16:58
on the border.
00:17:01
We've heard a lot about Chicago, but I
00:17:05
think it's really across the whole
00:17:06
country.
00:17:09
How many agents if you could talk about
00:17:11
that? and uh where are they and what
00:17:14
unique skill set did they bring to that?
00:17:18
>> Thank you, Elliot. Good to see you
00:17:19
again. So, I I do want to talk about the
00:17:21
interior enforcement. So, I just touched
00:17:24
on it a little bit. If you can get
00:17:26
through this little area here and think
00:17:27
you're free, we're never going to win.
00:17:29
There has to be consequences for illegal
00:17:31
entry. Period. ICE over the years,
00:17:34
whether it be the enforcement removal
00:17:36
side or the Homeland Security
00:17:37
Investigation side, has always come down
00:17:39
to the border and supported us
00:17:41
historically, but it's a partnership.
00:17:43
Department of Homeland Security was
00:17:45
created for a reason. We each have our
00:17:47
own fundamental capabilities, but we've
00:17:48
always worked together. Right now, with
00:17:51
the support of the Department of War and
00:17:53
with all the infrastructure we're
00:17:55
putting down here and the policies, it's
00:17:57
given the United States Customs and
00:17:58
Border Protection, both the field
00:17:59
operations side and Border Patrol, a
00:18:02
little flexibility that now we're taking
00:18:04
the information that we've been
00:18:06
collecting over the years of different
00:18:07
individuals, the interviews we do of
00:18:09
every single illegal alien at the
00:18:11
border, we're taking that information
00:18:13
and we're building out an investigative
00:18:15
case. We're figuring out where were they
00:18:17
going, what were they doing, and we're
00:18:19
supporting ICE in those in those arrests
00:18:23
to the maximum extent we possibly can.
00:18:25
I'm not going to get into locations or
00:18:27
how many staffing that we're given to it
00:18:29
because that that varies dramatically,
00:18:31
but we are working together in lock
00:18:33
step. When we started really ramping up
00:18:36
the interior enforcement and it got a
00:18:38
little bit of attention from you guys
00:18:40
almost overnight the crossber illegal
00:18:42
entries dropped by onethird and they've
00:18:44
stayed down because the message sent to
00:18:47
the world was we actually believe in the
00:18:49
laws that we have in place and just
00:18:51
because you made it across this little
00:18:52
line just because you snuck through in
00:18:54
the fog maybe one day in San Diego
00:18:56
you're not home free we will come find
00:18:58
you we will arrest you and we will
00:19:00
deport you whether it's ICE whether it's
00:19:02
Rero whether it's border Border Patrol
00:19:04
or OFO, we're one team, one fight.
00:19:07
>> Let me add let me add to that. What
00:19:09
President Trump did is a game changer to
00:19:11
all the government on the interior
00:19:12
enforcement operations. I've been on
00:19:14
many of them. You got FBI, you got ATF,
00:19:17
you got US Marshall Service, you know,
00:19:20
you got we got every federal law
00:19:22
enforcement agency out there like at ATF
00:19:25
and DEA and and and what's good about
00:19:27
that, Elliot, is that when we find an
00:19:29
illegal alien that has drugs, DA's on
00:19:32
the scene, prosecute, then we deport.
00:19:34
They have weapons, ATF's there to
00:19:35
prosecute, but the all the government
00:19:37
and the border patrol coming to the
00:19:39
interior is a game changer. We're in a
00:19:41
position now where border can actually
00:19:42
come to the interior because the border
00:19:44
is the most secure ever. So again,
00:19:46
President Trump's playing with us all
00:19:48
the government and the impact has been
00:19:49
significant over we got over 600,000
00:19:52
removals already since President Trump's
00:19:55
been in the oval office. That's already
00:19:56
historic record. But as we bring 10,000
00:19:58
more agents on, you ain't you haven't
00:20:00
seen anything yet. Wait till next year.
00:20:09
Uh, Mr. Oman, the uh, Navy has been
00:20:11
given jurisdiction of a stretch of the
00:20:14
border here. Tell me how that fits into
00:20:16
your plan for increase enforcement
00:20:19
orders.
00:20:23
>> I'll let Rodney talk about this. We were
00:20:24
just talking about this with the chief
00:20:26
earlier about the importance of maritime
00:20:29
uh, patrols. We knew when we locked the
00:20:32
border down, me and Rodney discussed it
00:20:34
many times, we knew if we when we lock
00:20:36
the border down, they're going to take
00:20:37
to the water. So, President Trump has
00:20:39
not only signed more Coast Guard boats
00:20:41
to the water, more Navy vessels to the
00:20:43
water, but uh air marine operations down
00:20:47
on the end. They put more watercraft in,
00:20:50
more watercraft in, but I think Ronnie
00:20:53
can explain, we just talked about this
00:20:54
morning on the significance that has
00:20:56
made to maritime patrols.
00:21:00
>> Thank you for the question. Both in the
00:21:01
maritime and on the land border,
00:21:04
national defense has always been a
00:21:05
department of war, department of defense
00:21:07
responsibility. My entire career, we
00:21:10
have always had military on the border.
00:21:12
The difference between this
00:21:13
administration and every administration
00:21:14
in the past that I worked for, this
00:21:17
administration actually tasked people to
00:21:19
go back into law, read all the law that
00:21:22
was on the books, and find every tool we
00:21:24
could possibly use to secure the border
00:21:26
in new creative ways. So the national
00:21:29
defense areas having DoD on the border
00:21:31
and the authority that brings to them
00:21:32
was one of those. Again, we've always
00:21:35
had Department of Defense on the on the
00:21:37
border, but when they're on their own
00:21:38
property, they have increased uh
00:21:40
authorities and responsibilities to
00:21:42
actually arrest for trespass just like
00:21:43
they would on any other military base.
00:21:45
We've been doing this in Texas for a
00:21:47
while. We're bringing it over here now.
00:21:50
But really tried andrude what it comes
00:21:52
down to is it's all of government
00:21:53
approach leveraging the capabilities
00:21:56
making sure it actually creates a a
00:21:58
mechanism for the military to enhance
00:22:00
their readiness at the same time that
00:22:02
they're providing their national defense
00:22:04
uh mission as well. We work in lock
00:22:06
step. It's been a huge for force
00:22:08
multiplier and I really want to thank
00:22:09
Department of War for all the
00:22:10
assistance.
00:22:12
And don't forget these what the mission
00:22:16
right now what we're doing now is saving
00:22:18
lives.
00:22:20
Chief, can you come up and talk real
00:22:22
quick about what we talked about the
00:22:23
lives that been put at risk at maritime,
00:22:25
what we're doing in response to that,
00:22:27
please?
00:22:29
>> So, I think what's often overlooked in
00:22:31
the process of human smuggling is all of
00:22:34
the despair that is involved in that.
00:22:37
People die at the hands of smugglers far
00:22:39
too often. Just recently here in San
00:22:41
Diego, we had four people die in the
00:22:43
ocean at the hands of human smugglers
00:22:44
who did not care about the lives of the
00:22:47
people that they were smuggling. All
00:22:48
they cared about was the thousands of
00:22:50
dollars that they were going to make by
00:22:52
exploiting those individuals that they
00:22:54
were smuggling. And so now, because
00:22:56
there's less people being smuggled in,
00:22:59
that also means less deaths, less loss
00:23:02
of life, and less abuse to those people
00:23:05
being smuggled in.
00:23:09
>> Justin Delatory, chief, patrol agent,
00:23:11
San Diego sector.
00:23:16
Max here following up with the territory
00:23:20
of the military.
00:23:22
I had asked Governor Adam's office about
00:23:25
that pointed out
00:23:28
person
00:23:30
of the country.
00:23:33
Your response to that?
00:23:39
>> I'll say it again. And we got the most
00:23:41
secure border in the history of the
00:23:42
nation. So CBP board is helping nice.
00:23:47
They have title 8 authority too helping
00:23:49
us to look for worse of the worst. And
00:23:50
it's been a game changer. Bottom line,
00:23:53
there's over 20 million illegal aliens
00:23:55
in this country. We know that
00:23:58
most of them entering through the Biden
00:23:59
administration. At least we know that. I
00:24:03
mean it was announced over 18,000 no
00:24:05
inspected terrorist crossed during the
00:24:06
Biden administration. We got a lot of
00:24:08
people to look for. And despite what a
00:24:10
lot of media says, we are prioritizing
00:24:13
public safety threats and national
00:24:14
security threats. So I I'm I'm grateful
00:24:16
that we got men and women the board to
00:24:18
because of the secure border that can
00:24:19
help us in that mission. We're
00:24:21
outnumbered, but we're making a it's a
00:24:23
game changer having them on board with
00:24:25
us. And let's remember for those who
00:24:27
want to say, okay, well, a lot of the
00:24:29
people you arrested are not criminals.
00:24:32
It's going back to Rodney says, we're
00:24:34
sending a message to the whole world.
00:24:36
We're going to enforce a law. And for
00:24:39
those people said, "Well, this person's
00:24:40
just here illegally." If the message you
00:24:43
want to send to the world is enter the
00:24:45
country illegally, it's a crime, but
00:24:47
don't worry about it. Show up in court
00:24:49
or don't show up in court. Get all
00:24:51
removed. You don't have to leave. Like
00:24:54
the last administration said, unless
00:24:55
you're convicted of aggravated felony.
00:24:57
And what happened when they sent that
00:24:58
message?
00:25:01
Historic illegal immigration that
00:25:03
overwhelmed the border patrol. I was
00:25:04
talking to chief earlier. There were
00:25:06
days in San Diego sector, not a single
00:25:08
uniform
00:25:10
was on patrol. You don't think the
00:25:12
cartels had a field day with that? When
00:25:14
you overwhelmed the border patrol,
00:25:16
that's when the cartels create gaps.
00:25:18
That's when the fentanyl came in and
00:25:20
killed a quarter million Americans.
00:25:21
That's when sex trafficking women and
00:25:23
children skyhigh. 2 million gotaways,
00:25:26
the 18,000 no inspector terrorists that
00:25:28
was just announced that came in
00:25:31
administration. They're not even
00:25:32
counting the 2 million gotaways. Why
00:25:34
didn't two million people pay more to
00:25:35
get away? Why didn't they pay less to
00:25:39
turn themselves into Borjo show, get
00:25:41
released within 24 hours, get a free
00:25:43
airline ticket to the city of their
00:25:44
choice, get a free hotel room, get three
00:25:47
square meals a day, and get work
00:25:49
authorization within a couple months?
00:25:51
Why did two million people pay more not
00:25:54
to take advantage of that giveaway
00:25:55
program? Because they didn't want to be
00:25:57
vetted. They didn't want to be
00:25:58
fingerprinted. That should scare the
00:26:00
hell out of everybody. It does me. And
00:26:03
that's why President Trump brought the
00:26:04
all the government together. DHS, CBP,
00:26:07
ICE, we're all working very very close
00:26:09
with the intelligence community, FBI,
00:26:11
and and you know, and and the numbers
00:26:14
prove it. We we will not rest until we
00:26:18
make sure every public safety threat
00:26:19
illegal in this country is removed.
00:26:21
That's the priority. But if you're in
00:26:23
the country illegally, you're not off
00:26:25
the table.
00:26:26
We'll go give you due process in court.
00:26:29
A lot of the people we arrested, a lot
00:26:31
of people aren't criminal aliens. A lot
00:26:33
of them are fugitives. They've had their
00:26:34
due process at great taxpayer expense
00:26:36
been ordered by a federal judge. We're
00:26:38
looking for them. We're going to deport
00:26:39
them. If you're in the country of
00:26:41
legally, we find you during an
00:26:42
operation. We'll get we we'll put you in
00:26:44
front of immigration judge. You'll make
00:26:46
the determination if you should stay or
00:26:47
not. We're going to enforce a law. We're
00:26:49
sending that clear message. Again,
00:26:51
sending that clear message created the
00:26:53
most secure border in the history of the
00:26:54
nation. has made this country safe again
00:26:56
and is saving lives. The most vulnerable
00:27:00
people in the world aren't making that
00:27:02
journey anymore. I'm not standing a back
00:27:04
the tractor trailer with 19 dead people
00:27:06
to bake to death. They're not they're
00:27:09
not pulling children out of the water or
00:27:11
giving CPR to a child that drowned in
00:27:13
the river. President Trump's policies
00:27:15
are saving thousands of lives.
00:27:19
Even the border wall, people say that's
00:27:21
a vanity project. You know, one of the
00:27:22
most important things about the border
00:27:24
wall is the most vulnerable, the women
00:27:26
and children can't get over that wall.
00:27:28
They're going to a place where there's
00:27:29
not a wall. And what's waiting on them?
00:27:31
The men and women who border patrol who
00:27:33
save thousands of lives every year. This
00:27:35
is the right thing to do. I've worked
00:27:36
for six different presidents. I've seen
00:27:39
hundreds of policies come and go. I know
00:27:41
it works. I know it doesn't. So doesn't
00:27:43
Rodney. President Trump is doing the
00:27:47
right thing. Most secure border in
00:27:49
history. Thousands of lives saved.
00:27:51
strongest national security we've ever
00:27:53
had.
00:27:56
>> I I can't let that question go. I want
00:27:58
you guys to think about something for a
00:27:59
second. So, I I spent most of my career
00:28:01
in this state. I've talked to that
00:28:02
individual you just raised that asked
00:28:04
that question many many times. Don't get
00:28:07
distracted. When they talk start talking
00:28:10
about, hey, who in the whole of
00:28:11
government approach that has legal
00:28:12
authority is doing X, Y, and Z? They're
00:28:14
distracting you from the mission set,
00:28:16
which is to make sure that we know and
00:28:18
control every person that comes into
00:28:19
this country. the best way we possibly
00:28:21
can with tax dollars.
00:28:24
Please focus on the mission of
00:28:25
protecting Americans and don't allow
00:28:27
yourself to get distracted by some of
00:28:29
these politicians that want to have a
00:28:30
one-off question that literally it's
00:28:32
like a little shiny object that draws
00:28:34
you away from the focus. It doesn't
00:28:36
matter whose authority we're using that
00:28:39
day or how we're doing it. It comes back
00:28:40
to the tax dollar. And this is what I
00:28:42
can tell you President Trump is doing.
00:28:44
The power the the what I was told to do,
00:28:46
what Tom was told to do. Use the
00:28:48
American tax dollar the best you can
00:28:50
with the laws we have in place to make
00:28:51
sure that America is put first, that we
00:28:54
protect Americans. And that's what we're
00:28:56
doing. It cracks me up when somebody
00:28:58
like that wants to talk about, well, why
00:29:00
is John doing this instead of Jim?
00:29:03
We're protecting America. We're going to
00:29:05
do it the best way we think we possibly
00:29:06
can going forward, and we're going to
00:29:08
use all the authorities we have
00:29:09
available to us.
00:29:18
So the administration has said they're
00:29:20
going after the worst of the worst, but
00:29:22
there are some statistics that shows.
00:29:29
So what is your response?
00:29:34
>> Well, I can tell you everybody arrested
00:29:36
and said for deportation in the country
00:29:38
illegally, which is a violation of
00:29:39
federal law, and I just said we're going
00:29:42
to force the immigration law without
00:29:43
apology. Well, like I just said, a lot
00:29:46
of the people we arrest that are not
00:29:47
criminals are fugitives. They've had f
00:29:49
they got final orders issued by a
00:29:50
federal judge and they became a
00:29:52
fugitive. They didn't follow the court
00:29:53
order.
00:29:56
National security threats. Thousands of
00:29:58
national security threats have been
00:30:00
arrested. Most of them don't have a
00:30:01
criminal history because their whole
00:30:02
their whole game is to lay low to do
00:30:04
wait in here to do the dirty deed. But
00:30:07
yes, we are enforcing immigration law.
00:30:09
And where do we find most noncriminal,
00:30:12
non-public safety threat, non-national
00:30:15
security? In sanctuary cities because
00:30:17
we're forced into the neighborhood
00:30:18
because sanctuary cities won't let us in
00:30:20
the jail to arrest the bad guy. The the
00:30:22
public safety threat, which is safer for
00:30:25
the alien, safer for the agent, much
00:30:27
safer for the community. So sanctuary
00:30:29
cities, you force us isn't force us into
00:30:31
the neighborhood, we're going into the
00:30:33
neighborhood. And when we find a bad
00:30:35
guy, many times with others, if they're
00:30:37
in the country legally, they're coming
00:30:39
too. And let's not remember when people
00:30:41
say, "Well, a lot of these people are
00:30:42
just here illegally." They cheated the
00:30:45
system. They entered the country
00:30:47
illegally, which is a crime. They put
00:30:49
themselves ahead of millions of people
00:30:51
who are standing in line, taking their
00:30:53
test, doing the backgrounds
00:30:55
investigation, paying their fees to be
00:30:58
part of the greatest nation on earth.
00:31:00
But these people cheated. The system
00:31:01
went to the front of the line.
00:31:04
Asylum claims under Biden
00:31:06
administration,
00:31:08
millions of asylum claims, drawing
00:31:10
asylum claims. If anybody do their
00:31:12
research and look at immigration court
00:31:13
data, nearly nine out of 10 people who
00:31:16
claim asylum at the southern border end
00:31:17
up with an order removal. They simply do
00:31:20
not qualify for asylum. They're not
00:31:21
escaping fear and persecution from their
00:31:23
homeland because of race, religion, or
00:31:25
political affiliation. They're coming
00:31:27
here for better life. And I get that,
00:31:28
but it's not asylum. But we have
00:31:30
millions of people coming to border
00:31:31
making a false asylum claim. We got
00:31:34
thousands and thousands of people that
00:31:36
really are escaping fear and persecution
00:31:38
from their homeland and need us need the
00:31:40
United States help and they're sitting
00:31:42
in the back of the bus. No, we're going
00:31:44
to enforce it. We're going to enforce
00:31:45
laws of this country, laws enacted by
00:31:47
Congress. And I'll say it again, the
00:31:50
rhetoric against ICE and Bord Patrol is
00:31:52
disgusting and sickening, especially for
00:31:54
members of Congress who want to compare
00:31:56
them to Nazis and racist. Attacks on ICE
00:31:59
are up over 1,800%. These men and women
00:32:01
don't hang their heart on a hook every
00:32:03
day they come to work. They're enforcing
00:32:05
laws enacted by Congress. So if Congress
00:32:06
people don't like what they're doing,
00:32:08
then do your job and change law. That's
00:32:10
what the legislators for. Governors and
00:32:13
mayors who constantly push hateful
00:32:16
rhetoric against ICE. I said months ago
00:32:18
back in March, if the rhetoric didn't
00:32:20
stop, there's going to be bloodshed and
00:32:22
people are going to die. People say,
00:32:24
"Well, homeman's a fear monger. how you
00:32:26
know he's full of crap. We've had people
00:32:29
dead. We have people We had people shot.
00:32:32
We had agents shot at. We had Molotov
00:32:34
cocktail sewn on. We had someone go to
00:32:36
Dallas and shoot an ice facility.
00:32:38
Actually killed a couple of retaines.
00:32:41
It's not a joke. We're enforcing the law
00:32:45
and we can continue to enforce the law
00:32:46
because this country is much safer.
00:32:49
600,000 and and and and I'll challenge
00:32:51
you on the percentages because I look at
00:32:53
the data every morning. Every morning on
00:32:55
the way to White House, I look at 22
00:32:56
pages of data. The last data I look, we
00:32:59
we've been anywhere from 72% to 59% of
00:33:03
everybody arrest is a criminal.
00:33:06
Well, some of the media wants to
00:33:07
reclassify what a criminal is. Well, a
00:33:10
home is just a DUI. That's not really a
00:33:12
crime. 12,000 people you die from DUI.
00:33:15
It is a crime. So, we are prioritizing
00:33:17
public safety. Threats of data shows it.
00:33:19
But again, we're going to force
00:33:21
immigration law. If you're in the
00:33:23
country legally, you're not off the
00:33:24
table. And as Commissioner Scott says, I
00:33:27
would take advantage of CBP Home Act.
00:33:30
Leave on your own. Leave yourself an
00:33:32
opportunity to come back to this country
00:33:33
in a legal way. We're the most given
00:33:35
nation in the country. We welcome more
00:33:37
refugees in this country than anybody.
00:33:40
Leave the country on your own
00:33:44
and try to come back under legal program
00:33:47
because we have to seek you out, find
00:33:49
you, and deport you. There are statutory
00:33:51
bars that prevent you from ever coming
00:33:54
back in this country.
00:33:56
So do the right thing. Get your affairs
00:33:58
in orders and go home.
00:34:02
It's the most humane thing to do.
00:34:08
>> Thank you.
00:34:13
But commissioner, I wanted to find out
00:34:15
how many people
00:34:18
National Mr.
00:34:25
and the United
00:34:28
and talk a little bit about we haven't
00:34:30
seen anything yet
00:34:33
report about
00:34:37
going out
00:34:40
on that also. And then finally the New
00:34:54
But I don't
00:34:57
as you know big beautiful bill allowed
00:34:59
ICE to hire 10,000 more uh deportation
00:35:03
officers. For those that know I already
00:35:05
said over 20 million legal aliens in the
00:35:07
country. We had about 5,000 deportation
00:35:11
officers
00:35:12
vastly outnumbered. Some of these
00:35:14
deportation had a docket.
00:35:17
I mean doc, I mean their work, their
00:35:18
work work file. Thousands of people
00:35:20
they're supposed to keep track of and
00:35:22
locate. So 10,000 more agents. We're
00:35:24
tripling the workforce. So you see the
00:35:27
success we're having now. We're over
00:35:28
600,000 deportations.
00:35:30
Now triple the workforce on top of that.
00:35:33
So we have more men and women out there
00:35:36
on the front line. A lot more. Three
00:35:38
times as many. Second of all, I strongly
00:35:41
believe and have hope that DOJ is going
00:35:45
to win the sanctuary city battle.
00:35:48
Sanctuary cities slow us down. I be I
00:35:51
I've been fighting sanctuary city for
00:35:52
decades, but honest to God, truth, they
00:35:54
they're less efficient. They're
00:35:56
dangerous and they do slow us down cuz
00:35:58
rather than one agent arresting one
00:36:01
criminal alien in the county jail, they
00:36:04
release him. Now we got to send the
00:36:05
whole team for for officer safety
00:36:07
reasons to find him in the community and
00:36:10
in in on his turf he has access to who
00:36:13
knows what weapons. Getting somebody in
00:36:16
the safety and security jail is always
00:36:17
faster, more efficient
00:36:20
and safer. So as we take on these
00:36:23
sanctuary cities, I'm confident we'll
00:36:25
we'll we'll win that. We're going to be
00:36:27
a lot more efficient, especially
00:36:29
arresting the criminal alien. I think
00:36:31
the numbers going to go up and President
00:36:32
Trump is still committed all the
00:36:34
government approach. There's going to be
00:36:36
more than just ICE out there.
00:36:38
And I the more we keep this border
00:36:40
secure, the more men and women the board
00:36:41
will be help with that mission title 8
00:36:43
enforcement.
00:36:44
As far as the hiring, I think by the end
00:36:46
of January, we'll have all 10,000 on
00:36:48
board. Um
00:36:51
287G,
00:36:53
we got more 287g agreements now than we
00:36:56
ever had in the history of the nation.
00:36:58
It's exploded because law enforcement
00:37:00
across the country has recognized that
00:37:04
there are certain a certain percentage
00:37:05
of illegal aliens in their communities
00:37:07
that are criminals, a public safety
00:37:09
threat. And they recognize that and they
00:37:12
much rather help us take that criminal
00:37:13
off the street, make that community
00:37:15
safer. And that provide that lets them
00:37:18
do other things, right? Rather rather
00:37:19
than arresting the same illegal criminal
00:37:21
three or four times a month, arrest them
00:37:23
once. Work with us. Not only will we get
00:37:26
them out of your community, we'll get
00:37:27
them out the country. So, I think more
00:37:29
and more law enforcement are are are
00:37:32
joining the joining those programs. U
00:37:35
New Orleans, Louisiana, that governor
00:37:38
there has stepped up. We're working with
00:37:40
local and state law enforcement over
00:37:42
there targeting the worst of the worst,
00:37:43
getting them off the streets quicker.
00:37:45
The more help we get, the more efficient
00:37:47
we are and the faster we can move those
00:37:49
public safety threats.
00:37:53
So all the operations work together for
00:37:55
one purpose. Make sure that we know who
00:37:58
is in our country and it's consistent
00:38:00
with law. So you talked about Tom talked
00:38:02
about 287G. We talked about the interior
00:38:04
enforcement operations. And following up
00:38:07
on your question, I do want to
00:38:08
highlight. The decision on the illegal
00:38:11
aliens still exists. We created CBP1 or
00:38:15
CBP home app so that people could
00:38:17
actually self-deport. They could deport
00:38:19
on their time. It's much more
00:38:21
coordinated. It's easier. But from a
00:38:23
taxpayers's perspective, even one person
00:38:26
self-deporting through the CBP home app
00:38:29
saves countless manh hours depending on
00:38:32
what the background was of trying to
00:38:33
track that individual down. It saves a
00:38:36
ton of money from the actual deportation
00:38:37
detention process. It's well over
00:38:39
$10,000 savings for every taxpayer
00:38:42
depending on the on the illegal alien in
00:38:44
the process. That's that is being used.
00:38:47
The tools being used quite a bit. And
00:38:48
I'll just close with we're ramping it up
00:38:50
right now and it seems cheesy, but we're
00:38:52
calling it home for the holidays and CVP
00:38:55
will help you get home safely,
00:38:57
commercial airline, however you need it,
00:38:59
and we'll give you a,000 bucks once
00:39:00
you're out of the country and back in
00:39:02
your home country.
00:39:04
That is the easiest, best, safest way to
00:39:06
deport. And it's almost uh like the jail
00:39:09
aspect that that Tom talked about.
00:39:12
People want This is what I told my guys.
00:39:15
We're going to go out. We target. When
00:39:18
we go out, we have we know who we're
00:39:19
going to arrest. We're going to try. But
00:39:21
I refuse to tell federal agents to ever
00:39:23
ignore other illegal activity going on
00:39:25
in front of them. And being in the
00:39:26
country illegally is a crime. The best
00:39:29
way you can save us from having that
00:39:31
negative interaction is use the CBP1 CBP
00:39:34
home app. Self-epport. Saves us all a
00:39:37
lot of time and a lot of money. It's a
00:39:39
very useful tool.
00:39:46
President Trump said that you expected
00:39:48
along
00:39:51
those
00:39:53
years.
00:39:59
>> Look, the bottom line is the numbers I
00:40:02
just explained to you show this
00:40:03
administration is knocking it out of the
00:40:05
ballpark. Rodney is one of my closest
00:40:07
friends. We disagree on things.
00:40:10
The bottom line is we work together to
00:40:12
create the most secure border in the
00:40:13
history of this nation. We have record
00:40:15
deportations.
00:40:17
Secretaries out there doing a great job.
00:40:19
I mean, look at the numbers. The numbers
00:40:20
are there where they're now. But when
00:40:22
you get people with decades of
00:40:24
experience, they're going there there
00:40:25
may be disagreements, but that's been
00:40:27
overplayed so much is ridiculous. U we
00:40:30
all come to work every day. We're
00:40:32
working for the greatest president in
00:40:34
the history of this nation. I don't care
00:40:35
if you like that or not. I don't a lot
00:40:36
of people get pissed off when I say
00:40:37
that. I've been I work for six
00:40:39
presidents. Six.
00:40:42
I'm a border guy. No one's done border
00:40:45
security,
00:40:47
national security, and immigration
00:40:49
enforcement more better than President
00:40:52
Trump. His success is unprecedented. And
00:40:56
we're all working for that man. And it's
00:40:59
his leadership and his guidance that's
00:41:00
caused success. He brought Secretary
00:41:02
Nommen. He brought me in, brought Ronnie
00:41:05
Scott in. Well, a lot of good people in
00:41:07
and the success proves it. So despite
00:41:09
all the stories out there about we're
00:41:10
all in fighting,
00:41:13
we're a team and the numbers prove the
00:41:15
success of this team.
00:41:19
>> I just wanted to follow up on writing
00:41:21
that announcement about the tour.
00:41:25
Can you explain one second
00:41:30
or second?
00:41:37
So, our interaction with Department of
00:41:39
War, whether it be a uh what we call an
00:41:41
NDA, National Defense Area, or or other
00:41:44
locations, again, we're going to hear a
00:41:46
theme, one team, one fight. The numbers
00:41:49
will change depending on what we believe
00:41:50
the threat and the requirement is to
00:41:52
make sure that we have that section of
00:41:53
border sealed. And when I say sealed, I
00:41:56
mean we want to know everything that
00:41:57
crosses. And we want to be able to
00:41:58
interdict it, make a conscious decision
00:42:00
consistent with law, who gets to come
00:42:02
and stay in this country. the numbers
00:42:04
will fluctuate. The Department of of War
00:42:07
is exactly like CBP. It's a national
00:42:10
entity. So, we're looking at the
00:42:12
national security aspects. We're looking
00:42:13
at the entire southwest border, not just
00:42:15
San Diego sector. So, or San Diego
00:42:17
County even. So, the numbers will
00:42:19
fluctuate, but we will ask for whatever
00:42:21
support we need from the Department of
00:42:23
War to make sure that the people in San
00:42:25
Diego and the people of this entire
00:42:26
country are safe.
00:42:39
I would like to ask about our titles
00:42:44
which saves lives and violence in
00:42:48
what the CP
00:42:51
are now.
00:42:54
So, do you think that
00:43:00
>> 100%. So, I I'll get into the weeds a
00:43:03
little bit on your question, but the
00:43:05
number one way that CBP right now today
00:43:07
as we speak is saving countless lives is
00:43:11
we've changed the decision matrix for
00:43:13
the potential illegal alien, they're not
00:43:15
paying the cartels. We went from 18,000
00:43:18
encounters in the last administration in
00:43:20
a single day with hundreds probably
00:43:23
thousands of miles of border completely
00:43:25
unmanned because every agent was taken
00:43:27
off of the line and they were dealing
00:43:28
with processing fraudulent immigration
00:43:30
claims to the point where we have it
00:43:33
today less than on average right now
00:43:35
last 21 days is below 200 illegal
00:43:38
entries a day on the entire southwest
00:43:41
border. How many people are not going to
00:43:43
subject themselves to the cartels? How
00:43:45
many people are not going to fall for
00:43:47
the cartel's lies that they can cross
00:43:49
through the desert west of here without
00:43:51
water? How many people are going to not
00:43:53
fall for the cartel's lies that Otai
00:43:55
Mountain doesn't freeze?
00:43:58
I don't know how to put a number on
00:43:59
that, but we're saving countless lives.
00:44:02
But our investment to making sure we're
00:44:03
out there is even more than ever before.
00:44:05
Our borear teams, our search and rescue
00:44:08
teams, they're still active. Our beacons
00:44:10
are still active. But here's the biggest
00:44:12
difference. They're active in the field.
00:44:15
They're patrolling in between the ports
00:44:17
of entry. They're patrolling up the
00:44:18
coast. They're patrolling out in the
00:44:20
desert. In the last administration, they
00:44:22
were locked in a building, literally
00:44:24
processing fraudulent claims. There's
00:44:27
probably no way we're ever going to be
00:44:29
able to put an actual number on how many
00:44:31
lives are being saved by this improved
00:44:32
border security.
00:44:34
But those of you here in San Diego, I
00:44:36
encourage you to think about it for a
00:44:37
minute. You have a front row seat and
00:44:40
you've seen it. What we're doing today,
00:44:43
we did in short spurts in the past.
00:44:45
Where you're standing today, there were
00:44:47
thousands of illegal aliens pouring
00:44:49
here. There's a campground just over
00:44:50
this hill that was considered forbidden
00:44:53
land back in the 90s and early 2000s
00:44:55
because we had given up this territory
00:44:57
to the cartels. We proved here in San
00:45:00
Diego that when we secure the border, we
00:45:03
actually make people a lot safer. We
00:45:05
empower the economy, which is why
00:45:07
there's housing developments less than a
00:45:09
quarter of a mile on both sides of the
00:45:10
border. Now, from here, a shopping
00:45:12
outlet center that would have never
00:45:13
existed, schools that would have never
00:45:15
existed because the men and women of CBP
00:45:18
secured this section of border. I also
00:45:20
want to remind you, President Trump came
00:45:22
here in 2017, talked to the border
00:45:24
patrol agents, talked to CBP officers,
00:45:26
asked what worked and what didn't work,
00:45:28
and then he said, "I've got your back.
00:45:30
I'm going to have policies to make what
00:45:32
you did in this microcosm a national
00:45:34
issue." We're doing this not just in San
00:45:37
Diego. We're doing this across the
00:45:38
entire southwest border, expanding up
00:45:40
the coast, and we're improving our our
00:45:42
footprint on the northern border. How do
00:45:44
you ever count how many lives you saved?
00:45:47
I don't know, but I guarantee it's tens
00:45:48
of thousands.
00:45:51
>> We have one last question
00:45:58
from Kansas City. Can you talk briefly
00:46:01
about new technologies, the idea of a
00:46:03
smart border? Can you say how American
00:46:05
citizens are being surveiled by these
00:46:07
new technologies and how they will be
00:46:09
surveiled going forward?
00:46:13
>> United States Customs and Border
00:46:15
Protection is focused on knowing and
00:46:17
controlling who and what enters this
00:46:19
United States. We're not in the business
00:46:21
of surveilling US citizens.
00:46:24
That's it.
00:46:30
One final statement I'll make before we
00:46:31
end this thing. Um, I started in board
00:46:35
1984
00:46:37
and I became an ice agent.
00:46:40
I I'm the first ICE director actually
00:46:42
came up through the ranks. I've been
00:46:43
doing this a long time.
00:46:45
I want you all to remember the men and
00:46:48
women's around us in uniform. They're
00:46:51
patriots. They put their lives on this
00:46:53
country lives in in jeopardy every day
00:46:56
when they wear that gun, put that cover
00:46:58
vest on. Throughout my career, I buried
00:47:01
Bordell agents. are buried ice agents.
00:47:03
I'm begging the politicians, the
00:47:05
governors, the mayors who constantly
00:47:07
attack these men and women, please stop.
00:47:13
I don't want to bury anybody else.
00:47:18
It's not a joke. We're out there
00:47:20
enforcing laws.
00:47:23
Not only I care about the safety of the
00:47:25
men and women in uniform, I safety I
00:47:27
care about the safety of those we're
00:47:29
looking for and apprehending. I go to
00:47:31
bed every night and pray that no one
00:47:32
dies during this operation. No one dies
00:47:35
on the border. I've seen too much death.
00:47:39
And for those who don't like me, wear my
00:47:40
shoes for 40 years. See, see the
00:47:42
tragedies I've seen that's burned in me
00:47:44
forever. And you understand why it's so
00:47:46
important we secure the border and save
00:47:48
lives.
00:47:50
I want you to remember 3:00 this
00:47:51
morning, I bet every one of you will be
00:47:53
sleeping comfortable in your bed.
00:47:56
These men and women will be standing on
00:47:58
a dirt trail someplace because a sensor
00:48:00
went off. Is it just someone coming for
00:48:03
better life or is a heavily armed drug
00:48:05
smugger? They don't know, but they're
00:48:07
going to take it on every night across
00:48:11
this nation.
00:48:14
God bless the men and women of ICE, CBP,
00:48:17
and all federal law enforcement that's
00:48:20
involved in creating the most secure
00:48:22
border and historic deportation
00:48:26
operation. God bless all of them. God
00:48:27
bless this country. We're doing the
00:48:30
right thing. There's a reason me and
00:48:32
Rodney came out of retirement to do this
00:48:35
because we believe we're saving lives
00:48:37
every day. The men and women of Ice and
00:48:39
Bord Patrol are patriots.
00:48:43
Hard stop. Love each and every one of
00:48:46
them. Thank you for coming today. I
00:48:47
appreciate you.
00:48:50
>> Thank you everybody. If you have
00:48:52
questions, please send them to
00:48:55
press office
00:48:58
includers. Thank you.
00:49:16
All
00:49:45
right. All right, if you're going to get your standups, we're only going to be up
00:49:48
here for another 35 minutes at most. So,
00:49:51
get set up, knock them out, get out.
00:50:12
I think that's
00:50:13
>> Look at all these. This is crazy.
00:50:20
>> Hold on.
