Cities cannot ignore federal law due to lack of funding for enforcement. A nearby city faced economic decline after implementing similar policies. The federal government must enforce laws, but the current administration has failed to provide necessary funding. Biden would not allow cities to ignore federal law.

The speaker announces a plan to end all sanctuary cities in North Carolina and across the country. Upon taking office, the speaker plans to surge federal law enforcement to cities failing to turn over criminal aliens. The speaker states they will hunt down and capture every gang member, drug dealer, rapist, murderer, and migrant criminal being illegally harbored. The speaker claims that the top 25 worst cities are Democrat-run.

The speaker asks if cities should be allowed to ignore federal law regarding reporting illegal immigrants and provide sanctuary. Speaker 1 claims cities ignore federal law due to lack of federal funding for enforcement. They cite a city that imposed similar sanctions, resulting in economic decline with stores closing, leading to a policy change. The speaker asserts the federal government has been derelict in not funding the requirements needed to enforce existing law. The speaker asks Biden if he would allow cities to ignore federal law. Biden answers, "No."

The speaker claims the incoming administration wants to rectify abuses by enforcing immigration law, stating that those who entered illegally should leave. They allege the administration is stopping deportations. The speaker asserts that, according to the courts, it is lawful to be unlawful if you're Joe Biden, but unlawful to be lawful if you're Donald Trump.

Chicago leaders are urging residents to resist Trump's deportation policies. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy acknowledged he was hiding someone without full documentation above his garage. The government’s response to this could lead to prosecution for knowingly harboring an illegal alien, as it violates U.S. law. The Trump administration plans to sue sanctuary cities, claiming they protect criminals. An example cited is a case in New York City where a failure to share information led to the death of a child. Sanctuary cities are blamed for numerous deaths, and the administration is prepared to take this issue to the Supreme Court to end their protections. A 2011 study indicated there were 3 million criminal aliens in the U.S.

A judge in San Francisco issued a nationwide injunction regarding the defunding of sanctuary cities. The speaker believes it's unbelievable that judges in San Francisco or San Diego would rule this way, stating that the U.S. shouldn't have sanctuary cities. According to the speaker, sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals, protecting them, and should be closed down to ensure a safe country. The speaker says "we have to get rid of sanctuary cities."

President Trump has directed us to stop states from non-compliance with federal law. We've already addressed Illinois and New York. If your state isn't complying, you're next. New York's green light laws prevent law enforcement from checking the identities of illegal aliens during stops, blocking access to their backgrounds. This endangers law enforcement officers who face risks daily from violent criminals, gang members, drug traffickers, and human smugglers. We're here to ensure these individuals no longer terrorize Americans. If you don't follow federal law, you will be held accountable. It's over, and we're coming after you.

The speaker claims that sanctuary cities violate federal law and that individuals involved are committing a federal crime. They assert that these cities lack the authority under federal law and the Constitution to disregard even a civil warrant for someone who has violated a federal offense when a detainer notice is received.

The speaker states that because they are in a sanctuary city, they do not report illegal immigrants. They claim to have released a double homicide suspect because of this policy. The speaker says someone came to pick up $320,000 from their grandparents and is working their way through it. The speaker is asked to take seriously that someone is repeating an offense while being illegal. The person is reportedly in Chinatown, New York.

AOC is doing webinars that give advice to undocumented immigrants about how to avoid being caught and how to stay in the United States, which may be gaming the system. I've contacted the Deputy Attorney General to see if this is obstructing law enforcement. I need the DOJ to determine if a line has been crossed. In my opinion, this is an impediment. We need advice on how to move forward. If necessary, we will take every federal dollar out of the city. This is a matter of public and community safety. Releasing dangerous people endangers the public, our officers, and even undocumented immigrants. If sanctuary cities won't act to make their communities safer, President Trump will.

The speaker states they are consistent in their policies regarding immigration, both before and after Trump's election. They believe the federal government must handle immigration and that open borders would cost cities $7.5 billion. As a lifelong law enforcement official, the speaker maintains that public safety is a prerequisite to prosperity and that the federal government is constitutionally responsible for immigration. They argue against shifting responsibility to cities, regardless of who is president. When asked if they are okay with the Trump administration's handling of immigration, the speaker reiterates that the entire federal government must focus on immigration. They emphasize the positive contributions of immigrants to the city and that mayors should not have to manage the issue. The speaker avoids a direct yes or no answer, maintaining consistency in their stance.

Hello, friends. Recently, a Trump official issued a memorandum threatening local law enforcement with jail time if they don’t cooperate with federal immigration officials. However, there is no law requiring local officials to do so. Our state's resources should focus on state matters, not federal immigration enforcement. Local law enforcement should not act as agents for the Trump administration, which has previously lost in court trying to coerce states. I have no fear of the Trump administration. We will prioritize our state’s business and will not interfere with federal operations, but we will not carry out their demands. Thank you.

Cities ignore federal law on reporting illegal immigrants because there is no federal funding for enforcement. A city near Speaker 1's state tried similar sanctions, but it led to negative consequences like store closures. The problem lies in the lack of federal government enforcement and funding. The current administration has failed to provide the necessary resources to enforce existing laws. When asked if he would allow cities to ignore federal law, Biden responds with a clear "no."

The speaker argues that the federal government should address remittances sent by illegal workers, stating that stopping those remittances would be a huge disincentive for people to come and remain illegally. They advocate using federal tools to influence immigration behavior and enforcement. They also address sanctuary cities, noting that Congress can defund them. The speaker mentions that Republicans in the House had voted to continue funding sanctuary cities, and questions why that would be the case. They urge defunding sanctuary cities, implying that using available tools to create an environment that promotes the rule of law is important.

I filed a lawsuit against Saint Joseph County Sheriff Redmond for his department's refusal to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, which allows criminal aliens to remain in the county. This noncompliance with Indiana law has serious consequences for our community, straining schools, healthcare, and law enforcement. I respect our law enforcement but will hold those accountable who violate the law. The influx of illegal immigrants is a significant issue, exacerbated by the current administration's border policies. We are actively working to enforce state laws against sanctuary cities, having successfully revised policies in several local jurisdictions. Today, we are initiating a lawsuit against Sheriff Redmond and his department to ensure compliance with federal immigration laws.

The US Attorney for the Central District of California states California is a sanctuary state that doesn't recognize ICE detainers, facilitating the release of criminal illegal immigrants. The federal government may withhold funding from states that don't honor ICE detainers. The office will file criminal charges for illegal immigrants who unlawfully re-entered the US. The speaker discusses a case where an individual sentenced to ten years for killing two teenagers may only serve three. The office will charge him with illegal reentry, potentially leading to 20 years in federal prison, followed by deportation. The current administration is enforcing the law regarding deported individuals who re-enter the country, a change from the previous administration. Last year, only seven such cases were filed, while this year, over 250 have already been filed. The message to those considering re-entry or re-offending is: don't. Immigration laws are not up for negotiation and must be followed.

The subcommittee is addressing efforts to nullify federal immigration laws by "sanctuary cities," which allegedly harbor violent criminals who prey on citizens and immigrant communities. Over the last four years, Democrats purportedly trafficked over 8 million unvetted and illegal migrants, including dangerous criminals and cartels, into the country, ignoring warnings from law enforcement. The speaker claims that President Trump enforced immigration laws, leading to a 96% plunge in illegal crossings and a 99% drop in migrants crossing the Darien Gap. ICE has supposedly arrested over 100,000 illegal migrants, most with criminal records. The speaker calls for the "largest mass repatriation in history." Democrats are accused of obstructing immigration law enforcement, with examples given such as Adam County, Washington, Chicago, and Denver suburbs. Gavin Newsom is said to have approved $50 million for legal defenses against the Trump administration. San Francisco is allegedly leading a lawsuit against the Trump administration to prevent withholding federal funds from sanctuary jurisdictions. President Trump directed law enforcement to ensure sanctuary jurisdictions do not receive federal funds and sued jurisdictions like Illinois and New York. The speaker urges Congress to enact stronger laws to prevent future administrations from reversing these policies.

Let's be clear, the sanctuary city mayors are here with legal counsel. Things have changed since the election. We've exposed how quickly the border could be secured if the executive branch enforced the law. Now, cities are paying attention and lawyering up. These mayors' policies, like those of the previous president, have real consequences. I have with me a family who lost their son to an illegal immigrant. You mayors have a responsibility to everyone. You cooperate with other law enforcement agencies, but not ICE, which removes criminal illegals. America is tired of this betrayal. Some of you said you'd go to jail. We might take you up on that. People are separated from their children all the time when they commit felonies, but at least they get to come home. This young man will never come home, and it never should have happened. We're entering a new era of enforcing our laws.

The president signed an executive order this week threatening to defund sanctuary cities. The speaker questions why the leaders of these cities, who are allegedly harboring and shielding illegal aliens and terrorists from deportation, are not arrested instead.

The speaker states that because they are in a sanctuary city, they do not report illegal immigrants. They claim to have released a double homicide suspect due to this policy. The speaker says someone came to pick up $320,000 from their grandparents and is working their way through it. The speaker is asked to call ICE but refuses, citing the sanctuary city status. They are asked to take seriously that someone is repeating an offense while being illegal. The person is reportedly in Chinatown, New York.

I'm proud to be part of this effort. We've taken significant action against sanctuary cities, halting federal funding and filing lawsuits against Chicago and Illinois for their policies. Sanctuary cities prioritize illegal aliens over the safety of their citizens and law enforcement. We are holding city and state leaders accountable, including the mayor and governor. If they don't comply with federal law, they will face consequences. What about those who tipped off the trend day, Arawak?

Speaker 0 raises the question of whether cities should be allowed to ignore federal law regarding reporting of illegal immigrants and effectively provide sanctuary to immigrants. Speaker 1 responds by explaining that cities ignore federal law because there is no funding at the federal level to support the kind of enforcement required. He references the New York Times, noting that a city near his state implemented similar sanctions and subsequently experienced adverse effects—“their city went in the dumpster,” with stores closing and other consequences—leading to a policy reversal. He argues that the underlying issue is the need for a federal government capable of enforcing laws and asserts that the administration has been fundamentally derelict in not funding the requirements needed to enforce the existing laws. Speaker 0 follows up with a direct question to Senator Biden: yes or no—“Would you allow the cities to ignore the federal law?” Speaker 1 answers: No. Speaker 0 closes with a brief, informal remark: “You okay.”

A Democratic primary winner, Zorraine Mamdani, vowed to kick the "fascist ice" out of New York City. In response, Speaker 1 stated that federal law trumps Mamdani's plans. Because New York City is a sanctuary city, ICE will double and triple down their efforts there. Speaker 1 claims that sanctuary cities release public safety and national security threats back to the street. Since they can't arrest individuals in county jails, they will send teams to find them, along with others who have been arrested. Worksite enforcement will increase tenfold. Speaker 1 stated that if they can't arrest individuals in jail or find them in neighborhoods, they will find them at worksites.

Chicago leaders are urging residents to resist Trump's deportation policies. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy acknowledged he sheltered someone without full documentation. In response, there are concerns about potential legal consequences for harboring undocumented individuals, as it may violate U.S. law. The Trump administration plans to pursue legal action against sanctuary cities, which are criticized for protecting criminals. An example is given of a case in New York City where a suspect, if handed over, could have prevented a tragic death. The administration aims to challenge sanctuary cities, even if it reaches the Supreme Court.

"Would you allow these cities to ignore the federal law regarding the reporting of illegal immigrants and in fact provide sanctuary to these immigrants?" "The reason the cities ignore the federal law is the fact that there is no funding at the federal level to provide for the kind of enforcement at the federal level you need." "Pick up the New York Times today. There's a city not far across the river from my state that imposed a similar sanctions." "And what they found out is, as a consequence of that, their city went in the dumps in in the dumpster. Stores started closing." "Everything started to happen, and they changed the policy."
