Sanctuary cities will face federal action, including the removal of federal funding, as they hinder law enforcement cooperation with ICE. These cities release public safety threats back into communities, increasing risks for the public and law enforcement. Currently, operations are targeting cities like Chicago. The U.S. military's assistance, including airlift support, is deemed essential for removing detained illegal immigrants, allowing ICE officers to focus on apprehending criminals rather than transportation duties. This collaboration with the Department of Defense will enhance operational efficiency and safety in immigration enforcement.

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."

We do not enforce immigration laws based on individuals' immigration status, a practice we've maintained for 50 years. Moving forward, I aim to reassure the community, which is understandably anxious due to recent rhetoric. Our primary mission is to protect everyone in our communities. Engaging in immigration enforcement or roundups would undermine that mission.

Huntington Beach has been designated a non-sanctuary city. This means that the city and its law enforcement will cooperate with ICE and other federal agencies to combat crime. The city will not violate federal immigration laws by harboring individuals sought by federal authorities.

I want to send a clear message to ICE: I am ready to assist you. We will prioritize helping you target criminal illegal immigrants, including drug dealers and human traffickers, as well as those who cross our borders without proper controls. We now have millions of undocumented individuals in our country, many of whom break the law. Our main focus is on criminal illegals, and we will provide ICE with any support we can, regardless of whether we are a blue or sanctuary state. Our new governor has a duty to ensure the safety of our state, and if they fail, they will be held responsible. As an elected sheriff, I answer to the people, not the governor or county commissioners. My priority is your safety and the safety of our county within the state.

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.

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.

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.

This administration has created chaos, leading to personal attacks and threats against me and my family. Law enforcement is now seen as the enemy, while those who break the law are viewed as victims. Mayors and governors opposing ICE's efforts should listen to the distressing tape of a girl fighting for her life, a situation that occurs daily due to illegal immigration. President Trump emphasizes the need to prioritize public safety and national security threats, which are crucial for community safety. Every leader should focus on removing these threats from their neighborhoods, putting community well-being above political disagreements.

You've protected Texas and the nation. Unfortunately, some governors and mayors oppose our efforts, especially regarding interior enforcement. We face a mass deportation situation following a surge in illegal immigration, where many claim asylum but ultimately receive removal orders. We must enforce these orders; otherwise, immigration courts become ineffective. Allowing individuals to stay sends the wrong message and undermines our laws. ICE will face challenges, but we will not tolerate those who obstruct our operations. It's time to address illegal alien crime and prioritize public safety. President Trump is dedicated to securing the border and focusing on national security threats. Mayors and governors must collaborate with us to remove these threats from communities, as the situation at the southern border has created significant vulnerabilities.

The mayor addressed the city council's push for an investigation into whether the NYPD shared sealed records with ICE, potentially violating local law. The mayor stated the city does not collaborate with agencies on civil enforcement, as the law prohibits it, but does collaborate on criminal enforcement. The mayor expressed disappointment that the city council is focusing on investigating collaboration instead of advocating for going after those who commit serious crimes against New Yorkers, migrants, and asylum seekers. The mayor reiterated the city's focus should be on protecting innocent New Yorkers and that they do not collaborate on civil enforcement. The mayor stated ICE is not a criminal organization, but a federal law enforcement organization, and the city will use them to protect innocent people.

Today’s operation in Chicago, led by multiple federal agencies, focused on public safety and national security. We successfully apprehended serious offenders, including sex offenders and gang members, removing significant threats from the streets. This operation was meticulously planned, targeting individuals with criminal and immigration histories. In Aurora, there was a major bust involving illegal immigrants, guns, and drugs. Unfortunately, local policies hinder our ability to access jails, making it difficult to apprehend dangerous individuals directly. We need cooperation to ensure public safety; sanctuary city policies only protect criminals, not communities. Law enforcement should collaborate to keep everyone safe, including immigrant communities.

We support legal immigration and secure borders. We stand with Governor Abbott and Texas in reminding the federal government that states have the right to protect their citizens under the constitution.

Mary Andy Ginther addresses residents to discuss the increase in federal immigration law enforcement activity in the city. She states that while the city cannot prevent federal agents from being present, it does not discriminate against any residents based on immigration status. She says, “Do not obstruct federal law enforcement activity,” but if you see something you don’t think is right or interacting with law enforcement officials, it’s okay to record that conversation on your phone. She also emphasizes that residents should continue to feel safe to call Columbus police and 911. Ginther reassures residents that “Our police will not be used to carry out these operations.” She outlines rights and practical guidance for interacting with authorities. She instructs residents to create a safety plan with their family and loved ones, to carry identification or documentation of their status, and to stay calm and truthful when interacting with law enforcement. She reminds people, “Remember, you have the right to remain silent,” and advises memorizing the phone number of someone they can call if they need help. She reiterates that Columbus is already safe without federal intervention and urges residents to take care of one another. Ginther closes by noting that community leaders see and support you, expressing gratitude with “Thank you.”

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.

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?

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is threatening to arrest ICE agents if they try to deport undocumented migrants. He emphasizes his commitment to protect the people of Chicago from what he sees as threats from the current administration. Johnson argues that targeting undocumented individuals undermines public accommodations and poses a risk to civility and democracy. He asserts that these individuals are part of the community and vows to take action to safeguard them.

San Francisco remains a sanctuary city, committed to protecting its immigrant community. The sheriff's office will not participate in immigration raids or federal law enforcement actions against immigrants. A sanctuary city fosters safety, encouraging individuals to report and testify about crimes without fear. Immigrants have played a vital role in building and enriching the nation, and San Francisco proudly supports and celebrates its immigrant population. We stand together for immigrants, families, and workers. This is what community looks like.

This administration has caused chaos, leading to personal attacks and death threats against me. Law enforcement is now seen as the enemy, while lawbreakers are viewed as victims. Mayors and governors opposing ICE's efforts should listen to the distressing tape of a girl fighting for her life, a situation that occurs daily due to illegal immigration. President Trump emphasizes prioritizing public safety and national security threats, which are critical for community safety. Every leader should focus on removing these threats from their neighborhoods, as protecting the community should be their top responsibility, regardless of political feelings towards Trump.

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.

We will not engage in efforts that harm our communities. Mass deportations, as proposed by the president-elect, will misallocate essential resources. It's crucial for everyone to educate themselves on this issue. Refer to Title 8, United States Code 1324, which outlines the legal implications of harboring or concealing an illegal alien; it is a felony. Understanding this statute is vital to avoid crossing legal boundaries.
