The speaker asserts the need to clean up the system, stating they will no longer pay $200,000,000 a year for housekeeping. They claim they will not pay for healthcare for illegal immigrants in states submitting those claims. The speaker questions why residents of states like Mississippi, Texas, or Florida should pay for healthcare for illegal immigrants in California. They state that the nation needs to be aligned to make the system work.

Many U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, Detroit, Baltimore, New York, and San Francisco, would like a Democratic congressional delegation to address issues in their districts. The speaker highlights the case of an alleged MS-13 gang member who is an El Salvadoran citizen. Democrats are allegedly complaining about the cost of repatriating criminals and gang members to their home countries, while simultaneously wanting to fund congressional trips for press conferences. The speaker claims Americans want safe cities and the ability for their children to be safe. They believe the Democratic Party prioritizes alleged gang members and illegal immigrants over American citizens, which is why Trump is president. The speaker concludes that the Trump administration will bring about the changes Americans desire.

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."

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."

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 the budget will focus on speeding up the deportation of illegal aliens arrested for crimes. They reference Senator Biden's stance that cities should not ignore federal law. The speaker believes in tough conditions, urging undocumented people to come out of the shadows, and supports deporting those who have committed crimes, no questions asked. Undocumented workers broke immigration laws and must be held accountable, especially those who may be dangerous.

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 asserts that the Democratic party opposes federal enforcement of immigration laws and arrests/deportations of illegal alien criminals, using a "violent mob" to obstruct immigration law enforcement. They claim President Trump has a mandate to reverse Biden's open border policies and end the lawlessness of California's leaders, promising a large-scale deportation campaign undeterred by left-wing riots. Sanctuary cities will allegedly no longer shield illegal criminals. Examples of removed individuals include a Vietnamese national convicted of murder, a Mexican national convicted of child molestation, a Filipino national convicted of rape, and others with convictions for statutory rape, narcotics violations, domestic violence, and assault. An illegal alien from Mexico was arrested for allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement. The speaker claims law-abiding citizens don't want these individuals in their communities. Any attempts to copy the violence to stop deportation efforts will fail, and lawlessness will strengthen the president's resolve to defend Americans from violent criminal illegal aliens.

Cities ignore federal law on reporting illegal immigrants due to lack of federal funding for enforcement. A city near the speaker's state faced negative consequences, such as store closures, when they imposed similar sanctions. The speaker emphasizes the need for a federal government that can enforce laws and criticizes the current administration for not funding law enforcement requirements. When asked if he would allow cities to ignore federal law, Biden responds with a clear "no."

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 claims that under the current administration's policies, individuals can face significant jail time for child trafficking. They allege the Biden administration trafficked 500,000 children into the U.S. and helped them disappear, which they consider criminal. The speaker asserts that sanctuary states and cities violate laws against harboring, evading authorities, smuggling, concealing, and obstructing justice. They state President Trump is preparing an executive order to clamp down on sanctuary cities, calling them a "cancer on our democracy." The speaker says President Trump will soon take action against the radical left's efforts to shield illegal aliens, with measures more robust and aggressive than anything done before.

AOC is doing webinars to help illegals avoid apprehension and remain in the country by gaming the system. I've contacted the Deputy Attorney General to determine if this impedes law enforcement efforts and whether she's crossing a line. The DOJ will advise if further action is needed, including impeachment. If necessary, we'll defund sanctuary cities because public and community safety is the priority. Releasing criminals endangers the public, law enforcement, and even the individuals themselves. If sanctuary cities won't act to make their communities safer, President Trump will. Blue cities across America, get ready.

Entitlement spending is most of the federal spending. It's a mechanism by which Democrats attract and retain illegal immigrants by essentially paying them to come here and then turning them into voters. This is why the Democrats are so upset about the border situation. If we turn off this gigantic money magnet for illegal immigrants, then they will leave, and they will lose voters.

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.

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.

We are halting all grant funding to NGOs that facilitate illegal immigration. Millions of taxpayer dollars have been misused to support this issue, and we are reevaluating how these funds are spent to ensure they strengthen our country and enhance safety. Many NGOs operate not only in the U.S. but also in Mexico, encouraging illegal immigrants to cross the border. Initially, I viewed NGOs as charitable organizations, but I've come to see that some function as shadow governments, using taxpayer money for actions the federal government cannot legally undertake. This has compromised our national security, and we will no longer support these operations with federal funding.

If law enforcement officers forsake their oath of office by failing to act when they see people swarming detention centers, obstructing traffic, burning cars, and trying to injure people, they are in violation of their oath. Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom are asked to state their position on the 12,000,000 people residing illegally in the U.S. amidst a $2,000,000,000,000 deficit, and what their solution is for the 300,000 to 500,000 people believed to have criminal records. The speaker questions the Mexican government's position, suggesting a bill to tax remittances, which could lead to higher taxes on these remittances. The speaker states that violent demonstrators believe they will be subsidized with social services to free up money to send to Mexico, its greatest source of foreign exchange, while the cartels kill between sixty and eighty thousand Americans. Gavin Newsom is accused of siding with people committing violence and pouring gasoline on a volatile situation.

We're announcing that we've halted all grant funding to NGOs that facilitate illegal immigration. It's shocking how much federal money has been misused in this way. I've taken action to reevaluate these funds to ensure taxpayer dollars are used to strengthen our country and keep it safe. We need to scrutinize how federal grants are utilized. No more money will be spent to undermine our nation. We will uphold President Trump's commitment to secure our border, remove those here illegally, and ensure taxpayer funds are not used to support this situation.

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.”

Secretary: Today, we are announcing that we have stopped all grant funding that's being abused by NGOs to facilitate illegal immigration into this country. It's amazing to me the hundreds of millions of dollars that have been spent by the federal government that has been sent to NGOs to facilitate this invasion of our country. I have taken action to stop that funding, to reevaluate it, and to make sure that we're actually using taxpayer dollars in a way that strengthens this country and keeps us safe. People are curious how grants given out by federal agencies are utilized, and that evaluation needs to be done. We're not spending another dime to help the destruction of this country. We're going to follow through on what president Trump promised, to secure our border, depart those who are here illegally and committing criminal actions, and ensure taxpayer dollars aren't spent to assist it. Speaker: And, Madam Secretary, I don't think people fully understand the role that NGOs play in facilitating illegal immigration. I want to share these numbers up on the screen: we spend over $380,000,000 in 2024 for sheltering and service programs for illegal immigrants. But the vast network of NGOs that help facilitate it through Panama, through Mexico, and make it a landing spot here in the United States is a massive contributor to illegal immigration. So what you're telling us today is that now stops? At least the federal funding of that stops? Secretary: Yes. The Department of Homeland Security has stopped spending those dollars to fund those NGOs. What’s been revealing is that many of these NGOs actually have infrastructure and operations set up in Mexico on that side of the border, telling illegal immigrants to come to them, and they will get them across the border. So they're not just operating in the United States. They're operating outside of the United States to help make it easier for those who want to break our laws. And while I was one of those Americans years ago when somebody said NGO to me, I thought, oh, that's amazing—a nonprofit telling somebody about Jesus or spreading faith and charitable work, helping people less fortunate. Then I realized over the years it's been perverted into this shadow government. An NGO is sometimes an operation that does things the government cannot do, can't legally do, so they create an entity to use government dollars, taxpayer dollars, to do something that the federal government isn't allowed to do—to perform a shadow government operation that has recently been used to undermine our country's national security.

We are announcing the cessation of federal grant funding to NGOs that facilitate illegal immigration. Hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars have been misused to support this issue, and we are committed to reevaluating these funds to ensure they strengthen our country and enhance safety. Many NGOs operate in Mexico, encouraging illegal immigrants to cross the border. Initially, NGOs were seen as charitable organizations, but they have evolved into entities that sometimes undermine national security by performing actions the government cannot legally undertake. While some NGOs do valuable work, their role in facilitating illegal immigration is concerning.

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.

"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."
