Massachusetts is not a sanctuary state, but Boston is a sanctuary city. According to Speaker 1, the state is operating like a sanctuary state. Law enforcement agencies and state agencies have reached out to the governor's office to turn individuals wanted for murder in El Salvador over to ICE. Speaker 1 questions why previously deported individuals, including registered sex offenders already on Massachusetts probation, are not turned over. Speaker 1 cites the example of a deported sex offender living across the street from a playground that the state knew about.

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."

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.

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.

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."

It's unbelievable that some jurisdictions won't cooperate with ICE, especially in cases of illegal aliens charged with heinous crimes against children. In Massachusetts, ICE Boston recently arrested a Guatemalan illegal alien for multiple counts of child rape, but he was initially released due to sanctuary policies ignoring ICE's detainer request. Similarly, a Turkish illegal alien charged with assault against a disabled person was released by Somerville, another sanctuary city. Across the U.S., ICE Seattle arrested a Salvadoran illegal alien wanted for homicide, and in Los Angeles, a Guatemalan illegal alien was arrested for sexual assault. In Colorado, the DEA made several arrests of illegal immigrants involved in serious crimes, including kidnapping and fentanyl trafficking. It's shocking that someone charged with child rape could even be released on bail in Massachusetts.

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 discusses the immigration issue, noting improvements at the border, such as a decrease from 10,000 illegal entries to zero and improved morale among ICE and Border Patrol. Mexico is reportedly no longer cooperating with illegal immigration. However, the speaker claims that the prior administration systematically broke the law by allowing 10 to 12 million people to enter and reside illegally, and the courts did not object. Conversely, the current administration's efforts to enforce immigration laws are being blocked by the courts. The speaker argues that the courts consider it lawful to be unlawful under one administration but unlawful to be lawful under another. As an example, the speaker cites the case of Mr. Abrego Garcia, who has gang affiliations, was involved in human trafficking, and is in the country illegally, yet faces difficulties in deportation due to potential danger in El Salvador. The speaker questions who can be deported if someone like Mr. Garcia cannot.

I'm not going back to Haiti. ICE has arrested several illegal aliens, including a gang member from Haiti with 17 criminal convictions, and others from Brazil, El Salvador, the Dominican Republic, and Guatemala. Many were released by sanctuary jurisdictions, which did not honor detainer requests. ICE continues to operate in these areas, stating they will find and remove individuals regardless of local policies. Recently, they arrested a Honduran for rape and a Haitian who entered the U.S. through a controversial program and was later arrested for sexual assault. While sanctuary cities may not cooperate, ICE asserts they will still enforce the law and remove individuals deemed public safety threats.

I’m not going back to Haiti. ICE has arrested several illegal aliens, including a Haitian gang member with 17 convictions, a Brazilian with an INTERPOL red notice for armed robbery, and others charged with serious crimes. Many were released by sanctuary jurisdictions, which ignored ICE detainer requests. When ICE targeted one individual, they also arrested another illegal alien found with him. ICE plans to continue operations in sanctuary areas, emphasizing that they will find and deport those released back into the community. Recent arrests included a Honduran for rape and a Haitian arrested for sexual assault after entering the U.S. through a controversial program. Although sanctuary cities don’t have to cooperate with ICE, the agency will enforce the law regardless.

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 director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) revealed that over 13,000 illegal immigrants convicted of homicide have been released into the U.S. Additionally, there are 15,811 illegal immigrants with sexual assault convictions also roaming the country. The non-detained docket includes migrants caught and released at the border, as well as those ordered deported but still present in the U.S. Currently, there are about 425,000 noncitizens with criminal convictions on this docket, along with nearly 1,900 facing pending homicide charges and over 4,250 with pending sexual assault charges. The non-detained docket has significantly increased under the Biden administration, with projections suggesting it could reach 8 million by year-end.

The speaker claims the Biden administration, led by Secretary Mayorkas, intentionally flew illegal aliens into the U.S., escorted them across the border, and provided them with parole, work permits, Social Security numbers, and access to voting. The speaker alleges this was a deliberate scheme to enable illegal aliens to receive government benefits, become dependent on welfare, and participate in U.S. elections. The speaker asserts this is an attack on democracy by the Democrat party, similar to California's sanctuary state policy of refusing to hand over illegal alien criminals to ICE. They claim California is releasing criminal illegal aliens back into cities, allowing them to re-offend, which the speaker believes is a criminal violation of U.S. laws and one of the most heinous things they have witnessed.

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.

Tom Holman, former acting director of ICE, allegedly threatened to refer someone to the DOJ for using free speech to advise people of their constitutional rights. According to Speaker 2, some people are educating "the worst of the worst" on how to evade law enforcement. It is a crime to not comply with ICE removal orders or hinder one's removal ordered by a federal judge. Speaker 2 anticipates more judges in sanctuary cities making "bad decisions." Supporting sanctuary cities is acceptable, but impeding ICE is a felony that will lead to a request for DOJ prosecution. Democrats want different rules for illegal aliens, despite claiming no one is above the law. US citizen families are separated when a parent goes to jail, but there's resistance to separating illegal alien families. ICE sent three children with their mothers who requested it.

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 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 lawlessness in California, promising a mass deportation campaign despite left-wing riots. Sanctuary cities will allegedly no longer shield illegal criminals. Examples are given of illegal aliens arrested in Los Angeles, including individuals convicted of murder, child molestation, rape, and other violent crimes. One individual was arrested for allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement. The speaker warns left-wing radicals against imitating the violence to stop mass deportations, stating that such lawlessness will only strengthen the president's resolve to defend Americans from violent criminal illegal aliens. The speaker concludes that order will be maintained and illegal aliens will be expelled.

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.

It's unbelievable that some jurisdictions don't cooperate with ICE, especially in cases of illegal aliens charged with heinous crimes. In Massachusetts, this is routine. Recently, ICE Boston arrested a Guatemalan illegal alien charged with multiple counts of child rape, but he was on the streets because the Essex County Superior Court ignored ICE's detainer request due to sanctuary policies. ICE Boston also arrested a Turkish illegal alien charged with assault against an intellectually disabled person; a detainer on him was ignored by Somerville. Elsewhere, ICE Seattle arrested a Salvadoran illegal alien wanted for aggravated homicide. In Los Angeles, a Guatemalan illegal alien was arrested for sexual assault and rape with a gun. In Colorado, the DEA announced arrests of illegal immigrants involved in serious crimes, including kidnapping and fentanyl trafficking.

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.”

We're in Boston where an ICE team is targeting illegal aliens charged with egregious crimes, specifically aggravated felonies. Our team quickly apprehended a Guatemalan national charged with aggravated child rape, followed by a Colombian national for the rape of a child above 14. We don't have enough resources to get every public safety threat off the street, but we're focused on the worst cases. Next, we arrested an MS-13 gang member from El Salvador, and a Brazilian man charged with five counts of aggravated rape of a child. Sanctuary policies often prevent local authorities from notifying us when child rapists are released. Today, we arrested four accused child rapists and one MS-13 gang member, a typical day in Boston. These arrests happened because local authorities ignored our detainer requests due to sanctuary policies. These suspects will remain in federal custody until their local charges are resolved, then we will seek deportation.
