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.

What's your name? Where are you from? I was born in Thailand. Have you ever been deported from the U.S.? No, I've never been deported. What have you been charged with? I'm not a citizen; my mother is. I've seen Dr. Phil on TV. This is an example of sanctuary cities, where illegal immigrants, like those involved in sex crimes against children, are walking the streets instead of being detained by federal agents. You've been charged with sex crimes? Not really. So, you've never been deported? Nope. We need to process and lock them up.

Hey everyone, Savannah Hernandez here in Boston, one of four cities defying federal immigration law. Massachusetts just allocated $425 million in pandemic funds to house migrants through June 2025. I sent someone posing as an immigrant to City Hall to see what's offered. Many sanctuary cities temporarily house migrants in hotels before permanent placement. Boston's mayor, along with Chicago, Denver, and New York City's mayors, will address a House oversight committee next month on their sanctuary policies. They claim compassion and public safety can coexist, but a recent incident involving an illegal immigrant arrested with 5,000 grams of fentanyl and an AR-15 in a Boston hotel contradicts that claim. Other arrests of illegal immigrants in Boston involved gang activity, child rape, murder, and drug distribution. This highlights the ongoing conflict between sanctuary cities and the federal government, with threats of prosecution and funding cuts.

Hey everyone, Savannah Hernandez here in Boston, one of four cities defying federal immigration law. Massachusetts recently allocated $425 million in pandemic funds for migrant housing through June 2025. I sent someone posing as an immigrant to City Hall to learn what's offered. Many sanctuary cities house migrants in hotels before permanent placement. Next month, Boston, Chicago, Denver, and New York City mayors will address a House oversight committee about their sanctuary policies. They claim compassion doesn't compromise safety, but a recent arrest of an illegal immigrant with 5,000 grams of fentanyl and an AR-15 in a Boston hotel contradicts that. Numerous arrests of illegal immigrants in Boston involved gang activity, child rape, murder, and drug distribution. This highlights the ongoing conflict between sanctuary cities and the federal government, with threats of prosecution and funding cuts.

I'm not going back to Haiti. ICE has arrested several illegal aliens, including a gang member from Haiti with multiple convictions, and others from Brazil, El Salvador, the Dominican Republic, and Guatemala. Many were released by sanctuary jurisdictions despite ICE detainer requests. ICE emphasizes that they will continue to operate in these areas to ensure public safety. Recently, they arrested a Honduran illegal alien for rape and a Haitian man who entered the U.S. under a controversial program and was later arrested for sexual assault. Although Boston is a sanctuary city, ICE asserts they will enforce immigration laws regardless of local policies. They stress that cooperation from local jurisdictions would make their job safer and more efficient.

Revi, a Venezuelan migrant detained during recent immigration raids in Chicago, is about to be released from federal jail to return to his girlfriend and her family. Maria, his partner, recounted the traumatic experience of agents storming their home, pointing guns at them. Edward Martinez Sarmino, who crossed the border illegally in 2023, faced a misdemeanor charge. Despite a prior felony retail theft arrest in January 2024, he has not been convicted. A judge ordered his release, stating ICE lacked a proper judicial warrant. Concerns were raised about the focus on quotas in immigration enforcement, which may detract from public safety. Martinez Sarmino's retail theft case remains open, with a pending plea.

Good morning. In Boston, ICE officers are targeting violent offenders. They quickly apprehend an MS-13 gang member wanted for murder in El Salvador, along with other illegal aliens from Haiti, Brazil, and the Dominican Republic, all with serious criminal backgrounds. Many were released due to sanctuary policies. Officers emphasize that they will continue to operate in sanctuary jurisdictions to ensure public safety. Shortly after filming, they arrested two more individuals, including a previously deported Honduran for rape and a Haitian man arrested for sexual assault. Despite sanctuary city policies, ICE asserts they will continue their enforcement efforts, gathering intelligence to locate and detain individuals who pose threats to the community.

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.

Fermisha Rose learned this week that the suspect was not a U.S. citizen and now believes justice means deportation. She says her daughter, who was 13 when she met 29-year-old Jordan Castillo Chavez, was communicating with him online; Rose found out by checking her daughter’s phone. She recalls seeing a message from Castillo Chavez and photos and messages that indicated he was coming to pick up her daughter, and she immediately dropped and fainted, thinking, “This is not happening right now.” In March, Pineville police charged Castillo Chavez with indecent liberties and other sex-related charges. He has since bonded out. This week, Customs and Border Protection named Castillo Chavez of Costa Rica as “one of the worst of the worst criminal legal aliens,” blaming his release on a failed ICE detainer. When asked for a response, the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office said ICE had requested advance notification of his release but did not issue an ICE detainer. The sheriff’s office also said they did not notify ICE when Castillo Chavez bonded out because they weren’t legally required to. Rose says her own father committed a crime in the United States and was deported back to his country years ago, so she understands the impact and believes Castillo Chavez deserves deportation as well. “We need justice. He needs to go, and he needs to enforce it,” she says.

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 gang member from Haiti with 17 convictions, a Brazilian with an INTERPOL red notice, and others charged with serious crimes. Many were released due to sanctuary policies. When targeting one individual, ICE also apprehended another illegal alien present with him. ICE plans to continue operations in sanctuary jurisdictions despite local policies. They aim to expedite deportations, especially for those from cooperative countries. While Boston is a sanctuary city, ICE can still enforce the law. Local jurisdictions may complicate their work, but ICE remains committed to removing individuals who pose public safety threats.

71% of people are not from Mexico. There is allegedly no actual vetting process happening for migrants. Massachusetts does not consult with federal immigration authorities before placing migrants in shelters, and ICE Boston suggests potential public safety risks in state-provided housing. People entering the country may not be good, and there are allegedly no security or background checks. From February 2024 to June 14, 2024, ERO Boston made 69 arrests of illegal aliens, including nine for sex crimes, 28 for sex crimes against children, seven for robbery/theft, 12 for homicide, five for assault, six for drugs, and two for other crimes. Crimes have been committed by people in the country illegally due to reversed Trump policies and open border policies. A senator was asked if they have any regrets or remorse for their complicity in these crimes and if they ever call up the families of crime victims. The senator stated that all hearts break for the victims of these heinous crimes and their loved ones and that the criminals are responsible for their criminal conduct. The senator was asked if they admit their culpability and that their actions have resulted in deaths, murders, and assaults. Elections have consequences.

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.

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 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.

According to a letter from the acting ICE director to Congressman Tony Gonzalez, ICE is tracking non-detained migrants, including those released with court dates and those ordered deported. ICE's non-detained docket includes 425,000 non-citizens convicted of a crime. Over 13,000 have homicide convictions, and 15,811 have sexual assault convictions. Additionally, almost 1,900 on the docket have pending homicide charges, and 4,250 have pending sexual assault charges. The non-detained docket has grown under the Biden administration and may reach 8,000,000. The speaker notes that these numbers do not include the nearly 2,000,000 "gotaways" who were never encountered by DHS. The speaker cites a recent ICE operation in Nantucket where several illegal aliens were arrested for sexual assault. The speaker emphasizes that this is the first time specific numbers have been released regarding convicted criminals who have crossed the border and are not in ICE custody.

Revi, a Venezuelan migrant, is about to be released from federal jail after immigration agents raided his home in Schaumburg. His girlfriend, Maria, described the traumatic experience, stating agents pointed guns at them and took her daughter's boyfriend, Edward Martinez Sarmino, who had crossed the border illegally in 2023. Although he has a pending felony retail theft charge from January 2024, the judge ordered his release, citing that ICE lacked a proper judicial warrant for his detention. Former ICE chief of staff Jason Houser expressed concerns about the focus on quotas in immigration enforcement, suggesting it detracts from public safety. Martinez Sarmino will still face his local theft case and has an asylum hearing scheduled for April 2026.

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.

According to a letter from the acting ICE director to Congressman Tony Gonzalez, ICE is tracking noncitizens on a "nondetained docket." This docket includes migrants encountered by DHS but not in federal custody, including those released with court dates and those ordered deported. ICE is tracking 425,000 noncitizens on the nondetained docket who have been convicted of a crime. Over 13,000 have homicide convictions, and 15,811 have sexual assault convictions. Additionally, almost 1,900 on the docket have pending homicide charges, and 4,250 have pending sexual assault charges. The nondetained docket has grown to over 7,300,000 under the current administration. The speaker notes these numbers do not include almost 2,000,000 "gotaways" who were never encountered by DHS. The speaker cites a recent ICE operation in Nantucket where multiple noncitizens were arrested for sexual assault.

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.

Tom Homan and the host discuss ICE detention capacity and trafficking concerns, along with political rhetoric and safety in sanctuary cities. - Kevin Cork highlights the administration’s efforts to curtail trafficking across the border, noting it as a major issue for young women and children who are trafficked. He references reporting that there are around 66,000 ICE detainees, a 70% increase since the president took office, and mentions ICE considering large warehouses to hold more detainees. He asks for insight into whether capacity is a real issue and how it’s being managed. - Tom Homan updates ICE detention figures at the time of the conversation, stating about 65,000 detainees, and says a surge to 100,000 beds is coming soon. He explains that the plan is to have 100,000 beds because an average bed turns over 10 times a year, with an average stay of 30 to 35 days. Therefore, 100,000 beds could effectively handle about a million bed-overnights annually. He emphasizes the need for a bed for every person arrested to coordinate travel documents and removal itineraries, and asserts the administration’s goal of bringing 100,000 beds online along with 10,000 new agents. He notes there have been historic deportation numbers under President Trump and suggests those numbers will compare to the next year. - Nicole Sapphire transitions to the New York City mayoral race and cites mayor-elect Zoran Mandani’s threats toward ICE. The discussion returns to safety for ICE personnel, with Sapphire asking what is being done to protect agents and whether current laws deter violence or if Congress must do more. - Tom Homan responds by pointing to the actions of Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice, highlighting prosecutions under 18 U.S.C. 111 (impeding and injuring federal law enforcement officers) as at historic levels and continuing. He criticizes sanctuary cities like Chicago and New York for releasing perceived public safety threats back into communities, and asserts that the administration will flood sanctuary zones with more agents, planning to hire 10,000 more officers to operate in those cities. He says they will arrest thousands of people in Chicago weekly, with operations tonight and tomorrow, and asserts a commitment to make New York safer with or without cooperation from local leadership. He references the President’s promise to make neighborhoods safer by removing criminal aliens, including in Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York, and urges people to thank President Trump for making neighborhoods safer. - The program closes with gratitude to Tom Homan and acknowledgment of his ongoing work.

I'm not returning to Haiti. One threat is an illegal alien from Haiti, identified by ICE as a gang member with 17 recent criminal convictions. Meanwhile, ICE is also targeting other illegal aliens, including one from Brazil with an INTERPOL notice for armed robbery, a Salvadoran charged with rape, and a Dominican charged with assault and heroin trafficking. Additionally, a Guatemalan MS-13 gang member facing gun charges was arrested after being released from local custody due to sanctuary policies. ICE also arrested another individual in the same apartment as a target, marking this as collateral enforcement.

ICE was on the scene arresting an El Salvadorian national and convicted sex offender. According to an ICE acting director, the administration wants ICE to lead the country with high-profile arrests of criminal illegal immigrants. ICE is targeting the "worst of the worst" in Massachusetts, including those released by sanctuary jurisdictions or wanted for immigration violations. Sanctuary jurisdictions don't give ICE enough time to respond before releasing individuals, who then harm the migrant community. Under the Trump administration, ICE feels supported by leadership and has seen a surge in a "whole government approach," partnering with agencies like the FBI and DEA. In the first 100 days, ICE made more arrests than in the previous year, focusing on serious cases and previously deported individuals. The acting director stated that officers and agents feel they have the support of leadership, resources, and the backing of the American public, which has increased morale. During the multi-hour day with ICE, two arrests were made: a convicted pedophile and someone who committed a hit and run. Two additional illegal aliens were also arrested.

Fermisha Rose learned this week that the suspect is not a U.S. citizen, and she now believes justice means deportation. Her daughter's case is central: Rose says her daughter, who was 13 at the time, met a man who was 29, Jordan Castillo Chavez. Rose discovered details by looking through her daughter's phone and seeing messages and photos indicating someone was coming to pick up her daughter. She recalls, “There were photos. There were messages that indicated he was coming to pick her up, and I immediately just dropped. I fainted. This is not happening right now.” In March, Pineville police charged Castillo Chavez with indecent liberties and other sex-related charges. He has since bonded out. This week, Customs and Border Protection named Castillo Chavez of Costa Rica as one of the worst of the worst criminal legal aliens, blaming his release on a failed ICE detainer. Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office was asked to respond. They said ICE had requested advance notification of Castillo Chavez’s release but did not issue an ICE detainer. The sheriff’s office explained they did not notify ICE when he bonded out because they weren’t legally required to do so. Rose also reflects on her own family history, noting that her father committed a crime in the United States and was deported years ago. She says she understands the impact and believes the same outcome should apply to Castillo Chavez. The discussion includes Rose’s deteriorating sense of safety and justice: “This is serious.” and “We need justice. He needs to go, and he needs to enforce it.”

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.
