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.

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has announced plans to phase out centralized housing for migrants, like hotels, and instead allocate a budget of $21,100 per month for housing them in scattered apartments across the state. This decision follows Donald Trump's presidential victory and his plans for mass deportations, which Healey and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu have publicly opposed, pledging not to cooperate with such actions. The timing has led some to speculate that Healey aims to complicate Trump's deportation efforts in Massachusetts. The state has been in a state of emergency regarding this migrant crisis for over a year, with no resolution in sight.

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 San Diego local captured a video of a boat full of suspected illegal immigrants beaching itself on a California shore. The individuals quickly fled into a residential area, and it is uncertain if they were apprehended. Meanwhile, in New York City, the NYPD is searching for four more illegal immigrants involved in a violent attack on two officers in Times Square. Five individuals have already been arrested, but four were released without bail. The lack of consequences for such crimes is a concern. Additionally, the governor of Massachusetts has converted a state-owned rec center in a predominantly black neighborhood into a temporary migrant shelter, causing a loss of resources for the local community. Texas Governor Greg Abbott continues to send migrants to sanctuary cities across the country.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hotels in Massachusetts have canceled bookings for veterans and their families attending the Army Navy football game. The rooms have been given to migrants instead. A senator wrote a letter to the Biden administration demanding action on the border policies that allowed these migrants into the country. Massachusetts has a law providing shelter for refugees and illegal migrants, which is why the hotel reservations were canceled. Instead of watching the game in hotel rooms, veterans and active duty personnel are now housing illegal migrants.

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."

Migrants in Brunswick, Maine, are housed in furnished apartments with utilities paid for up to two years. These units, originally intended for Maine residents, are free for migrants while a one-bedroom apartment for residents costs around $1800 and a two-bedroom costs approximately $2300. The average house price in Brunswick is $480,000. This situation has caused outrage given the ongoing housing crisis for American citizens. Brunswick is in the same county that received nearly $1 billion in FEMA funding for sheltering illegal immigrants in 2023-2024, funds now reportedly depleted. We've also spoken with those in Bangor and Lewiston, and Catholic Charities expects to house up to 150 more refugees by September 30th. This highlights the impact of the open border crisis, extending even to unexpected areas of the U.S.

We received a statement from DHS about the $59,000,000 sent from FEMA to NYC for migrants. Four employees are being fired for making the payment without authorization. This misappropriation of funds is long overdue; billions of taxpayer dollars have been wasted on housing, food, and healthcare for illegal immigrants. New York City’s sanctuary city status incentivizes this, and it must stop. Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul have been criticized for their handling of the migrant crisis. The Biden administration’s policies are contributing to the problem, and stopping the influx at the border is crucial. Additionally, New York’s top court is considering allowing non-citizen voting, which would add 800,000 voters. This is unacceptable and should not be allowed.

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 in the Bronx, where 2,200 migrant men will soon be housed in this building. Bronx residents are angry because they weren't consulted. This highlights how sanctuary cities, despite the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration, continue spending millions on migrant housing. For example, a women- and minority-owned business received a $340,000 contract, and Garner Environmental Services got a $450 million contract to manage shelters citywide. Residents are protesting the lack of input on this relocation to this building, which was originally marketed as luxury housing with a rooftop terrace. This is just temporary housing; permanent housing will likely follow, a pattern seen in other sanctuary cities and states. I'm here to bring attention to the Bronx residents' concerns about this situation.

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.

We've just received a statement from DHS: four employees are being fired for circumventing leadership and unilaterally making a $59 million FEMA payment for migrant hotels in New York City. This is long overdue. New York City has been wasting billions on free housing, clothing, food, education, and healthcare for illegal immigrants, including criminal aliens. I applaud DHS for stopping these payments. We've incentivized sanctuary cities like New York to allow this to continue, and it has to stop. Eric Adams even spoke out against the Biden administration, saying the migrant crisis was destroying New York City. Now New York's top court is considering noncitizen voting in NYC elections, potentially adding 800,000 noncitizen voters. This shouldn't even be a discussion, but I'm concerned because the NY Court of Appeals has been corrupted by Kathy Hochul and NY Democrats.

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.

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.”

We've just received a statement from DHS: four employees are being fired for circumventing leadership and unilaterally making a $59 million FEMA payment for migrant hotels in New York City. This is long overdue. New York City has been wasting billions on free services for illegal immigrants, including criminals. I applaud DHS for stopping these payments. Under the Trump administration, we incentivized sanctuary cities like New York, and it has to stop. Eric Adams spoke out against the Biden administration, saying the migrant crisis was destroying New York City. New York is circumventing federal law, allowing illegal immigrants to get benefits and access taxpayer money. In other news, New York's top court is considering noncitizen voting in NYC elections, which could add 800,000 noncitizen voters. It shouldn't even be a discussion. New York Republicans fought this before, and now the court of appeals, corrupted by Democrats, will hear 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.
