of enforcement in the first trump administration.

>> when they get a heads up we are coming, it's only a matter of time so we will address this seriously. we want to be transparent. right now is about operations security so we need this to stop. i'm not pointing the finger but the less people know the safer it is for our agents. >> why was chicago singled out against sanctuary cities? >> sanctuary cities, they want -- and -- and -- and -- and -- and you are free to come to the

police without fear. that is such crap because it's just ridiculous. when they are locked up and give them to us. would you rather have us operating in the jail, they want us in the jail. they don't want a predator in their neighborhood. we will take them to court. again, it's just -- it's just everybody, elected mayor, you would think they want their community safe two. work with us, let us in the jail to arrest this guy you locked in the jail cell.

you locked him in the jail cell, let us talk to him. when you're done with him give him to us. it's a legal issue, you don't have to hold them, just let us know when you release them and we will be there. >> sir -- sir -- sir, internal cuts, asking president trump to keep services, what do you say, sir? >> i don't have anything to say on that. i want local police to arrest and remove people.

and removing public safety threats from the. are you concerned about capacity? there's reports that some migrants are being released because ice beds are overcapacity. there are many ways to increase the bed capacity. that's what we're working on today. are some detainees being released? i was made aware of that this morning and i'll address that today, but i've been told that some were released because of some health concerns that we could not handle within ice detention. so i have a meeting with ice leadership today to find out exactly who was the reason why, but the president made it clear we're ending catch release. 6% were released according to the press secretary yesterday. does that go against the president's promise?

>> i'm going to find out again. i just got back in town today. >> do you think ice is doing enough? >> no, they're doing a great job. we're doing a great job. we've got to do more, and that's what we're looking at now. we're looking at ways to create more efficiencies to do more. that's why opsec is important. we go on these operations and operator got leaks somehow, it makes us less successful. again, when you leak an operation, it means more bad guys are not being arrested, which means more bad guys are walking the streets. >> ice hasn't posted arrest number in several days. is that because arrests are down?

>> no, i think the arrest numbers i looked at, i just talked about this morning. i think the arrests are right around over 11,000 so far since day one and the 11,000. but the most important thing if you look at the border numbers. i mean yesterday at 24 hours it was less than 50. border arrests. it wasn't too long ago we had 11,000 arrests a day under the biden administration. we will this administration under president trump will finally have operational control of our southern saying theories . we're going to follow the same legal process we follow here they'll be vetted down at gitmo down the united states. the same legal process, the same requirements to see a judge, the same requirements they make a claim. so it's just a matter of where they're located, but it's a place that we can build upon that we can send the worst of the worst to sit in gitmo, and it just it makes perfect sense to me what we're doing. >> for born visas for foreign born catholic priests who work legally in us parishes and catholic social services.

where does that stand right now? >> i don't i do not know how to get back. >> texas governor abbott has offered thousands of prison cells in texas to house detainees. do you plan to take them up on that offer and also the 1400 acres that they had offered for detention center. >> look, i've met with hundreds of sheriffs. we were looking at, you know, contracts with sheriffs for their beds which come at a reduced cost. the most expensive beds we have, the one the us government owns, so we're looking at the sheriffs across the country and governor made an offer yesterday so we'll be looking at that all cards on the table. we're looking for as many beds as we can get. we just got to hope congress gets the funding to buy as many beds we need and i know they're talking about that today, so hopefully we'll get a budget we can increase. >> guatemala and mexican national guard at the border. do you have any idea what their mission is going to look like the same as the first trump administration going to help to secure the border.

>> i mean, president trump has made it clear in mexico mexico has to help, you know. guarding their southern northern borders keeps mexico safe too, but the president been clear that border is going to be secured partnership with mexico is very important and having their people on the northern border along with you know what he sent to the southern border along the border. it means a more secure border. we know the death threats and the violent threats being made by the cartels will be diminished with the presence of our military, our border to mexican military. it only makes sense. it helps secure the border and helps protect our officers and agents. pardon the pentagon. chaser. go away.
