she celebrated with a post race pint of beer. i say she deserves it. bravo to you. most-watched, most restaurant, was grateful you spent the evening with us. good night from washington. i'm shannon bream. ♪ >> mark: good evening, and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." i'm mark steyn, in for tucker tonight. illegal immigration is turningng into a crisis across the country. and it is not because we lack laws, but because those laws are being ignored. according to new statistics from the department of homeland security, dozens of gang members, including gang members of ms-13 are prowling the streets because sanctuary policies let them go free. two-thirds of the released gang members were in california. apparently, that's the only problem with illegal immigrant criminals is that they don't
9:01 pm
have the right to vote yet. meanwhile, in massachusetts, an illegal immigrant working as an uber driver raped a passenger and has now fled back to ghana. and in washington, neil gorsuch just sided with the court's liberals to strike down a law ordering the deportation of immigrants who commit violent crimes. raul reyes is an attorney and immigration advocate, and he joins us. this rape victim, she has made emily murray. because she now basically has no redress from the courts. what is the deal with that? who is to blame? >> this is obviously a big mess all around. first question, why was uber even employing this undocumented person? >> mark: they employ a lot of illegal aliens. >> that in itself, i know
9:02 pm
that they are contracters. we know that when you get a job, when they set the bail for this case for this rape case, they only set it for $10,000. anyone in the legal field will tell you that is unbelievably low, especially for this. richard have been at least $100,000. >> mark: but it is large for massachusetts because only last year, a massachusetts judge gave a bail of $2500 to a dominican gang banger who assaulted a boston college student, and he then fled. it is becoming a pattern. >> they cannot say that they were totally unaware of these types of circumstances, especially with foreign nationals.na and then the question of detainers.
9:03 pm
there is some he said-he said about who set it and who did not follow up on it.of but this is the bottom line and of our problem. remember, by definition of the statute, it is a voluntary request. asking the police or whoever is involved to hold this person. in massachusetts, because it is the sanctuary jurisdiction, they did not do that. even if massachusetts were not a sanctuary jurisdiction, that's a problem because i.c.e. detainers are voluntary. if i.c.e. really wants to take someone off the street and they think they have reason to do so, they need to get a criminal warrant, which requires a finding of probable cause. >> mark: but in this case, in other words, you need probable cause for someone, for a warrant for someone who is not even in the country. let's not let these massachusetts authorities off the hook that easily. this detainer was sent to local police, who then sent it to the district court, and the district court basically declined it to pass it on to the countyou attorney.
9:04 pm
isn't this the culture in massachusetts of a sanctuary t state, where in effect, this guy, like the guy last year, we are getting to this illegal immigrant uber a drivers, who commit rape, not quite a separate category of crime, but they are getting there. just like the guy last year, they are treated differently, from say a massachusetts native, some guy who got off the boat at plymouth rock. >> it is not necessarily the culture in massachusetts. what it is, it is the state law. because the massachusetts supreme court, they ruled that statewide, no matter what local police or law enforcement officials believe or think, statewide, that these local jurisdictions cannot hold people while awaiting i.c.e. detainers because they were concerned about potential fourth amendment concerns. so even if there wasn't this back and forth. >> mark: how -- how does the
9:05 pm
fourth amendment apply to someone who shouldn't even be in in the country that has the fourth amendment? >> the way that the massachusetts court applied it,c they were looking at the detention as an arrest. and the arrest ends when the local jurisdiction releases them. and under this, their thinking, if you hold them again for another 48 hours, which is what detainers do, that constitutes a second arrest, and therefore, that's where you would have fourth amendment concerns. that is their reasoning. >> mark: so their reasoning is that the 7 billion people on the planet, and this guy, who is back in ghana, has a pal who would like to come to massachusetts and rape a woman, that pal in ghana knows that he is covered by the fourth amendment, even though he is in a country that doesn't have theh fourth amendment. >> i wouldn't say that, but ii think it is important to know this, what i think everyone should know, whether you are in favor of sanctuary cities or
9:06 pm
not, i.c.e. issues about 100,000 detainers a year. okay? of that number, in 2015, which is the year where we have these statistics, only 61% were not followed up on in any way. there was no call to the local jail. they didn't show up. nobody arrived to pick them up. only 15%, and that is 1-5, resulted in deportation. so if they were serious about this, if homeland security was taking it seriously, they would get the criminal warrant. the local jurisdictions -- there is no belief system, no court decision. it's the law. >> mark: well, thank you for explaining that it is in effect just meaningless a bureaucratic jumumbo-jumbo. >> that's right. >> mark: voluntary, great. if you think it's bad here, you said she
9:07 pm
should see what's going on in european countries that americans think of as super peaceful. a new story and politico says that grenades have become part of daily life in sweden. rape and sexual harrassment are surging. and last year, in stockholm, muslim extremist murdered five people by plowingi his stolen truck into the department store. katie hopkins is with rebel media. great to have you with us, katie.si sweden is in a hell of a state. basically, people's perception of sweden is about 40 years out of date now. >> that's so true. you know, people still imagine sweden as this idyllic place. lots of mountains. snow topped mountains. you know, everybody skipping down the streets with their pigtails. >> mark: abba.
9:08 pm
>> and i was there quite recently. it and i found it to be aen very different place indeed. there's about 62 no-go zones in sweden, where the police fear to go, where the ambulances can't respond to emergencies, and where fire engines have to be taken by police because the fire engines are attacked. so really, the gangs are establishing themselves. they are keeping the police out. and hand grenades, which you cae buy for as little as $30, being used as a kind of warning device to keep those people out. >> mark: now you mentioned those no-go zones. every time we mention these on fox, the government indignantly denied that they exist. so we should say that they are unofficial no-go zones. i went to one of them in rosengard, where there is sort
9:09 pm
of a lone police station it is like an armed fortress. you can dial, nobody is home, if you ever actually go to the police for anything, you can't get in the building. sweden has undergone a -- it was basically an ethnically homogenous society, in which swedes had predicted to become a minority in their own country by 2050. that is an extraordinary demographic transformation. >> you know, there is a population of about 10 million swedes.ti they are, irritatingly enough, swedish people are exceptionally good looking. and that really annoys me, but anyway, they took this very perfect population, and they brought in 170,000 migrants.ul and those migrants were from countries that we know about. we know the sort of things likee go on in those countries. and then we wonder why is it that sweden has turned into ae place where swedes themselves are desperate to leave. i hear stories all the time of swedes that want to get out of sweden because it is too violent. norway says it doesn't want to become sweden. and what really bugs me is the media will not be honest about it.
9:10 pm
they talk about these individuals, these migrants, they talk about them as the new swedes. well, guess what, you can't putm a blonde wig on mohomed and give him a name badge that says olaf and turn him into a swede. it doesn't work like that. >> mark: now, it is particularly hard on the women. i talked to a young lady. some girls who have beent. sexually assaulted at a pop concert. there is an incredible level ofa sexual assault going on in a country that we think of as of still being far more peaceful than the united states, or the u.k., or most other countries.ng >> yeah, and we should stop thinking that. it is naive. we have imported half of the middle east to sweden, and as a result, the men there particularly are behaving like men in the middle east. 43% of rapes that happen happen to children in that country. and they have the second-highest rape rates of anyone.to

and they will have elections, and in september, the liberals will be forced out, and actually, the conservative -- >> mark: we have to leave it there, katie. thanks for coming on. 11 republicans in the house of representatives have sent a letter to the justice department, calling for the criminal investigations of -- wait for it to -- james comey, hillary clinton, andrew i mccabe, and loretta lynch. fox's chief national correspondent ed henry has more on that. ed. >> mark, good to see you.. attorney general jeff sessions still does not appear to be moving quickly enough on alleged abuses by the fbi and justice department for the liking of top advisors to president trump. so they've been prodding republicans on capitol hill to jump in. congressman ron desantis and ten other house republicans have now taken the initiative to some is criminal referral to the fbi

director christopher wray, jeff sessions, to u.s. attorney john huber. he was tasked by the attorney general to reevaluate whether there needs to be criminal charges for actions like abusive fisa by obama official to spy on the trump ofmpaign. at the top of their lives for potential charges, as you mentioned, hillary clinton for using fusion gps to disguise payment from her presidential campaign for the antitrust dossier, a link not disclosed when top officials got that fisa warrant to spy on her stomach former trump advisor carter pag page. there is no merit to this claim and republicans must be acting up here because they are scared about the upcoming midterms. that is their view. also targets people like peter strzok and lisa page, the anti-trump text messages, seeming to reveal a bias. former fbi achieved james comey also a target for signing three fisa applications without disclosing the funding from the clinton camp for the dossier as well as the fact that he drafted
9:13 pm
an exoneration statement months before clinton's fbi interview. that appears to contradict testimony to congress. comey he said he only made the decision not to charge her after she was questioned by thebi fbi. his former number two, andrew mccabe, also cited for leaks to the media. the classified info from the release of the memos that comey put together. today he insisted that he did nothing wrong and is confident he will be exonerated. here's where it gets interesting. after comey told "the view" mccabe that he's a good person, mccabe fired back, comey is not being honest. so you've got the former men turning on each other, mccabe and comey. a lot more interesting soon. >> mark: thanks for that. i will believe it when i see it. it may be quicker for donald trump to create a new

>> mark: starbucks has been a proudly liberal corporation for years, but that hasn't bought them an ounce of mercy now that's the knives are out for them. the women's much later, tamika mallory, a pal of louis farrakhan. says a plan to shut down a thousand stores for sensitivity training. it simply is not enough. in fact, it is counterproductive because they are enlisting the antidefamation league to help. and she says that the jewish group "is constantly attacking black and brown people." so the boycott of starbucks must continue. robert patillo is an attorney and a political strategist for the rainbow push coalition. he joins us. robert, as far as i understand the accusations here, one group of racists, starbucks, have made the mistake of hiring another
9:27 pm
group of racists, the antidefamation league, and they are being attacked by a third farrakhan supporters at the women's march. all of these groups are liberals. it looks like the rainbow coalition is a little bit more precious than that in practice. >> i want to clear up one thing. i men private practice right now. but on this point, i think what miss mallory is pointing out is the fact that the ceo of the antidefamation league, jonathan goldblatt, is a former starbucks executive. a lot of the people involved in this, eric holder, his record is so deplorable on issues of police brutality. that the black lives matter movement started while eric holder was the attorney general. it is a matter of not just doing
9:28 pm
p.r., and an issue that has to affect real change. >> mark: so you are saying that eric holder, who was a black attorney general under a black president, and the head honcho of the adl, the antidefamation league, who held some phony baloney diversity job, advising president obama, that these guys are too insensitive to do sensitivity training for starbucks. >> it's not about sensitivity. it is about having policies that address issues of institutional bias and stereotypes. if you want to address the stereotypes and bias, have sabrina fulton, the mother of travon bryant and, who was killed because they thought that he was feeling just because he was wearing a hoodie. how about the mother of tamir rice? that is what bias does to individuals. you have to have a real event. >> mark: wait a minute.
9:29 pm
when you were doing the rainbow push, they have done these kinds of training sessions for corporations, for years, you needed people who can train them. in this case, starbucks, which is a famously liberal corporation, to the point where they are putting liberal messages on their coffee cups, an incident arose because they had two people in there who were in the store but didn't want to buy coffee, didn't want to buy one of their cardboard pastries, didn't want to buy one of their butterscotch pepperoni macchiatos or whatever the hell else they are selling, is the argument, because of who they are, the identity group that they belong to, they should have been allowed to remain in the store? >> no, the issue is that every other person knows that people are there who are not buying things at that exact moment. and the fact that we stereotype individuals, based on how they do not have the same rights as other people. that is across-the-board. that is not -- we cannot have situations where individuals are kicked out and targeted and then
9:30 pm
arrested because of their identity, versus being part of another ethnic group. that is a point that has to be pushed across. not some phony baloney idea that these people just didn't want to buy something. they were there, just like any other individual, and if they had bought something later, bought something sooner, those individuals were being pointed out. >> mark: wait a minute, starbucks is shutting down the very entire chain for the sensitivity training. the objective for the antidefamation league is that they are constantly opposed, as tamika mallory says, to black and brown people. is that actually true? >> the antidefamation league has come out against various african-american organization. the nation of islam -- >> mark: they are against louis farrakhan because he says things like instead of going on about this, the jews should ask themselves what they did to make
9:31 pm
hitler mad enough to be about opposed to them. that is what he was saying. and that is why the antidefamation league is opposed to louis farrakhan. but here is my point. these are liberal groups. why are they insufficiently liberal? because the right-wing groups generally don't want to do sensitivity training. it is a liberal thing. it is liberal training. if liberal groups can't even agree on their own sensitivity training, maybe there is no rainbow. maybe we should all just go back to hating each other openly. >> it is not about liberal groups and not about sensitivity training. it is about the point of implicit bias that can have deadly effects for people who are simply arrested for no reason. think about what would happen if there were not people there with cameras. they are arrested. they were charged with resisting arrest, they can no longer apply for certain licenses. you ruin someone's life based upon an implicit bias that you hold.

9:37 pm
it is a bewildering mystery to most of us. it is a treasure map with the directions of spirit. and that is not an accident. colleges consistently refused to it admit how they admit students. secrecy is the key to their power, and they guard it jealously.re but there are some facts available, thanks to whistle-blowers and college admission offices and a series of civil rights suit filed over the years, we do know something about admission standards. despite what you may have heard, higher education is not really a meritocracy. there are not a lot of slow kids at harvard, but that does not mean that all of the hardest working applicants get in. other factors come into play. the first and probably least publicized is legacy admissions. you are more likely to get into a prestigious school if your parents went there, much more likely, it turns out.
9:38 pm
a 2011 study of 30 elite universities found that the children of undergraduate alumni were on average 45% more likely to get in. an earlier study found that it was equivalent to an additional 160 points on the s.a.t. that is a major leg up. colleges understand that it helps with fund-raising. they don't like to talk about it, but it is true. the other fact that they don't like to talk about is affirmative action. the supreme courtrt banned the e of racial quotas and admissions some years ago. in real life, that decision meant nothing. skin color remains an essentiald consideration at every level of the process. the average admissions office is every bit as race conscious in as any institution in the jim crow south and far less transparent about it. the numbers tell the story. they show a huge discrepancy between achievement that colleges require of applicants of different racial groups. this is true at the undergraduate level and the graduate level. new data from the association of
9:39 pm
american medical colleges found that african-american students with low scores and average grades had a 56% of getting into med school. at the other end, asian students with the exact same scores and grades had a 6% chance of getting in., so facts like this have spurredd lawsuits from groups and individuals alleging discrimination. in every case, the data proving that there has beenin discrimination. defenders of the current system say that nobody is being discriminated against and that race has nothing to do with thesemi numbers. of course, no one actually believes that. consider this example. at cal tech, which has a rare race neutral admissions policy, the student body is 43% asian in 2013.cy at harvard, which has quotas against asians it once did against jews, even as the number of asian applicantser have risen. when skin color becomes a criterion for admission, some people lose. but who exactly wins?
9:40 pm
no one ever asks that. we know who is supposed to benefit. affirmative action was designed to level the playing field for americans whose ancestors had been discriminated against. d primarily, this meant black applicants. yet, 50 years after affirmative action began, the percentage of african-americans attending colleges appears to be dropping. even in schools boast about being diverse. how is that happening? simple. foreigners are taking theirr place.or under the rules of race conscious admission, the son of a nigerian tycoon meets the same standards as the son of a single mother from the south side of chicago. both are black. for the purposes of diversity goals, they are exactly the same, but in fact, they are not the same at all. one is poor, american, and descended from people brought to this country by force. you probably want to help those kids. the other is a rich foreigner. well connected, far more likely
9:41 pm
to have attended a private school. he doesn't need your help. yet, who has a better chance of leveraging diversity standards to get into harvard? you know the answer, the rich kid does. he gets an advantage he hasn't earned and doesn't deserve. and that is a win for him. harvard wins also for being inclusive. meanwhile, this kid from the south side of chicago does not go to college at all. this is happening at schools all over the country. the trend is accelerating as immigration accelerates. the 2007 study found that among black students in the top 28 american universities, it was double the representation in the broader population. at ivy league schools, students from immigrant families accounted for nearly 41% of black freshmen.om at harvard, a study three years earlier found that two-thirds of all black undergrads were from immigrant backgrounds. this is the opposite of what affirmative action was designed to do. yet over time, the definition of who is eligible has gotten even further than where it began.
9:42 pm
illegal aliens now qualify for lower admission standards. universally identifying as hispanic rather than white gives applicants the equivalent of 130 points on the s.a.t. so this is a huge advantage fori newly arrived immigrants over native born americans. it's puzzling if you think about it. why should the descendents of spanish conquistadors have an advantage over the descendants of irish indentured servents? how is it fair? of course, it isn't fair. that is why it is never explained or defended. americans lose in this arrangement. african-americans get shafted completely in favor of foreigners with no connection to this country. yet few complain about it because almost no one understands what is happening. and that is why the admissions process is secret, so that you
9:43 pm
won't challenge it. chairman of the u.s. commission on civil rights, she spoke with us about all of this just a minute ago. thank you very much for coming on. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: what is the purpose of affirmative action? >> the goal is to make sure that our colleges and universities have a chance to achieve the diversity that they say that they want for their schools. the long-standing precedentnt is that they can use affirmative action if there are no other means to achieve that diversity and to be able to satisfy this. >> tucker: so it is not an attempt to address past wrongs, it is simply for the sake of variety. s >> well, it started as an attempt to address past wrongs, that goal continues to exist. but schools have said that what they want to do is educate students to live in, working, be prepared for an increasingly global society and are to be able to be full participants in the world that they will enter. so achieving diversity is one way of making sure that students are able to be educated to that
9:44 pm
end.g >> tucker: so this has been done, you reduce to grades and test scores. it still remains true that the east asians, chinese, particularly, andnd koreans score 500 points higher than other groups with the same admissions rates. >> so here is the fly in your analysis. you are reducing into the test scores and grades. the schools, colleges and universities, have a first amendment academic interest in selecting whom they want to educate and how they want to educate them. >> tucker: i am just saying it is discrimination. if it happened to any other group would be totally outraged. >> what the court has said is that that is not how we analyze it. s that is not discrimination. you take a look at whether the schools analyzing -- >> tucker: i am aware of what the court says. i just don't think it makes a ton of sense. do you think -- part of theak
9:45 pm
purpose of affirmative action, i think what most people would identify with, is the idea that there are groups in america, particularly african-americans, who have been discriminated against, and this is a way of making good on that. or trying. how does it make you feel when you see the numbers that foreign-born black students displace african-american students, especially at prestigious schools at a really high rate?er and then they are saying that they are diverse when they are letting into the kid of the nigerian ambassador. doesn't that seem like a perversion of the purpose? >> i haven't seen those numbers, and that is not my experience from investigating this. in fact, what we are seeing now in particular is a hostility to having people come up to this country from other countries, we are seeing a drop off in international students. it is affecting the bottom line. >> tucker: the exact numbers, let's say, you know, i don't know, 19% of all black people in the united states were foreign-born, but the percentage
