immigrant who says i have information i want to share with the police about something bad that happened near, but i don't want to come forward and say that because i'm worried i might get caught up in this and have done nothing wrong here. >> to new york city areas in suburban rochester county and new york city itself as well as the city police, they are the only ones right now follow sanctuary policies. one county that has not putnam county north of westchester county. at the republican county executive's kevin byrne and he is against sanctuary laws and points to shocking local murder recently is one reason why. october in the illegal immigrant from chile charged with shooting his girlfriends 15-year-old son to death despite previous reported run-ins with the law. the officials say that he was in the state illegally. telling fox news, ope "it is a horrific idea for sanctuary sta. i said many times sanctuary policy, sanctuary laws are

stupid and jeopardize our ability to take care of the communities and keep them safe." executive byrne said governor kathy hochul should veto the bill, but this other senator says a lower crime rate than those born here. and also said cop should not be in the business of immigration enforcement. sandra. >> sandra: a lot of feelings about all of that in the city right now. air, good to see you, john. >> john: let's bring in katie pavlich and we had tom homan on yesterday and he said he's willing to sit down with anybody republican or democrat's to work things out. listen to what he told us here. >> i will meet with anybody because this is about public safety and national security. let's meet and work together. we don't have to be immigration officers but the cops and be elected representatives for the community. love your community more than you hate trump. >> john: love your community a little more than you hate trump.

that is something democratic mayor should consider. >> sandra: he is listening to his constituents like chicago and new york where the politicis continue to hold onto ideology o promote immigration and caudal criminal illegal immigrants with long violent rap sheets and jurisdictions. he's listening to them and saying i'm willing to come in and make the community safer. it is much needed. the biden administration leading the countless meaning tens of thousands have criminal, illegal aliens with lengthy records either in their home countries or crimes they have committed since here. and then arrested for more heinous crimes and the more they get away with the behavior. so the federal government is now going to partner with local jurisdictions, many of whom have been asking and bagging the biden administration for help. it will be interesting to watch how police unions, local police unions and sheriff's partner with i.c.e. while the prosecutors and the politicians

continue to push against this deportation force trying to get these very violent, dangerous individuals out of the communities periods feeling you were reading my mind because san diego county board of supervisors makes it difficult for law enforcement to work with i.c.e. here to the sheriff san diego county martinez is having none of that. listen to what she said. i'm sorry, she said while protecting the rights of undocumented immigrants is crucial, it is equally important to ensure victims of crimes are not overlooked or neglected in the process. there is no loophole when it comes to what is placed in statute. she is fighting her own county government. you h have a eric adams who wans to work with tom homan. at the same time new new york se lawmakers who want to make new york state a sanctuary state by statute. everybody is working at odds with everybody and in the meantime, the problem pastors. >> the fight will be one to watch as well because local

law enforcement taking these ice detainers seriously and local police officer or sheriff's department arrest and illegal immigrant and they hold them and i.c.e. can come and get them. in the cases we are seeing play out over the last five years especially, local jurisdictions refused to hold the criminal aliens in the jail for i.c.e. to pick them up. they will be more funding from congress to be doing that more funding from the department of justice to encourage that kind of cooperation and less funding to continue magnet of paying debit cards and bailing out with many of the sanctuary jurisdictions using it to basically say, "come on in and we will give you free housing and free food and no basement and no consequences of going back to where you came from." >> john: the situation herndon, virginia, west of here where immigrant multiple multiple times and accused of trying to rape a woman on w o.d.

bike trail. governor clinton will withhold state funds from city or municipality that tries to get a break to these folks. listen to what he said. he if you did not cooperate with i.c.e. with a detainer in place i will take your funding away in the commonwealth of virginia. we are not a sanctuary state. we will no longer allow this to happen. >> john: it might be a high bar to jim because he has a democratic legislature, but it is a logical point to make. >> if you look at the last presidential election 30% said illegal immigration is the top issue and trump won by 70%. this is bipartisan, and sensation when talking about getting criminal, accused, convicted murderers and out of the community and people continuing to protect them whether prosecutors or in the case of herndon's fee for arrest that is a sanctuary county where they say they will not report or turn over people who have a long

rap sheet of violent crimes of the indecent exposure hoping to not take it to another level, which this man dead and they don't want to cooperate. >> john: the police chief is hot. just because she is very upset, exactly. so they will work with like glenn youngkin and the federal government to call democrats and others out who continue to double down on protecting violent criminals in these communities for victimizing innocent people who are going out for a walk or trying to get to their car or running on a trail as a college student in georgia, for example, without horrific murder of laken riley. they were consequences to allowing criminal illegal aliens and in attempting to get them out of the community should be applauded and through funding and other measures to put pressure on local jurisdictions to cooperate. >> john: we will see how much of a fight erupts january 20th. >> we might get more cooperation than you think. >> john: tom homan says he

will start in chicago. he will run headlong into brandon brandon johnson who he said he will either get along or throw entailed. >> we will see if they are prosecuted. >> john: we will see what happens, katie, thank you. more later in the program with martha as an interview with eric adams that we will preview for you. >> sandra: obviously, this will be a he sit down for martha on fox news channel to talk to the mayor how he's handling things and a huge concern for so many here. it will be nice to hear what he says 3:00 eastern time today. >> john: a step in a different direction when he realized the migrant crime crisis weighing heavily on citizens of the city. the place resources and social services as well. and gave a l came under a lot of criticism and he said go ahead, came to me i'm looking out for new yorkers. >> sandra: we will see what he has to say at 3:00 but we are also waiting the federal reserve

it is not foreign entities or a vessel offshore doing this and they are not collecting data. okay, them, what is it? >> the man who captured these possible drones middletown, new jersey, of the beacon tells fox news foreign involvement are concerning well members of the house intelligence committee address possible health concerns in the classified briefing. >> we are assured and we ask this question over and over and over again, they are not federal government operations. >> meanwhile, take a look at this, john. on the jersey shore, fox news flight team have exclusive infrared of the office drone. they went out looking for suspicious drones last night or two they did find peace, but not any drones. the mayor tells fox news he saw a little bit more action. >> last night, that cloud cover started breaking. so, i was able to notice roughly

four, different drones in the sky that template should not be there. >> so john, today marks one month since the first reported drone siding and tells fox news the longer this draws out the more conspiracy theories are spreading as federal authorities continue to say that people are seen in combination of drones, helicopters, planes, stars in last night from the fox news flight team go to a flock of geese. we will send it back to you. >> john: as long as it is not raining flaming frogs we are okay at the moment, nate, thank you, sandra. >> sandra: let's bring an new jersey state senator. i appreciate you being here. i feel like you and i had a meaty conversation. i will ask you for the audience, what do you know and what have you been told? >> unfortunately, we are hearing the same step everybody else. we don't get a straight answer in the biden administration response is the same to the

border, economy, americas global standing with its allies and enemies. flaccid, soft and weak when we need to be strong and firm that the federal government has sole authority over the skies and cannot produce a single unified answer. >> sandra: let me come in on that because pentagon talking to jennifer griffin at the pentagon said if law enforcement teams as a threat to the community how do they can take them down here to can respond. so what are you hearing from law enforcement and why are they hesitating? because that is part of the problem because there is no clearly leadership from the federal agencies. that is not trickling down to the state agencies either. i sat and led by department of homeland security and state place where the question posed to the state police about engaging her till officer of homeland security said you cannot do that and that authority does not trickle down to the state police pay or two i read the same things and hear

the same things but no communication state or federal out of all of these things. that is the big fix that needs to come. state agency or law enforcement needs to be powered to enact a federal government fails or refuses to do it. >> sandra: people will not rest if they see these massive drones. we keep talking about the cost of these and we told they are hobbyists but the sides of the drones we have seen. these are estimated to be between 10-$50,000 some of them. so when you sit down at night and think, what is going on? what you come up with? >> what i come up with is the federal government is failing and they failed us miserably. >> sandra: what you think is happening? >> i don't have a fair answer and i wish i did. mixed from every authority figure. just yesterday congressman mccaul, when he is hearing is it may very well be that chinese communist government and that they are involved in spying on the military installations. we have seen no less than 13

intrusions over military bases in new jersey with rest restricd air base. all of that suggests all more and more in the theorist and hobby drones. if they are, we are failing regulatory framework by not being able to stop it. >> sandra: so then people wonder, why are you not changing the law to be able to do this? i'm thinking about a farmer with a massive piece of machinery hovering over privately and, and they can't do a thing about it? i will ask about that that you are talking the lack of coordination at the federal level to the state and local level and what you are dealing with. here is alan chondro may work is on the drones on another network. listen. >> this is not a new phenomenon what we need in the federal government is we need our authorities to catch up with development of drone activity over the last ten years. we, for example need the ability

as president-elect has communicated the authority to take down drones when the situation so warrants. we believe our authority in that regard is quite limited. >> sandra: okay, that is an important piece of sound and why would the government be so dismissive, something so bothering the american public right now. but i want to play out with jennifer griffin or to another one at the pentagon with general pat ryder yesterday. >> why does it have to be classified briefing if hobby is drones or military drones? i would have to refer you to congress on that. again, sharing as much information as we can hear. i don't have the briefing in front of me so i can't tell you specifically classified or not. >> sandra: sounds like a good question, why are you having classified about obvious drones? >> that is part of the problem they say there is no threat that they can't tell you why and they

don't know what to be afraid of her not afraid of. there is no question the regulatory framework presenting emerging threats and act and the act that would allow the government to either deter or dismantle or try to destroy a drone dates back to 2018. it has never been updated. that is what a lot of people are referring to. >> sandra: will quickly before you go, you are in a position of power and can do something about these laws. this hasn't bothered father to so many in the state. >> specific example inconsistent with the congressman talking about trying a year ago and i propose legislation in new jersey to prevent chinese foreign government or hostile government to bind that critical farmland in new jersey and keep them away from critical military infrastructure and as of yet, i have not had a democrat to post it. the two what are you doing about it? >> trying to find ways to restrict air space went lend support to state law enforcement when they need it recognizing the federal government really

controls the skies. speak to senator steinhardt, we appreciate you being here and please come back when you have new information, appreciated, j. i'm trying to ask all the questions people at home. we are boggled and dismissive nature when you just heard mayorkas. why don't you hear from him like this is a pretty crazy thing that we don't know who is flying that drones. we don't know where they came from. and then maybe we would feel a little bit more comfortable if they are as concerned as we are periods bill and there is a simple way to answer the question and to do it you have to go back to his "star trek" episode 24 or 25 when captain kirk was looking for the answer to what something was and spock could not come up with the answer. if you can't tell me what it is let's use reverse logic and perhaps it will help if you tell me what it isn't. so maybe if the government told us what these drones aren't, that will narrow down what they are. >> sandra: they seem to be doing that and they told us not

flown by adversaries, right? they have set on the record twice now that i have heard in the pentagon briefings that they are not government-owned drones. so i guess that eliminates some things. >> john: so? are we talking more of the worlds? is tom cruise going to be on the docks running away from these things as they rise up and shoot their distraction beams had everything? i don't know. >> sandra: we will keep asking the questions. >> john: now this. >> when you say there will be hell to pay if stages are not released before january 20th, what does that mean? >> john: they have to determine what it means but it means they will not be present on that pleasant. >> john: eastern warning to the middle east and the foreign policy plans coming up next. >> sandra: incoming border czar tom homan and the trump administration with a new plan to attract migrants. will it stop the search of the illegal in the country?

into office five weeks into office. at the president an authority and president-elect donald trump has had not in our lifetimes for a number of reasons. he has been reelected and we have never seen that in life. since grover cleveland and the first time if he did and back again. secondly, the fact he has won republican vote in 20 years an outsider republican has one neck since ronald reagan 1991. that is a huge authority and thirdly, joe biden has left the stage early. basically leave donald trump whether talking to technical leaders or world leaders world leaders, essentially present before joe biden at the office. so i think it is extraordinary and i think it is a great opportunity board donald trump with a majority in both houses of congress and he has won the popular vote. and extraordinary authority and high expectations. there is a flip side to go to the expectations can be too high
