, this gang is very vulnerable to the events of removal.'re safely arrested and put on a path to deportation, we will decimate their numbers very quickly in the united states because they have no status here. and, oh, by the way, to do we need another transnational criminal organization in the united states? we've got plenty of ms-13, plenty of mafia and other gangs in the u.s., and so -- david: we've already got them here. frankly, it's too -- a lot of people would think it's too late. they have dug in so so deeply in communities all over the united states. you mentioned, by the way, the colorado apartment takeover. we showed some video of that. some of those people that were involved in that were apparently arrested in a major new york city drug and gun bust. so it just shows you how well spread out this group is and how they work between cities now. that's howdying dug in they are. -- how dug in they are. >> yeah. and if this is very important. i want our viewers to remember that this gang has not had a recorded arrest at the border befo

they're now confirming they're actually gang members of this violent gang. >> reporter: yeah, there'sot new in this case. i'd argue this might be a little bit of a water she had operation. i think this is a preview of what's to come. this is emblematic of what we've been talking about. which wills you need a task force approach at the national level to be able to undermine the activities of this group. they're pretty well organized and transient. you have nypd knowledge of the treats but then you have federal charges. and as a result, you're not dealing with the sanctuary city nonsense you get from the da's. these are real charges. this is how you start to build that intel base that you need he to undermine a transnational gang like this nationwide. >> for many americans, maybe not you, palm, but for, you know, ordinary civilians like myself, the first we heard of this gang was back in august with the release of this video. at the time this taking place in aurora, colorado, as you mentioned. but now take a look at this. the new york post also got hold of an internal homeland security

on that uac, you don't bother to ask, by the way, is this an ms-13 gang member? does this individual have a criminal history? and then you place them in foster homes, you release them into our communities, and there are some cases, tragic cases where they go on to murder innocent americans like kayla hamilton. mr. tiffany asked you, is there anything you'd do differently looking back on these past four years? is there anything you'd do differently in the kayla hamilton case? >> mr. chairman, we work closely with the department of homeland security which does the vetting for these children when they first enter into the country. >> you're placing them. you're the ones that are placing them in people's homes and you're the one who is telling me, don't worry about it, they're all carefully vetted. they're all secure. don't worry that we can't reach them by phone after we've placed them in these homes. it might be they just weren't paying attention to the phone. do you understand how this-- do you understand how this affects the lives of a population that you've plac
