i.c.e. raids, jake, it is all one political strategy to keep people divided to the maximum extent possible and get up his base and take people's eyes off the other things going on, the fact that so many middle class and working class people are not doing well in america, the fact he's about to pass a new nafta treaty which will continue to hurt americans. these are the kinds of things that trump does, he baits and switch all of the time. it is a bait-and-switch move and what it will do is get a lot of people angry because they realize that they're being lied to about their lives and it is a purposeful attempt to divide people. >> i want to talk about i.c.e. but first let's turn to the power outage in new york and there was a function with a transmission line that may have caused this and your constituents lost power for a few hours. does that suggest your electrical grid is incredibly vulnerable? >> well, jake, we haven't had manyin tans like this in recent years and that is a very good thin

in addition, if i.c.e.nts find other undocumented immigrants along with those they are seeking, they, too, will be included as deportees, so clearly the net is considerably wider in the current effort. >> so in the past couple days, we've been talking about the fear among the immigrant communities in the bay area. how easy will it be for i.c.e. agents to find the immigrants that they're going after? >> yes, that's a hard question to answer. look, officially ten u.s. citizens have been -- cities rather have been designated for searches. of course they're leaving out new orleans today. you can see by the designated cities on the screen that of those ten cities, eight, eight are declared sanctuary cities, which means that for the most part, local authorities will only assist if the sought-after individual has committed a serious crime. now, that in itself may complicate federal efforts. by the way, only atlanta and houston are not sanctuary cities. >> it would be interesting how the sanctuary classification pl

over and over again they say they want to abolish i.c.e., defund i.c.e., get rid of i.c.e. what's really being stated there there's no place to do detention when that occurs. let me give you an example. in 2018 the request for i.c.e. was $3.6 billion. actually what we could get at the end of it was just over $3 billion. there were $600 million down from what they said they needed n. 2019 the request was $3.5 billion. what they got was $3.1 billion. again much less than what they needed. when the crisis began to hit in its highest portion and we finally got a humanitarian relief package to these individuals on the border to try to get additional support, including building the soft-sided facility, my democratic colleagues held out and refused to do any funding for i.c.e. in the humanitarian package, there was zero funding for i.c.e. detention, none. when border patrol said that is the prime thing that we need to actually solve this problem, what we need more than anything else is allow these folks to move out of these temporary facilities into long-term facilities so we can

the individuals that i.c.e.s after, and they do this every single day, are not individuals that are here undocumented. they're individuals that are here illegally. in this case, their priority always has been, and it will be, to go after those who are here criminally. and they committed additional crimes against american citizens. part of that priority is to also go after and apply consequenses and enforce the rule of law to those individuals who had due process and received a final order of removal from a judge and they still remain here illegally. to maintain integrity in the system, we have to apply consequences to everyone. >> brennan: can you say whether there will be family separations? if someone is arrested, their children come home, either they're u.s.-born or they're coming home to find a parent now in detention, what happens? can you avoid that situation? >> of course, the design is not about family separation. that is not the intent. it never has been, and never will be. the intent -- >> brennan: can
