retired ice director fox news contributor tom homan joins us. they don't like what is happening, tom. >> they are smart people. sanctuary city policies, sanctuary to criminals. what does that mean? local law enforcement can't work with ice agents to deport somebody who is a public safety threat. for instance, illegal serious crime and jail, going to that jail and talk it them put a retainer to set them up for removal. think about that. the local jurisdiction has already made a decision lock the man in a jail cell. they lock the person in the jail cell, why? because either is he a public safety risk or flight risk. give ice access. not only remove this person from the community but remove them from the country so they can't reoffend against the community. >> lawrence: local law enforcement not allowing the ice to get because sanctuary somebody already in custody. >> releasing a criminal alien in the country illegally back into the community to reoffend. who are they going to reoffend against? the migrant community where they live. most will reoff

tom homan, thank you very much, indeed.oon, you got it. >>> house republicans demanding that secretary pete buttigieg address the migrants being housed inside airports. all right, ashley, what do they want him to do? ashley: well, stop housing migrants at airports, simply put. dozens of house republicans have written to to buttigieg to come up with alternative plans, but it should be pointed out even though the d. of homeland security is recommending airports as a viable option including hose in the new york area. those in the new york area. republicans say the country's airport infrastructure was actually built to facilitate commerce and transportation, not to service housing for unvetted and undocumented migrants. the lawmakers also a concerned, of course, about the security risks that are posed by these migrants. they also want to know to what extent the faa has been consulted about housing migrants at airports and exactly how the agency responded. by the way, one little footnote here, the house approved a measure late l

pete: you mentioned tom homan. here he is. >> this has happened before, the border is under such pressure to process as quickly as possible and re-lease as quickly as possible. no one cares about the optics of this crisis. what disturbs me more are the 1.7 known got aways. who are they? not a single one of those got aways didn't come from a country that sponsors terror. 171 countries. pete: it is good to see them arresting someone other than people who protest at school board meetings and abortion clinics. so january 6th -- this is a government willfully blind and let's hope we don't pay the price for it but you can't have a policy like this. rachel: there were 24,000 chinese coming over the border as well so there is so much going on. i was shocked to hear what tom homan said, that there were known terrorists on the southern border. what do we have a border patrol for if we don't let them do their job? rachel: will: it is election day, one of the things that is happening is in virginia. governor glenn youngkin won
