and sheriff's and local leaders from across the state of California great
state each of you has bravely resisted California's deadly and unconstitutional
sanctuary state laws you've gone through a lot too although it's becoming quite
popular what you're doing the law that forces the release of illegal immigrant
criminals drug dealers gang members and violent predators into your communities
California's law provides safe harbor to some of the most vicious and violent
offenders on earth like ms-13 gang members putting innocent men women and
children at the mercy of these sadistic criminals but we're moving them out of
this country by the thousands ms-13 we're grabbing them by the thousands and
we're getting him out Kevin we're also joined by attorney general Jeff Sessions
Jeff thank you the Secretary of Homeland Security Kirsten Nielson secretary thank
you very much you know you folks are keeping busy right keeping busy at those
borders and deputy ice director Tom Holman who's going to be leaving us soon
for a life of retirement but there's no such thing as retirement
I know you'll always be in also with us as House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy
who has been a special friend of mine he represents California's 23rd
congressional district and he is very very popular and I just recently saw a
poll of Kevin I think the opposition might as well just go home because Kevin
they loved him out there and he's done an incredible job he's brought it home
and we appreciate it Kevin the great job you've done for the country thank you
very much unfortunately Congress and I have to say
congressional Democrats you take a look at what has been going on and what's
going on with the laws whether it's catch and release whether it's any of
any of the things that we're fighting for and so hard now we have started the
wall with spending 1.6 billion between fixing and starting you know Melissa
what's been going on we're getting it up we have a lot of folks in California
they don't talk about it but they want the wall up and they're very happy
that's one of the reasons we started in California but we made a lot of progress
on it and now we're going for the full funding for the wall and we're going to
try and get that as soon as possible but it's become a very popular issue in
January the Los Angeles Police Department arrested an illegal immigrant
from Mexico for drug possession instead of honoring the ice detainer they set
him free just a few weeks later he was arrested again this time for murder so
they arrested him they had him they let him go Tom you've seen this they let him
go and he killed somebody and it's happening more and more and we get him
out as fast as we can we have the worst laws anywhere in the world for illegal
immigration there's no place in the world that has laws like we do catch and
release think of it we catch somebody we find out they're criminals we end up
having to release them and they go into our society now we do the best
we can I'll tell you we do better than anybody and our numbers are much better
than in the past but they're not nearly acceptable and not nearly as good as
what we could have we're down 40 percent from those other standards so that's
really good meaning 40 percent crossings so that's good but we can do we can do
much better part of the problem that we have is our economy is so strong that
people are pouring up to get into our economy they want a piece of our economy
and that makes the job even tougher but we want to keep we want people based on
merit we want people to come into our country based on merit we're not looking
to keep them out we're looking to bring them in we need them we have companies
moving back into the United States like never before
Chrysler's opening up now in Michigan we have so many companies actually coming
from Mexico even and coming back in so we want people coming in based on merit
we all remember the tragic case of Maryland ferris in California who was
murdered by an illegal immigrant who had been arrested six times prior to
breaking into Maryland's home raping her and savagely beating her to death with a
hammer and this is one example but there are many examples I've been saying it
for a long time we cannot let this butchery happen in America the State of
California's attempts to nullify federal law have sparked a rebellion by
patriotic citizens who want their families protected and their borders
secured they want border security they want protection that's what we're all
about we're about protection both from international and from frankly people
crossing a border illegally I will now go around the room and ask these
incredible mayors and officials to discuss their brave stand on behalf of
their constituents they are very popular they are very well respected these are
the top people and there are people that other people
listen to and they listen to him from around the country so I'll begin by
asking California Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez said you have been an
inspiration to a lot of people in law so maybe you could say a few words and
we'll go right around the room okay Thank You mr. president like you I just
want to start off by saying on behalf of everyone here thank you for inviting us
there are more people in California I think than you know who supports what
you're doing who believe in your agenda and securing our borders everywhere in
between from San Francisco to Los Angeles you have millions of people who
want to see that our borders are secure and then our neighborhoods are safe so
we want to thank you for what you're doing I have been in office in
California for five years now and it's interesting to me that you've
been office for a year 17 17 months so 17 years would be nice
but you have invited us here to talk about this issue I've been in office in
California for five years not once as Governor Brown invited any Republican to
discuss this issue in California it is a crisis that's the point we're at in
California it's a crisis so for for me and my constituents and those are
Democrats and Republicans and independents alike because I get emails
from all of them they don't want to see another heat styling that's what I hear
every single week they don't want to see another Kate Steinle
so when my husband and I talk about this issue we have 37 years of service
between the two of us we both served in the Navy that's where we met
we know a lot about what it takes to protect our way of life what it means to
protect other people but we want to make sure that that our
citizens are protected and I think the resistance that started in the Democrat
Party this is your Republican resistance right here that's what they're doing in
Cal and Riyadh Republican I mean this has really become a Democrat issue a
Republican issue I think a lot of the Democrat politicians don't understand
what's going on because it's actually good politically people want safety
thank you very much I appreciate it Sam Thank You mr. president I am a proud
immigrant here from Lebanon thirty years ago I came here to live the American
dream and we did well Jerry Brown wants to take this American dream from us I
see myself he's gonna run for president I said please run but now I think he's
gonna be retired from what I understand pretty soon I see myself fighting for
this values that made our country great mr. president we are aligned with your
goals here's the success story of his cândido when I was elected mayor in 2010
I made the agreement with us we brought a pie station to his kanuda or police
station since then we deported over 2,700 illegal criminal criminals from
our city and made Escondido as safe as it was in 1980 this is a great success
story and our cooperation with ice and the San Diego advise is a very
compelling model for the nation to follow in our city more immigrant people
report crime and this narrative that sanctuary city will allow more immigrant
to report crime is fake news mr. president sir
we are we are going California is going down the drain it's gonna be sorry you
know congressman McCarthy but California is is is the least business friendly is
the poorest city in the nation the highest poverty rate the highest taxes
you name it instead of fixing the Golden State and making it the American dream
for everyone they are dealing with illegal criminals when Jerry Brown cares
more about illegal criminals that he cares about the Hispanic community and
the American citizens this is insanity and this is unconstitutional when I
sworn to be a citizen and again as mayor I just want to defend the Constitution
and to keep my community safe this is personal to me I'm gonna work hard to
make sure our communities safe Escondido is a great example of our success as a
result of making Escondido safe we brought two billion dollars in
investment to our city and we outperform San Diego County in economic growth I am
passionate about it when I go back to California I'm gonna start a PAC and
we're going to fight the fight we want to make sure if the Supreme Court does
not repeal the sanctuary state we're gonna make sure the grass root team like
you see today we will repeal that we are with you we need to build that wall we
need to end the sanctuary state we had 11 sanctuary cities not too long ago now
we have five hundred and sixty ten thousand illegal criminals have been
released under the sanctuary now it's reversing same and it really got bad and
now it's reversing it's a big change of heart of mine people don't want
sanctuary cities they're dangerous they don't want them anymore so thank you
source of the people support us mr. president 65% of the Hispanics
for us deliberate the Democrats everybody is supporting our in my city
ninety percent are with us thank you and I'll tell you what I had a lot more
support in the state of California than people understand check the voting
records folks can I speak frankly yes I'm sitting here in this room in awe of
God's power how he can take someone who was homeless in a tent make them the
mayor in the city and bring them before the President of the United States of
America who wants to hear the cry of our people and that's what's going on our
people are the ones hurting Sacramento is angry because they lost an election
for God's sakes get over there angry and you know what network more angry they're
releasing these criminals not by their houses they're not releasing by their
houses they're releasing them by our houses our children are at risk my
community is my family you're putting my family at risk every day we're getting
more and more reports from the police department about how they can't arrest
these people they arrest him everything's a misdemeanor because it's
not near jerry brown's house it's not near the elected officials house it's in
our communities and we're tired of it we need help mr. president we need help
protecting the city of san jacinto Escondido the state of California all of
us need help getting this solved I was just at a church the other day I was at
my church and I went over to another one a Hispanic church and all the people
from the Hispanic church were out there and they all came up to me and you just
feminists or tell mr. Trump that we have a message for him we want help you
every one of us came from somewhere else we all came from different countries my
husband is is from Mexico my family came way back from before the Revolutionary
War and we've been fighting for this country ever since fighting for the
constitutional rights of our country I'm not gonna stop fighting for those
rightfully look it's coming back and it's coming back fast faster than even
the people in this room understand Kevin understands what's happening you see it
maybe better than anybody but it's coming back people are tired of this
nonsense and it's happening so don't give up the fight don't give up Thank
You mr. president john d augustine ii i'm elected sheriff of El Dorado County
California and the bottom line from sheriffs and you hear from my peers as
well is we just want to do our jobs we want to do what the people elected us to
do that is respect our Constitution and keep our communities safe when this bill
was being heard in legislature legislature and it was going through we
have been California what we called ledge days where the State sheriffs go
and meet with the legislators moving these bills through and what literally
disgusted me was a common term that we heard throughout the discussion of SB 54
from different legislators and the quote was we know this is bad policy but it's
great politics that's wrong because this is built absolutely jeopardizes Public
Safety in our communities we're not immigration officers we never have been
and we're never gonna be we just want to be able to cooperate with our federal
partners so that these folks that end up in our custody and need to be deported
to get deported it's not politics anymore you know if
you look at what's going on because I think maybe more than any place else
right now there's a revolution going on in California they want safety you know
you had the mayor of Oakland that I read where you had a thousand people Tom you
know this because it was your deal in a thousand people together many of these
were illegals they were criminals they were all sorts of whose work and she
informed them and they all fled or most of them fled and that whole operation
that took a long time to put together I mean you talk about obstruction of
justice I would recommend that you look into obstruction of justice for the
mayor of Oakland California Jeff she advises thousand people they told get
out of here the law enforcement coming and you worked on that long and hard and
you got there and there were very few people there to me that's obstruction of
justice and perhaps the Department of Justice can look into that with respect
to the mayor because it's a big deal out there and a lot of people are very angry
about what happened there's a lot of hard work and a lot of danger involved
and that was a terrible thing yes ma'am
as the mayor April 24th we took a formal position and adopted a resolution
opposing SB 54 it was based on our constitutional duty to serve I think
everyone in this room that is elected knows that Public Safety is their number
one priority but we can't say that we are Public Safety driven and also turn
our a blind eye to what is happening there it was courage and maybe a little
risk we were not risk averse to step out as one of the first cities to take a
position I think I'm more proud of the fact that we were just listening to what
our community wanted and they don't want it they clearly don't want to have an
overreach of their rights and that's what really this stands for so as far as
the city of Lake Elsinore I think that this is a siloed approach I think SB 54
is a very is a great representation and I think maybe some have forgotten maybe
especially Sacramento about a siloed approach right before 9/11 and some of
the things that we really can look back in history and see it's going to take a
multi-agency approach it's gonna take coalition a revolution whatever you want
to call it but I'm completely impressed with the room and and what works what we
stand for this isn't a fight this is this is a battle this is a war and I
know that we have a lot of work to do this is just the beginning
secretary Nielsen thanks thank you for your leadership shirt sir and bringing
us all together but and also recognizing what a very important issue this is and
this week as many of you know me celebrate police week and we celebrate
law enforcement everyone in this room is an enforcer of the law and I thank you
for that and I thank you for your leadership
the states are turning their back on the US Constitution in their communities you
are standing up and we greatly greatly appreciate your partnership I know dr.
Holman will give us more details on the dangers of sanctuary cities which you're
living as do our officers and hopes to work at ice and other parts of the
federal family but I just want to hear from you and just thank you thank you
for your partnership and for standing up for your communities thank you I know
what you going through right now with families is very tough but those are the
bad laws that the Democrats gave us we have to break up families the Democrats
gave us that law it's a horrible thing we have to break up families the
Democrats gave us that law and they don't want to do anything about it
they'll leave it like that because they don't want to make any
changes and now you're breaking up families because of the Democrats it's
terrible Rory Edgar loves Alamitos mirror it's an honor to be here you know
I just want to say thank you for inviting us also to the residence
earlier today you know it's a previous ex-navy guide and being able to be on
the City Council of a small city it's a people like you that are actually
bringing the people back to the people's house your house our house so we really
appreciate it you know going through I also want to say thank you to secretary
Neilson there's a gentleman and Arnie in our community Marcus Edo who is on the
local ice officer in charge of Orange County when we came out we were the
first city he came he called right away he started giving me that bright line
between where ice has problems with local law enforcement
secretary Nielsen thank you yeah and then Attorney General you know coming
out first has a price to pay and the ACLU is filed lawsuit against us you
know we would really appreciate any direct or indirect funding there any
sort of fiscal help that you can help provide us for you know things like
potentially putting some of your attorney general or Assistant Attorney a
journalist maybe it's a the base in our military town are helping us offset some
of the costs but we really appreciate everything that you're doing
we also filed amicus brief to kind of join we're going to plan on intersecting
you at the appeals court one of you guys will appeal and we think that will have
a more substantive amount to offer at that point you know we're with you a
hundred percent but we're not in paper so we'll join in with you if it's at all
possible we'd like to do that Pam thank you very much true
I served on San Juan Capistrano City Council for the last three years but
I've also served on the community engagement panel of the San Onofre
nuclear power plant which is they call it songs and they back in 2001 were
testifying before Congress that the terrorists were saying target the power
plants so the fact that we have this unsecured border is pretty low risk
because we know that terrorists are coming in but with respect to the power
plant that is number one that has the worst safety record in the nation and
one of the questions was a power plant yes and the terrorists are coming in
alongside exactly yeah well you can't get into that power plant with freely
you can just drive in and so I asked them actually during one of the meetings
I said so I'm you have a no-fly zone right with respect to the power plant he
said yes and I said so what would happen if an airplane flew in to that no-fly
zone would you shoot it down they said no and that was on the record and so I
just think that it's a Fukushima number one waiting to happen it's on an active
earthquake fault in a tsunami zone where they're storing this radiation which is
a hundred and twenty four times that of true Noble and improperly stored and
it's there's no security so I think that we check it out okay
doesn't sound too good we'll check it out thank you
Thank You mr. president you know sheriff's in California are now in an
untenable position when it comes to trying to figure out now we have state
law we have federal laws and here we are stuck in the middle sheriffs especially
because most of us run our county jails when there became a legal challenge to
the 48-hour holds for ice that was very frustrating for us so what I did is I
invited ice to put their officers in my Jail so they're able to do their work we
didn't have the staffing to be able to help to figure out who they wanted to
talk to who they didn't I said come on in work with our people to keep our
community safe two weeks later mr. president Kate
Steinle was murdered now I wasn't the only sheriff to do that sheriff
Youngblood did sheriff Christensen and it was perfect because we didn't have to
take our time with our staff to do to do anything ice was in there doing their
work in a safe controlled environment and then the initiative started
happening the trust Act the truth--the act and finally SB 54 the values act and
that is causing us all kind of terminal turmoil so here we are stuck in the
middle of trying to decide we have federal law we have state law and that's
my welcome to attorney General Sessions lawsuit because that will provide us
clarity that we need and direction that we need what do we do because here we
are and I appreciated mr. Holman and his the ice we had a great relationship we
still do but now ice is the only law enforcement agency that cannot use our
databases to find the bad guys they cannot come in and talk to people in our
jail unless they reach a certain threshold they can't do all kinds of
things that other law-enforcement agencies can
do and it's really put us in a very it's just a disgrace and we're suing on that
and we're working hard and I think it'll all come together
because people wanted to come together it's so ridiculous the concept that
we're even talking about it ridiculous they'll take care of it thank you be an
ms-13 gang member I know about if they don't we just special certain threshold
I cannot tell ice about we have people coming into the country of trying to
come and were stopping a lot of them but we're taking people out of the country
you wouldn't believe how bad these people are these aren't people these are
animals and we're taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate that's
never happened before and because of the weak laws they come in fast we get them
we release them we get them again we bring them out it's crazy the dumbest
laws as I said before the dumbest laws on immigration in the world so we're
gonna take care of it we'll get it done I'm gonna ask that man right there
because damn can do it right now is the most important man in the room Kevin can
do it he's Kevin well first of all I want to thank all of you because most
people around the country do not realize how your hands are tied behind your back
the only thing you want to do is to have safe streets safe neighborhoods and
protect your communities and for California Legislature to go against the
Constitution one of the greatest strength of this nation we're fortunate
to be in this room is the rule of law they are breaking down society by
breaking down the rule of law that you have a known criminal that you can't
communicate with ice about we know how bad this is but from a one aspect we
should be excited because we have a new president that understands his problem
since he has taken office we have lowered the illegal crossings across
this border that stops gang members from coming across
he has started building the wall 1.6 billion and you know where that wall is
starting to be built in California he has pushed a number of bills through one
to try to stop sanctuary cities to reward those who uphold the Constitution
second to stop the ms-13 gang members you know what's interesting after you
moved that bill a governor of New York mr. Cuomo who thought that wasn't a
problem I saw him sign one similar just the
other day because he watched what was happening as well so collectively it was
City Council's and sheriffs city council not your full-time job but you listen to
your community you saw the problem that was going on so
things are improving and that's why I'm so thankful for this president to call
us together because collectively we'll be stronger
secretaries doing an amazing job I'll tell you the number of times we meet or
call and all hours of night trying to make sure she could protect it
terney general just talked to me last night around 10 o'clock and so from that
perspective we are in this together but we're in it for the Constitution we're
in it for the security and the safety of our streets and I thank you for leading
we want to thank you Kevin you have done you're suddenly going against the tide
but now the tide sort of with us because you see it in the room I mean a year ago
two years ago this would have been unthinkable to have you all in the room
talking the way we're talking but you're fed up with what's happening and Kevin
thank you very much you're doing really great station
thank you for your leadership in your office and on this issue
I'm delighted and privileged to be here and it is so wonderful to be here among
all of you as well because you're all on the front lines
and your own communities fighting this fight I have I was born and raised in
California and an attorney there for 24 years got my start in the law when three
strikes was was starting out in California and developed a real passion
for prosecution I've been I was the appointed District Attorney and I've
been the elected District Attorney now for four years and in the last four
years I have seen California become a disaster it's been tragic to watch my
state pass laws but basically have sent our communities into a very dangerous
place in lassen County we're a very small community but I'm pleased to say
when you're talking about voting that you have supporters in California Lassen
County voted overwhelmingly for you in California I believe we had the highest
margin in all in 58 counties in California you are loved in lassen
County and I believe that to a certain extent we are sort of a forgotten part
of California we are rural California and we do not stand for the policies in
Sacramento we have a horrible problem in our public
lands in our forests we've got illegals marijuana cart excuse
me drug cartels that have come up to grow
in our on our public lands and in our forests and they are decimating it they
are killing wildlife there is not a thing we can do we work with the
Department Department of Fish and Wildlife who file charges that do the
best that they can but these people are coming into our forests they're
endangering our citizens they are armed they're setting up camps and they're
growing mass amounts of marijuana on our public lands they are killing wildlife
they're diverting streams the damage that they're causing both to the economy
and to our public lands is going to be generational a large portion of these
people that are coming in to do this are illegal immigrants because of the
legalization of marijuana and California now we're seeing those same individuals
working with other criminal groups the Asian groups the Russian groups the
motorcycle groups all kinds of organized crime it's bringing into rural
California Divorce I believe the legalization made it worse
I've been appalled as a district attorney someone who sworn to uphold the
Constitution and the laws of the state that we have fallen so far in California
we also have other issues we are prosecuting an illegal immigrant right
now who has been deported several times and has had a violent criminal history
who hit and killed a 16 year old kid a boy in our community and fled the scene
so his case is pending right now after I brought this suit I was promptly
promptly served with a gag order to prevent me from talking about the case
it's been very frustrating also I have received correspondence and I know that
every DA's office in town for Nia has received correspondence from
the ACLU and their affiliate organizations pursue it to the Freedom
of Information Act in the California Public Information Act wanting to know
what policies we want to know we want to see what policies your office is
implementing what have you done to ensure compliance with SB 54 well the
response from my office was very simple we have nothing because this office will
stand for the rule of law Lassen County stands for the rule of law and we have
no policies to give you because we will not issue such policies from this desk
and from this office we stand with you we are delighted with the actions that
you have taken mr. sessions the people of Lassen County stand with you I stand
with you and we appreciate everything that you're
doing Thank You talese ed thank you very much Tom first of all mr. president I
want to thank you for having this meeting today this roundtable we
appreciate your leadership on this issue the secretary I appreciate your
leadership and how you support law enforcement and the rule of law and AG I
can't say enough good things for law enforcement you know I hear a
lot of things today about sanctuary cities and the wall it's I'm not the
smartest guy at this table by any means but sayings were cities they want to
take the Attorney General on to get their funding even though they violate
federal law to keep criminal aliens in they don't want a wall to keep them out
to me that's just backwards and I want to talk I just want spend a minute say
separating fact from fiction please I hope the American people can understand
the fight about sanctuary cities I appreciate that the American patriots in
this room that have joined this fight which is a good fight it's a right fight
the the intentional miss messaging of sanctuary cities what they do I hear I
hear they protect the immigrant communities and they don't it's a it's a
complete opposite when you release a criminal alien from a jail they're going
to go to the very communities in which they live Andrea fent
anybody can Google rescission rates over half reoffended first year again it's a
very immigrant communities in which they live so you're not protecting immigrant
community and put them at greater risk of crime and when you enforce an ice
agent where you can take someone the custody of somebody in the safety and
security of County I'll force it in the neighborhoods you put our officers at
risk you already put the public at risk and we're gonna find others who weren't
even on our radar so you put the tweet at greater risk of crime you put them at
greater risk of ice arrest and you put the heroes the law enforcement officers
at great risk this is National Police weekend said earlier and I want to talk
about the messaging the mist messaging from some of these groups and some of
these politicians about what ice does when you read that you know sanctuary
cities protect the immigrant communities but also you don't wanna be commandeered
we don't the ice age we have never asked anybody being isolated we don't want any
law force an option to be united station what we want is access to a county jail
to talk to somebody that we know is here illegally in violation of federal law
that committed yet another crime you can't tell ice to prioritize criminal
aliens and not give me access to the jail it just don't make sense and the
final point I wanted me in defense of the brave men and women
aboard patrol and ice I'm tired I'm sick and tired of the constant vilification
of these men and women who leave their home every day and strap a gun to their
hip leave the safety and security of their
families to defend this nation and to defend their neighborhoods well you have
a congressman standing from the ice office in New York City and Carlos Checa
stop comparing what we do to war crimes when you got a congressman who said
quote the the coward attacks of ice officers that they terrorize innocent
innocent immigrant communities ice does more to protect the immigrant community
than any politician ever ever has done we've rested several hundred thousand
credit removing from the streets for those people want to keep vilifying the
men and women who took a sworn oath who unfortunately laws enacted by you
Congress the next time you think about vilifying the men and women of ice I
want you to do what I did this this week I want you go to a national law
enforcement law once you walk that wall they read the names on that wall or 400
boerboel agents and ice officers whose heart stop beating defending this nation
it's a dishonor to these men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice to
vilify the men and women to carry badge of guns so think twice before you do it
as far as the hate that I take for defending the men and women of Isis
aboard a dramatic drop will stop the day my heart starts to be in a war meant and
even though I may be retiring soon this fight doesn't end with me I will stay
engaged and I will keep fighting for you sir so thank you very much president
and I respect them all but no present has done more than you for more security
and for law enforcement I think every law enforcement officer at this table
would agree with me that's very nice it's a great compliment believe me
because you have indeed worked for six and all six respected you greatly none
more than me thank you very much I just wish you could have said that to the
press but here's the good news you have such a beautiful full head of hair you
look at it I appreciate it that's really nice thank you very much
Elaine I mean Lane Jenna Wade Laird the city of Laguna Niguel
in Orange County California and so really appreciate the opportunity to let
you know what our residents are feeling but first I'd like to ask director
Holman please let the men and women of ice know
that they have our gratitude and our deep deep appreciation for what they do
but you know Laguna Niguel took a stance against SB 54 because that is the
greatest threat to the safety of all of California residents all of our
residents all of our communities and that includes our immigrant communities
the siloing or preventing law enforcement agencies from talking to
each other is a threat to our agents and to the communities and our country
learned a very tragic lesson on September 11th and that's what happens
when law enforcement does not communicate so isn't it ironic that in
an age of ink calls for increased transparency that the California
Legislature wants to prevent that so we think that all of our residents deserve
to live in a safe community and also mr. president there is an area where we need
your assistance with we will support you on preventing SB 54 and upholding what
ice does but in California we need your help with sober living homes Orange
County has become known as the rehab Riviera so HR 57:24 is just being
introduced and we would appreciate help with that because local control is being
attacked from Sacramento every single day and that is one other issue okay
thank you all right thank you Steve Miller would you like to say something
just what an honor it is to be able to work for a president who has the backs
of our law enforcement officers everything you're doing every day is
saving so many lives all across this country and it's just an endless honor
to be a part of it and even any in a small way so thank you sir
good afternoon mr. president it's an honor to be here on Kristin Gaspard
representing the largest County here today San Diego County I have three and
a half million constituents that I'm responsible for their public safety if
you look around this room near tiny but mighty team this is what Governor Brown
classifies as lowlife politicians well here we are you've heard about the
problems you've heard about the statistics and I could have thought of a
million things to say to you I have a stack of 3,000 emails in my office these
are the emails that have come in thank yous people supporting what we're doing
and I have a tiny little stack of less than 50 where people are very upset with
what we're doing inside was were all going Joey we're getting built right
they wanted it so badly San Diego they wanted it so badly and I said you know
if we build it we will lose a big constituency because there won't be
anybody saying we want the wall but we had to build it so I know they're very
happy about it story because sometimes humanizing the
issue is really important and they family reached out to me and I brought
with me one single photo on that plane since the stack of 3,000 emails was a
little difficult to carry but that photo was the last photo taken of 27 year old
Alexander Mason who was gunned down by an illegal
immigrant who had previously been deported now as his family picks up the
pieces of their lives that have been shattered his killer lives openly and
freely in 81 a motel now it's really interesting what's happening in in San
Diego with our borders because we've created a situation where Governor Brown
makes San Diego a great place to commit a crime because you have options you can
either be across the border in a matter of minutes and shielded by Mexico or you
have the option of simply staying putz shielded by governor Moonbeam so there
are options but there are real consequences for what's happening in my
part just broke talking to mr. Madison about his son and he described his son
dying like a filthy rat in a parking lot while this killer gets just live freely
in Mexico and being robbed as ever having the opportunity to have
grandchildren now he said something that stuck with me he said you know my son he
was a true patriot he was a wonderful human being an exemplary citizen
lost because of the problem at our border so this case in so many others
these are the faces this is what we're fighting for and we're all in because
we're gonna fight to protect our public safety and we are going to speak freely
about this issue until we can look back at our other children and guarantee
their safety in our community thank you for your advocacy thank you very much
and you find Mexico helps or does nothing for us Mexico does nothing for
us they do nothing for us Mexico talks but they do nothing for us especially at
the border certainly don't help us much on trade but especially at the border
they do nothing for us Jeff thank you very much present it's great to be with
you I want you to know the driving is made clear to all of us that we have to
do better we are going to do better in our department we were reviewing
everything we're doing we're gonna probably have twice as many prosecutions
I had a whole bunch of judges and do the things that we can to move this agenda
forward but I want to tell you in my opinion having been here and a lot of
battles over this issue this year Kevin I know you know talking about could be
the year this is the year that we have to move Congress I've always said
Congress will pass anything as long as it doesn't work if you come up with a
bill they will actually improve our sheriff's and our ice officers and moral
officers ability to do their job to deport people that have entered
illegally then they object that we seem to come up short this time let's don't
come up short we've got a leader he can articulate this message effectively and
if we all get behind our leader we'll get something done
ooh this this start thank you thank you very much mr. fred ray grande up deputy
with once County Sheriff's Department thanks so much for fighting through law
enforcement it's much appreciated you know for us as the mayor said the
biggest issue with SB 54 is not being able to communicate with law enforcement
partners we need to be able to talk in since 9/11 we have done a great job of
opening up the communication at the local state and federal level in
addressing our shared threats and in communicating with ice we were able to
address shared the shared threat of getting criminal offenders off our
streets we have a 287g program in Orange County where we are able to screen all
our inmates and some of those people that we were able to identify where
people that weren't even yet on Isis radar because they were just new to the
country and so we were able to put them on ours Isis radar and get them out of
here one of them that stands out was back in October 2016 a 21 year old that
was in jail on child molestation charges we screamed that person and we were able
to alert ice and now that person is serving timing will be out of the
country but that goes away with SB 54 and we are not able to talk and that is
not a good thing we need to address those shared threats so we will reap
these these bad policies that have been sown but lawsuit and what your
administration is doing to fight that is a huge help so keep it up thank you so
thank you very much appreciated I Julie eckworth McIntyre City Barstow
we we set our we have the longest coldest act the National Training Center
is 27 miles from the city of Barstow when we joined the amicus brief it was
we recognized that myself and Mark from my council members ways that federal law
grains over immigration not the state what is happening in listening around
this table of what's happening in other communities I haven't had anything
personal from the ice of illegal immigrations yet but I know it's coming
because we can't enforce anything crime rate is up in California and it's going
to continue to rise as long as these policies are blanket across California
and they don't they're not talking to the small communities we talk to our
citizens every day they're free we have the crime rate in the nation is way down
but in California it's up because of the ridiculous laws and and I just
appreciate mr. president for you here listening to our concerns listening to
it's gonna take all of us and I think we're ready to make the fight to
California to say enough is enough we're done we the blanketed policies
across to California aren't working so we need help
glad that you're making this fight known we appreciate everyone in your staff in
your administration helping and pushing through to make sure that our
communities are safe thank you very much appreciated Thank
You mr. president I'm working samoto from the tiny
tenant will sell me notes and we were first and we were boldest we've done
something that no other city has done we've actually passed an ordinance and
exposed our city to lawsuit as mayor edgar said and you know in this
experience um there's a silent majority of Patriots out there I'm sorry I
brought it up yeah they want this they want us to do
what we're doing and then anyone with common sense knows this California
values Act was put in place to protect those that are here breaking the law and
message I got from this whole experiences the citizens of our state in
our city feel like they have less rights than the entitled illegal aliens and the
entitled attitude is the thing that really just makes me really unhappy
they've built their title something that that we don't even get so please sir we
need your help we appreciate your leadership and about all you gave us
great leadership - thank you sir don't kid you sir but you did a great job but
the state you know the doublespeak from the politicians of Asus in California
the commandeering they commandeered our police force by you know tying their
hands and so that's the doublespeak that comes out of the bullies there we just
plucked the bully and I think being the lowlifes that we are we're closest to
the people we know what the people want and we've gone forward with that boldly
and you know I passed in other cities to step up and do at least consider the
matter listen to their constituents and they'll know what they're what they're
supposed thank you sir they're having lunch great
job thank you
Michelle steel from Orange County thank you very much for inviting us and I just
want to say as a Korean American first generation korean-american went to legal
process to coming in here I really appreciate for the release of Americans
at the same time that you know for SB 54 that because of city of Los Alamitos
they have eleven thousand seven hundred people living there and they have a
constant world and they're counting that as of now that nine counties of 58
California that they passed the ordinance a tip has the ordinances or
with resolutions to go anti a sanctuary state so and then more than 35 cities as
of now this is really interesting experience because I was never called a
married to you know Kevin knows my husband Sean still who is a national
committeeman from California this is the first time that I thought I
was called because I was going out for anti sanctuary state of racist
pigby I mean you know on on the email that you get this and I said oh my god
first generation how desperate that the undersigned are that you know it's been
called but I am very very excited that in Orange County Act if I the lawsuit to
join other in general most so June there that Court is going to decide we can
join them I joined the federal government or not if it's not then we
gotta find an Austin so we didn't work together in Orange County
most of cities said you know we came from Laguna Niguel and someone
capistrano Orange counties all with you and you know what people that I got all
these emails mostly positive and then actually Berkeley study came out for 57%
are against us so poor sanctuary state and forty one person against centuries
day I don't think that point will be right because whatever we get we got all
mostly positive ones except that person right yeah
you have done a great job I appreciate fantastic job
sure well mr. president thank you for having us and first of all thank you for
being a defender of the rule of law and for your overwhelming support of Public
Safety and standing with the men and women who put their lives on the line
every day that's just tremendous you know the
great part about being last is there's not much else to say
so I won't in the interest of time and out of respect of your time
I'll only add one point and and I know this is something that we've had
conversations with director Holman and attorney general sessions and that's the
detainer issue for the sheriff's that's a real problem for us the federal court
has said that honoring detainers is a violation of the Fourth Amendment that
puts us in a very precarious position from a point as a liability standpoint
and we really need to be able to do our jobs without all of the interference
that's going on and certainly I'm going to reaffirm director Homans comments we
have an outstanding relationship with ice we work very closely with them since
9/11 sir we have a an unbelievable partnership with our federal law
enforcement agencies and there shouldn't be anybody interfering with a sheriff's
ability the Chiefs ability or anybody in this
room at this table today from defending people against those who
exploit and victimize them there should be no interference in our ability to
protect our communities to protect our national security I'm privileged to live
in the Central Valley where agriculture is the number one economic industry
multi-billion dollar industry we feed the world ice is not out sweeping
through those agricultural communities we're looking for the people the
criminals not the people who are working seeking a better life in America sent
their kids to school are out everyday in agriculture whether that's nuts fruit
poultry dairy you name it that's not what we're doing sir we're focused on
those individuals who victimize and exploit the weak and defenseless and we
should be able to do that without interference thank you for
having to Adam I want to thank everybody for being here very special people and
we are step by step we're bringing it back and we will bring it back we will
not fail we'll bring it back so thank you very much thank you very much
