00:00:07THIS IS THE LAST. >> ONE ON THE SANCTIONS. IF THE
00:00:09HOUSE
00:00:13>> YOU SEE, YOU'RE. NOW, YOU DON'T DO THAT. DON'T ASK ME
00:00:17THOSE KINDS OF HYPOTHETICAL. IF WHAT THE PRESIDENT'S GOING TO DO. I DON'T DO THAT. OKAY. WHAT
00:00:21I DO IS BRING YOU REALLY GOOD,
00:00:24FACT BASED STUFF TO WRITE REALLY
00:00:26GOOD STORIES. SO GO WRITE SOME
00:00:29GOOD STORIES, OKAY? >> TAKE CARE. >> WHITEHOUSE. BORDER CZAR. TOM
00:00:32HOMAN SPOKE ABOUT THE ADMINISTRATION'S IMMIGRATION
00:00:36POLICY AND INJUNCTIONS AGAINST
00:00:38ICE DURING REMARKS TO REPORTERS
00:00:41OUTSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE
00:00:45>> I WANTED TO ASK IF YOU FEEL AS THOUGH PRESIDENT TRUMP STILL
00:00:48HAS CONFIDENCE IN MARKWAYNE MULLIN AS THE U.S. DHS
00:00:52SECRETARY. YES. >> YOU KNOW, LET ME SAY SOMETHING. YOU KNOW, I SEE A LOT
00:00:56OF ATTACKS ON MARKWAYNE MULLIN. >> CAN I GET YOU?
00:00:57>> CAN I GET YOU? THE NUMBERS
00:01:00SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. SAFEST, MOST SECURE BORDER IN HISTORY.
00:01:03NATION. NUMBER ONE. NUMBER TWO.
00:01:06IN JUNE, ICE ARRESTED. MORE
00:01:09ALIENS THAN ANY TIME IN THE
00:01:11HISTORY OF THE AGENCY. RECORD
00:01:14RECORD SETTING. HISTORIC NUMBER. AND WHAT HAPPENED IN JULY? THEY
00:01:17BLEW JUNE'S NUMBERS OUT OF THE WATER. SO, YOU KNOW, ICE, BORDER
00:01:20PATROL. SIS, YOU'RE ALL DOING
00:01:24GREAT. SO, YEAH, I THINK PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS FAITH IN HIS CABINET. ABSOLUTELY. >> COULD YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT
00:01:28ON WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS CALLING ACTIVIST JUDGES, UH, SORT OF INTERFERING WITH ICE
00:01:32ARRESTS AND WHAT THE
00:01:33ADMINISTRATION'S PLAN IS TO SORT OF THIS IN COURT.
00:01:37>> DOJ IS LITIGATING AS MUCH AS THEY CAN. BUT, YOU KNOW, I JUST TALKED ABOUT RECORD NUMBERS THE
00:01:40LAST TWO MONTHS. WE'RE MAKING MORE ARRESTS THIS YEAR. WE DID
00:01:43LAST YEAR. WE'RE MAKING MORE ARRESTS AT ANY TIME IN HISTORY.
00:01:46AND THAT IS DESPITE THE FACT WE
00:01:48GOT OVER 100 NATIONWIDE INJUNCTIONS FILED AGAINST US. WE
00:01:52HAD LAST TIME I COUNTED, 65,000
00:01:55HABEAS CASES WHERE WE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO DETAIN PEOPLE. THE ALIENS WE ARRESTED HAD TO BE RELEASED. NOW WE GOT TO GO FIND
00:01:59THEM AGAIN SANCTUARY CITIES
00:02:02WE'RE UNDER. WE'RE UNDER A
00:02:04SURGE OF ACTIVIST JUDGES OPINIONS. EVEN THOUGH THE SUPREME COURT SAID A DISTRICT
00:02:08JUDGE SHOULDN'T MAKE A NATIONWIDE INJUNCTION, THEY'RE STILL DOING IT. SO, YOU KNOW,
00:02:12TODD BLANCHE, DOJ, THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. WE JUST GOT TO KEEP
00:02:14GOING TO THE COURTS. BUT DESPITE
00:02:17ALL THE HATE, DESPITE ALL THE
00:02:23MISINFORMATION, DESPITE THE RADICAL COURTS, ICE IS STILL
00:02:26BREAKING RECORDS. >> WHAT IS THE BIGGEST IMMIGRATION THREAT TO AMERICA.
00:02:29RIGHT NOW?
00:02:37>> I THINK WHAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION DID FOR FOUR
00:02:40YEARS, 2.1 MILLION. GOTAWAYS
00:02:44KNOWN GOTAWAYS. THESE ARE PEOPLE WE GOT ON VIDEO, DRONE TRAFFIC
00:02:48SENSOR TRAFFIC, 2.1 MILLION PEOPLE CROSSED THE BORDER. WE DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE, WHERE
00:02:50THEY CAME FROM. YOU PAY THE
00:02:53CARTELS ONE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO GET TO THE BORDER, TURN YOURSELF
00:02:57INTO GREEN UNIFORM, GET RELEASED IN 24 HOURS, GET FLOWN TO THE CITY OF YOUR CHOICE. GET A FREE
00:03:01HOTEL ROOM, GET THREE MEALS A DAY, GET FREE MEDICAL CARE.
00:03:04WELL, IF YOU PAY, IF YOU WANT TO PAY MORE, THE CARTELS, YOU GET
00:03:08AWAY. WHY DID 2.1 MILLION PEOPLE
00:03:11PAY MORE TO GET AWAY? WHY DID 2.1 MILLION PEOPLE PAY MORE NOT
00:03:15TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT
00:03:17GIVEAWAY VETTED. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE FINGERPRINTED.
00:03:21THAT'S JUST SCARE THE HELL OUT OF EVERYBODY. IT SCARES THE HELL
00:03:24OUT OF ME. THAT WAS THE BIGGEST NATIONAL SECURITY BLUNDER IN THE
00:03:27HISTORY OF THIS NATION. AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BIRTH
00:03:30TOURISM. THAT CONCERNS ME, BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL COME HERE
00:03:34UNDER FALSE PRETENSE TO GIVE BIRTH TO U.S. CITIZEN CHILD.
00:03:38THAT IS A BIG NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TWO
00:03:40BIGGEST OFFENDERS OF THAT ARE RUSSIA AND CHINA. >> WHAT DO YOU MAKE.
00:03:43>> OF THE ONGOING SECURITY.
00:03:49>> THREATS AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP? >> PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE GREATEST PRESIDENT IN MY LIFETIME. THERE'S A LOT OF
00:03:53PEOPLE I HATE. I GOT DEATH THREATS AGAINST ME EVERY DAY.
00:03:57WE'RE ANYWHERE. AMERICAN PEOPLE VOTED FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP
00:04:01OVERWHELMINGLY TO REPRESENT THIS COUNTRY. HE'S DOING A GREAT
00:04:04JOB. YOU KNOW, LOOK AT THE CRIME RATE HE'S DONE, YOU KNOW, FOR
00:04:07LAW ENFORCEMENT. AGAIN, MOST
00:04:11SECURE BORDER EVER. RECORD NUMBER OF IMMIGRATION ARRESTS
00:04:15AND YOU KNOW, PRESIDENT TRUMP
00:04:18SAID IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, HE'S DOING A GOOD JOB. GREAT JOB.
00:04:20>> ANY UPDATES, SIR, ON THE INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE ICE
00:04:23OFFICERS INVOLVED INSIGHT INTO
00:04:31WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THOSE.
00:04:36>> DOJ. >> DO YOU THINK THAT FOREIGN COUNTRIES ARE FINALLY GETTING THE MEMO THAT BORDER IS CLOSED?
00:04:40THEY'RE NOT SENDING AS MANY PEOPLE OVER? IS THAT WHAT INTEL IS SAYING?
00:04:43>> OH, YEAH. WE WENT FROM 12,000 A DAY UNDER BIDEN TO, I THINK
00:04:46THIS MORNING. IT'S 164, 12,164.
00:04:50DIFFERENCE IS WHAT HAPPENED TO
00:04:53164. NONE OF THEM WERE RELEASED IN THE COUNTRY. MORE SECURE BORDER.
00:04:56>> IS IRAN AN ACTIVE THREAT TO THE HOMELAND? WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE PRESIDENT SWITCHING
00:05:00OUT PLANES. HOW MUCH OF A THREAT
00:05:03IS IRAN TO OUR HOMELAND RIGHT NOW? >> AGAIN, THAT'S A QUESTION FOR
00:05:07OTHERS. I MEAN, I'M THE BORDER CZAR. I MEAN, IMMIGRATION GUY. I
00:05:10THINK WE ALL KNOW IRAN IS A THREAT TO THIS NATION. BUT THAT'S THAT'S A QUESTION FOR
00:05:14THE INTELLIGENCE. IT'S A QUESTION FOR OTHER PEOPLE. >> BUT WHAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU WANT US TO
00:05:18KNOW? WHAT DO YOU CARE ABOUT, SIR? >> I CARE ABOUT I CARE ABOUT THE
00:05:21LIES BEING TOLD IN THE MEDIA,
00:05:24ABOUT ICE. I'M SICK OF THE
00:05:27MISINFORMATION FROM BOTH SIDES. ICE HAS NEVER ARRESTED AN ALIEN
00:05:30INSIDE AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THEY'VE NEVER ARRESTED AN ALIEN INSIDE OF A HOSPITAL. THEY NEVER
00:05:33ARRESTED. ALIEN SIDE OF A A
00:05:36CHURCH. BUT I HEAR IT. YOU KNOW,
00:05:40I HEAR PEOPLE SAYING THAT, YOU
00:05:43KNOW, I KNOW SOME PEOPLE ARE UPSET. THEY DON'T THINK WE'RE
00:05:47DOING ENOUGH RECORD OF ARREST AND DEPORTATION. BUT THAT'S JUST PART OF EVERYTHING I JUST SAID
00:05:51ABOUT ACTIVIST JUDGES. OVER 100 NATIONWIDE INJUNCTIONS, PEOPLE
00:05:54OUT THERE SAYING, WELL, WE'RE ADDING COAST GUARD AND BORDER
00:05:58PATROL NUMBERS TO ICE NUMBERS. BULLCRAP NOT HAPPENING. I SEE
00:06:01THE REPORT EVERY MORNING. COAST GUARD NUMBERS, BORDER PATROL NUMBERS, ICE NUMBERS. AND WE
00:06:05REPORT ICE NUMBERS IN JUNE AND JULY. THEY WERE ICE NUMBERS. SO
00:06:08LET'S STOP THE MISINFORMATION.
00:06:17SCREAMING. WE SHOULD DO MORE. I WANT TO DO MORE TOO. BUT THESE MEN AND WOMEN ARE ICE ARE HUMAN
00:06:20BEINGS BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE
00:06:26OVERWORKED, YOU DON'T GET DAY OFF. YOU'RE TIRED. TRAGEDIES CAN
00:06:29HAPPEN. WE DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. I APPRECIATE IT.
00:06:31>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, SIR.
