Official: Targeted ICE operations continue amid jail coordination (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: The President of the United States called me Monday morning and asked me to deploy here. I'm staying so the problem's gone. I had a very good meeting with Attorney General Ellison and he has clarified for me that county jails may notify ICE of the release dates of criminal public safety risks so ICE can take custody of them. This is common sense cooperation that allows us to draw down on the number of people we have here. We will conduct targeted enforcement operations, targeted, what we've done for decades. We are not surrendering the President's mission in immigration enforcement. Let's make that clear. Prioritization of criminal amendments doesn't mean we forget about everybody else, that's just simply ridiculous. I want to make it clear, ICE and CBP officers are performing their duties in a challenging environment under tremendous circumstances, but they're trying to do it with professionalism. If they don't, they'll be dealt with. From day one, I said on any of these shootings, as a career law enforcement officer, we'll let the investigation roll out, let the investigation play out, and let it go where it goes. I'm not going to come out and make any comments that I think is right, wrong, do I have an opinion? Yeah. I have a personal opinion, but I'm not going to share that with you. I don't want to see anybody die. And despite what people think of Tom Holman, I say a prayer every night, that everybody goes home safe. This isn't good, but I think my conversations the last two and a half days are leading us to a safer community.
