Wired -- he's accusing -- -- administration playing politics at the expense of safety.
-- begin in about a week ago the Department of Homeland Security began releasing thousands of illegal immigrants from detention.
And they're blaming the sequestered that was the reason.
But now county sheriff Paul -- you -- released dangerous and on acceptable he joins us nice to see you share.
Good to see you Greta.
So share out what's the problem with ever release it all -- -- -- that the Homeland Security says that they have to that they don't have the cash to sequester is putting enough financial pinch on them.
Well -- -- in the business of clues and evidence and there's a clue this is a week before that all these deadlines for this.
Doomsday scenario sequestered now.
This plan not only this weekend they released 500 plus right in my county these are criminal.
Illegals -- politic analysts said the 34000.
-- that they have for ice detainees.
That it's gonna have to come down and there's estimates now to 25000.
Plus.
Where are they going and in these are the illegals that even President Obama says need to be deported.
Why do you think they're doing this when you think it's -- just think it's simply politics because I had presumed that nobody wants to but.
People who we think -- -- are criminals who are violent criminals back on the straight.
You would hope not and and what this happened.
Here's what they did they never call the police chief in my county than ever called me is a sheriff and now hundreds literally illegals that.
A lot of them were even arrested in my county but it -- metro Phoenix -- incarcerated.
In prison in my county and now they're releasing them opening up the doors and they're out on the streets.
Not only that's not fair why would they sacrifice first.
Public safety public safety the military are the core responsibilities of our government and this is a first thing to go.
How do you Friday -- about it.
We had at least that does and ice agents and supervisors that called me.
Because they they know that we have pushed hard against illegal immigration and to secure our border.
And they knew nobody was doing anything about it they were.
It was -- crisis management they were told start to release everybody they brought him in unpaid overtime Saturday in this past Sunday.
And really started to release 200 plus today just here in my county.
Ice never told anybody about it.
And we released this publicly this morning and then only then ice came out and said.
Well they're the best of the worst they're not -- real violent ones but they're the criminal once.
And we have a problem with a because it undermines the rule of law and the fact that.
These are criminals besides the fact that very illegals they're they've committed additional crimes from theft burglary burglary.
All kinds of other crimes here in our community and they shouldn't be really.
Least I will -- -- -- -- -- -- the fact is in the right now nothing's been cut as we sit here right -- tonight to the extent that it let anybody out because they've got to find -- a financial -- Well that's not true because it hasn't happened number one of the pain overtime for -- elect people -- that's even worse is repaid extra.
Secondly is secondly if these sequester is simply a slowed growth.
And that is still a growth you'd think they'd have even more money not hold as much -- is expected to understand why they have two left why the F didn't -- eleven new and that that's not a financial -- it has not been as much cash is expected.
You're right and then this why it goes to the point and and the viewers can decide.
Why would they do this now this is that hot button issue there's issues debate going on nationally about the eleven million illegals.
We all have different opinions about whether.
Two.
Give them a path to citizenship or -- work he's ever nothing.
And okay we respect difference of opinions but we all agreed just last week.
That these 34000 criminal illegals.
They need to be deported identified and deported and now they've just been given.
An actual budget pardon literally.
-- thank you.
Thank you --
