There's a share -- -- you fed views says you're in trouble I think trouble.
He says the release of illegal immigrants is a danger to public safety and now the sheriff is demanding a congressional inquiry Shanahan who -- is nice to see you -- Good to see you Greta thanks for having me on packed so what you wrote this letter to to live congress and you want investigation what -- you looking for.
While we're not getting any answers -- fast ice officials here in Arizona.
All the way up to -- -- and now demanding.
Who were these people that she released.
We broke this story last week nobody said a word about it ice has concealed this under secrecy.
And we said wait a minute hundreds of the criminal illegals have been released in my county.
Without advising me as a share for any police chief they said first they denied it.
Then they set a couple hundred were released and then they sent 303.
-- release but they were nonviolent.
Low -- detainees.
And I knew otherwise and so I -- tell me who these people are.
Tell me what charges they were held on and what is -- criminal history and where -- -- And they every -- to tell me as the sheriff any information whatsoever and then we I went out that it wasn't what.
Look I'm sorry sir.
So it wasn't 303.
-- lied about that it was 2000 plus and they were I'm to implement their plan to release another 3000.
And -- All of this attention was focused on them and they stop they were halted in their tracks.
Two released 3000 additional criminals to the streets.
I -- all this is like fundamental -- a little bit -- first of all you know you're the sheriff got to know who's been released to summits in detention as a -- -- -- -- -- they are what their detained for if there's a crime you have that information -- -- that I went beyond that.
Then you -- the fact that you have to go to congress to try to get this information from ice is oversight.
Ice and it's gonna take you thirty days instead of just bringing them they bring the head of -- up and say you know what's the problem -- these people are so it's a little bit of yes it's a little disheartening for the American people to watch out he came and get answers to try to find out.
If a mistake has been made -- so -- political has been made or -- something.
Sinister has been done.
And exactly and and here this is supposed to be the most transparent.
Federal government and it's far from that and it's continual.
Cover up of this information.
And these are the same people remember we all have different opinions about the eleven million plus illegals that are in our country.
And all of us have agreed including -- -- you know President Obama that we target.
Identify imprison the 34000.
Most violent.
Criminals.
Of this eleven million that's this group so now she can't have it both ways and say.
Well these criminals aren't so bad these -- the criminals that they just released to the street.
What then and now we're finding out that they have very serious crimes in their past.
-- don't even know what they have because of they -- releasing information.
You know and that's what I don't understand up.
Now I what I don't get in the head of rice's job mourn former federal prosecutor though they're not people are typically soft on crime at all and neither is John -- so I'm curious.
Did he give this Damon T Hussein why he didn't have to tell you -- they released and what they're being held on.
This this is a problem Greta and we've seen -- and and as chairman I said referred to -- and Governor Perry.
It's part of the course here we've seen it with fast and furious we've seen it -- Ghazi and now their release of thousands.
Of criminals nobody knows and nobody's accountable in this government are pointing in different directions or somebody else.
Who is running this government and what ever happen to leaders taking ownership and responsibility.
And at least try to make it right if they didn't -- and that's what we're not getting and.
I ended it's just so vapid and got to -- -- one step further for -- Is they've got a party you're we have two parties have both have control of -- Hollis behind me.
The Democrats in the senate and Republicans in the house they all subpoena power and it could -- that answer right away and instead it just doesn't happen and go figure on that -- Palin share something in the last word on that thank you -- Thank you Greta thanks -- -- on.
