00:00Councilor to President Trump, Alina, welcome to you.
00:02So did President Trump and his administration act within the confines of the law with these
00:09deportations?
00:10Absolutely.
00:11Under Article 2, the president is allowed to do this, number one.
00:15Number two, let's not forget that the people that were on this, and I saw the clip earlier
00:19in your show with The View, again, hitting with the absolute garbage that they give their
00:23viewers, saying that, you know, they are going to come after you, they're illegals, and they
00:27just swipe clean people and take them on a plane.
00:30No.
00:31These are gang members.
00:32These are members that President Trump has delegated and said are terrorist organizations.
00:38Trent de Aragua is a terrible organization that has taunted and hit many Americans.
00:45Look at the, the Kalen Riley, look at, look at what they're doing, Lake and Riley.
00:48It's not okay.
00:50And what we've done is removed these individuals from our states.
00:53So then to have a federal judge come in and say, hey, I don't agree with the president
00:57of the United States with an executive order, it just, it's, it's unthinkable and it's ridiculous.
01:02So Judge James Boasberg is going to be holding a hearing on this four o'clock this afternoon
01:06in federal court.
01:08One of the petitioners to continue to allow this to happen is Michael Kozak.
01:13He is a career nonpartisan employee at the State Department.
01:17He's been there since the early 1970s.
01:20He said that all of this was a result of very delicate and intense negotiations with two
01:24countries.
01:25This is what he wrote in part in the filing.
01:28He said these arrangements were the result of intensive and delicate negotiations between
01:32the United States and El Salvador and between the United States and representatives of the
01:36Maduro regime.
01:38The foreign policy of the United States would suffer harm if the removal of individuals
01:43associated with TDA were prevented.
01:46So he is making the argument that this is a national security, um, foreign policy issue
01:54and not an immigration issue.
01:56I think that Judge Boasberg seems to be looking at this as an immigration issue and not from
02:01the national security foreign policy standpoint.
02:03What do you say?
02:04Right.
02:05So when you bring a foreign national into this country illegally and then we have to
02:10remove them and we negotiate with foreign countries for their removal and we make a
02:14deal with those countries, that is a policy issue that the State Department has purview
02:19to do.
02:20Let's not forget again, going back to the executive order, the president ordered and
02:24mandated this and the American people mandated this on November 5th.
02:28We were to remove these individuals that are hurting our citizens who came in here illegally
02:34and they have to go to a separate country and get out of there.
02:37So yes, it's a foreign policy issue.
02:41Border patrol obviously deals with foreign countries.
02:43It's not that difficult.
02:44And the fact that we are having this kind of pushback is frankly just ridiculous.
02:49It's very simple.
02:51America doesn't want criminals in our country.
02:53You want to come into our country?
02:54You can, but you will do it the right way.
02:56In a fierce defense of these deportations, Caroline Levitt, just a few moments ago at
03:00that White House briefing podium, detailed the atrocities of these illegal gay members.
03:06Listen.
03:07Yeah.
03:08I would remind everybody in this room that Trende Aragua is a foreign terrorist organization
03:12operating within the United States of America because the previous administration allowed
03:17them to invade our country.
03:19These are monsters who tortured, raped and murdered a 12 year old Jocelyn Nungre.
03:23They murdered 22 year old nursing student, Lakin Riley.
03:26They led a multi-sex, state sex trafficking operation involving smuggling women into the
03:31United States, holding them in stash houses in Louisiana, Florida, New Jersey, Texas and
03:36Virginia and forcing them into prostitution.
03:39And they kidnapped and murdered a 33 year old woman in Texas.
03:43They sexually and physically assaulted a woman and her daughter in Wisconsin.
03:46They conducted a mass shooting in Illinois.
03:49They peddled untraceable ghost guns across New York City, took over an Aurora, Colorado
03:54apartment complex where they kidnapped and tortured victims.
03:57And by the way, many of you in the mainstream media said that didn't happen.
04:01It turned out that it did.
04:02And because of the effective immigration policies of this administration, those foreign terrorists
04:07were detained and they are no longer operating on American soil.
04:10And we have president Trump to thank for that.
04:12Elena, no doubt that was a fierce reminder of the horrors of some of these crimes.
04:17Yeah.
04:19Yeah.
04:20And, and actually one of my focuses of my portfolio is human extortion, human trafficking
04:23and labor and cyber and finance extortion that has happened because of these individuals
04:30bringing minors, bringing women, bringing individuals over the border and then seeing
04:35them get tortured.
04:36And the facts that she mentioned, those are just public ones.
04:39I assure you what I've been briefed on is so severely disturbing that if America knew
04:43just 10% of it, they would be happy to have these individuals out.
04:47They are a danger to our society and they have no business being in this country.
04:51So Elena, this act was passed in 1798 when the United States was on the brink of war
04:55with France.
04:56It's been used three times since once during the war of 1812, again, World War I and then
05:00World War II where it was used to justify the internment of about 120,000 people of
05:05Japanese descent in the United States, which became a dark moment in this country's history
05:10for which the US apologized and paid reparations.
05:14Are you confident that in this particular application of the law, it will stand the
05:18test of time?
05:19I am.
05:20I am.
05:21And if you need to call it a war, let's call it a war on fentanyl crisis.
05:25Let's call it a war on sex trafficking.
05:27Let's call it a war against the individuals that have been murdered, that have been violently
05:32raped, that have been hurt so violently by these animals.
05:36And they are animals.
05:38These people, as Caroline astutely said, we can name every single gang that they're affiliated
05:43with.
05:44We know if they were not affiliated, why they were on that plane, because it came in illegally.
05:49She went through it.
05:50She gave everybody a breakdown.
05:52We know what we're doing and we're doing it.
05:53We're doing it well.
05:54And that's why America is safer.
05:56That's why our border is safer.
05:58And that's why we're going to get fentanyl crisis along with tariffs and everything else
06:00that we're doing to get that out of our country all back together.
06:04Because this country, what happened the last four years, it's despicable.
06:07We have a lot of work to do.
06:08And having rogue judges try and stop America and the president from doing the job that
06:12he was elected to do is silliness and has to stop.
06:15All right, Alina, thank you so much for joining us.
