00:00I know the Supreme Court has issued that stay, deciding whether he should be sent back to the United States.
00:12Why does the Justice Department believe that he shouldn't be sent?
00:15Well, first of all, it was an administrative error as to why he was deported.
00:22And he is a known gang member.
00:25I testified he was a gang member.
00:27And we believe he should stay where he is.
00:30You know, the defense had argued that he was a journeyman, that he was training to be an electrician.
00:39While the last gang member we arrested, who was a violent murderer, was also hanging wallpaper in a place called Villages in Florida.
00:48One of the biggest retirement places in our country.
00:51So these people are living among us.
00:53One of the big cases we had, I think you're very aware of, half an hour from where we're standing, was another violent gang member living right among us in a very, very nice residential neighborhood.
01:05Wreaths on the door next door to him, children's bicycles.
01:08So that's what these gangs do.
01:10They infiltrate our country and they live among us.
01:12So to say that he was training to be an electrician does not legitimize him from being a violent gang member.
01:19And we will continue to fight for the safety of Americans and get these people out of our country to make America safe.
01:26Every victim of crime deserves to be safe.
01:29And these families who have lost loved ones to these, they are foreign adversaries.
01:34They are terrorists.
01:35And they are living among us no longer.
01:37And especially after that ruling yesterday.
01:39They better start self-deporting because we're coming after them.
01:42Two quick questions.
