fraudulent. just the other day, they caught a 51-year-old man from honduras, guess who he had with him as a family? a 6 month old. and because work at hsi they found that to be completely false. that s the kind of stuff we are doing and we need to continue to do. tucker: what would happen if we got rid of ice? exactly. right now, ice, on the ero side. this year so far just the first quarter, 66,000 individuals have been deported. of the arrests that they have made 65 percent of those arrests were actually people with additional criminal convictions. 90% of those either have a criminal conviction or a pending charge. you get rid of ice, think about that. so, 66,000 not deported. you have just an incredible amount of people who are doing bad things but remain in the united states. on the hsi component. last year alone, 34,000 arrests, tucker. 34,000 criminal arrests. 4,000, 5,000 gained. human trafficking cases.
exactly what the hard working men and women of ice do every day to safeguard the security of this country and enforce the rule of law. and also working with congress. here is the problem with that tucker. congress has shown inability to do what they know they need to do to fix this crisis. i have been on here many times saying they need to do several things in the legal framework they can fix this in 15 minutes. although i m going to continue to work tirelessly with congress to try to get them to do their job, i don t have hope that they are going to, we need to continue to come up with innovative ideas within the legal framework where we can to stop this problem. tucker: they have completely politicized your agency completely. absolutely. tucker: moving into the heat of an election season. a number of the candidates have called for getting rid of ice completely. have compared you to the nazis. absolutely. tucker: really over the top stuff. given your expectation they are not
if this is what it takes to make sure we don t have all of these young men sitting around in their jail swallow that because i live in a capitalist world and you can t fix everything at once. i want us to go into it with our eyes open. when coors opened up like leafy green subbranch and starts making money the same way it makes money on alcohol. i don t want anyone to think they weren t warned. tucker: anything that makes teenage boys dumber and more passive i m opposed. to say ian, thank you for coming on. one woman says an fbi informant and press teamed up to defame her all in an effort to bring down michael flynn and donald trump. now she is suing. that story is after the break. eations from starkist. buffalo style chicken in a pouch bold choice, charlie! just tear, eat. mmmmm. and go! try all of my chicken creations! chicken! back then, we checked our zero times a day.
crime. under long standing department policy, a present president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in offers. that is unconstitutional. the special counsel s office is part of the department of justice and by regulation, it was bound by that department policy. charging the president with a crime was therefore not an option we could consider. tucker: got that knew that in fact, just to be clear prosecutors in civilized countries don t prove people innocent. they don t need to do it. that s the standing presumption that all of us have by virtue of our citizenship. instead, prosecutors look for evidence of guilt. and if there is no evidence of guilt, the person is declared not guilty. that s how our system works. so when mueller says he couldn t prove the president didn t commit a crime, it was on add striking and bizarre thing to say. the bottom line is that the evidence mueller gathered did not support charges of
president right now, do you think? i think it s a terrible idea for the democrats, it s a suicide mission but i think they are drawn to it like moths to a flame. absolutely they are committed to it. i don t even believe any of these people wringing their hands over it. it s been part of the plans it s election day 2019. they are on target, and if mueller has given them the path they need, they are off to impeachment even if it kills them. tucker: if you are part of a party that is called for eliminating i.c.e. and banning passenger cars, maybe this doesn t seem as insane to you. it s great to see you. we are out of time tonight, sadly. we will be back tomorrow night though and you can be certain of this, at 8:00 p.m. the so that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and groupthink, all of which are in an abundant supply here in
