that this is happening at his order. which is it? right now as a result of the president s order greatly expanded and more vigorous immigration enforcement activities are taking place. it is true that operation cross-check is something that happens every year. but this year we ve taken new and greater steps to remove criminal aliens from our communities. i had a phone call yesterday with someone from dhs who talked about an immigration enforcement activity at 4:00 in the morning where a gang member was removed, a wife beater, somebody who was a threat to public safety with a long arrest record. but because they didn t have the right kinds of quiks, they weren t convictions, they weren t considered a priority by the previous administration. because of rump s actions, innocent people because of trump s actions, innocent people are being kept out of harm s way. we spend too little time thinking about the effects of open borders. chris: steven?
i.c.e. official that said under the title of operation cross check as they appear to be using in this instance according to representative castro from texas, they did carry out actions similar to this. you know, the big question and part of the reason that there s a lot of concern out there among immigrant communities is who exactly was targeted and that s where you re still seeing some democratic lawmakers and advocates ask a lot of questions, because you know, we do know that since the trump administration took office, they have released new enforcement priorities that are much broader than the wups the obama administration took under and they ve also attacked sanctuary cities where some of these lawmakers have given preks to undocumented immigrants. i believe we have some comments from city councilman in texas expressing concern about the raid. you ve heard of several confirmed i.c.e. actions in austin. we are here to denounce those actions.
depends upon every day a new poll. brad, final word. this is obama s morphing into jimmy carter as we speak, this is 1979 all over again, we have confrontation with iran, high gases prices, economic malaise which i call the obama funk. we can t get out of this because we don t have the leadership, the desire, the will, of a president who promised change, but now there s no hope. shannon: i know you re itching but what we re going to do is go to pay per view during the commercial! great to see you, thank you. just as president obama is meeting with the mexican president today, immigration and customs enforcement is making a major announcement. a massive roundup of the nation s most dangerous illegals. more than 3000 arrests so far. all part of our week-long effort called operation cross-check. william la jeunesse is tracking it for us live in our west coast newsroom. hi william. reporter: shan i don t know, this is the crux of the president s immigration push in an election year
provided you don t commit a crime. morton disagrees. we can remove about 400,000 people a year, about half of those last year were criminal offenders and half of those were noncriminal offenders so the idea that somehow we re not enforcing the law, against regular immigration violators, simply isn t true. nationwide, it took 2000 officers to catch 3000 criminals. now, ice has a new program designed to reduce that backlog with a seamless transfer of jail to deportation, but we have a long way to go, operation cross check apprehended, less than 1% of 500,000 fugitive criminals, living among us. in los angeles, william la jeunesse, fox news. i m harris falkner and this is the fox report. it s the bottom of the hour, time now for the top of the news. a new supreme court term begins tomorrow and jifrts on the nation s highest court returning from a three month recess. topping their agenda, president obama s sweeping
in operation cross check and we re length who those illegals are and what they were doing in the u.s. also a guy who eluded law enforcement for four decades after hijacking a plane to algeria. his name is george wright, a convicted killer. even if you don t remember his name, he probably changed your life, if you fly anywhere. changed the way we re all screened for security at the airports. this incredible international crime tale and how the feds finally nailed him. so don t let odor stop you. gillette odor shield. turns odor into freshness. yeah, i toog nyguil bud i m stild stubbed up.
