(pensive music)

- [Narrator] The largest mass deportation operation

in US history's begun.

- All Americans are hurt

by uncontrolled illegal migration.

- We had over 10 million people cross that border.

We don't know who they are, where they came from.

- Don't move!

- We were getting overrun by foreign nationals.

- [Speaker] Child sex offenders,

gang or drug cartel members, and convicted murderers.

- We're making the streets safer.

- [Narrator] Illegal immigration is a crime.

- Our job is to enforce those laws.

- [Reporter] Thousands of protestors showed up.

- [Reporter] They are calling for ICE to be abolished.

- Doxing websites enlisting personal information

of ICE agents.

- What we deal with on a day-to-day basis.

- We're law enforcement officers 24/7.

- We had one clear goal, criminal aliens off the street.

(suspenseful music) (siren wailing)

(ominous music)

(suspenseful music)

- We have a source that has given us

a little bit more information about our target.

He is an El Salvadorian national.

He is on probation.

He has a conviction for domestic violence.

- I know where he is working right now.

It's up off Mallory Creek.

He's doing finishing work inside of an apartment complex.

Once we get up there and see kind of

how many cars are in the area,

we'll determine how many of us go into it.

I have a source that's got contact with him.

I'll have the source call him

and we're gonna try to draw him

out from this job and hop out on him.

- All right, be safe everyone.

(suspenseful music)

Fugitive Operations team covers a huge county.

A designated team is always working every day,

and that's the problem right now,

in particular with Mecklenburg County.

We don't have cooperation from our local sheriff here.

For us to get anywhere close to

arresting the number of people that we need to remove,

it's a 24/7 operation.

(ominous music)

- [Officer] I think, this guy's gonna come out

and meet Dan at a QT.

- [Maria] So, we're gonna strategically place our cars

where we have access to all entries and exits.

- I'm gonna sit at this pump and we'll get a front view.

Supposedly, he's gonna drive out in his red Honda.

Once they approach, I'll pull up

and then we'll affect the arrest right there.

- There's our officer's vehicle right there.

(suspenseful music)

- [Officer] This could be our Honda right here.

Do I stick out like a sore thumb right here or what?

This is when I wish we had window tint on the front.

I'll pull up behind him so he can't go out.

So many curve balls and variables in a situation like this.

He's sketched.

(suspenseful music)

- [Maria] That is our source.

He is making contact right now.

- [Officer] It is kind of nerve wracking

when you walk up to a car.

It is that fight or flight mode.

You just never know.

Hey, if super comes in from the back,

I'll box him from the front.

Go right now.

Go, go.

(tires screeching)

(car crashing)

- Come open the door.

Open the door. - Open the door.

- Open the door now. - Open the door.

- Right now.

- Open the door now. - Open the door.

- Open the door. - Open the door.

(glass breaking)

(officers speaking indistinctly)

- Out the car. - Out the car.

- Come out the car. - I'm out the car.

- He clearly knew he was in the wrong.

He quickly tried to flee and he hit one of our vehicles.

- I tried not to do nothing, man.

I didn't. - Yeah, what's that?

- Come on. - Just doing nothing?

- I was just working, man.

What is this?

Y'all set me up.

This isn't right, man.

This isn't right.

Come on. What?

- He is an El Salvadorian national.

He has a conviction for domestic violence,

which was pled down from assault on a female.

- [Suspect] Pause, man.

This is what? I was.

(Maria and suspect speaking in Spanish)

- These are not people that are just here without status.

They're people that have committed some crime

in addition to being here illegally.

- Have a seat for me.

- [Suspect] All right, just understand that

I'm (beep) freaking out.

(Maria and suspect speaking Spanish)

- [Maria] Ultimately, if you're here illegally,

don't commit additional crimes,

because that's who we're going after.

(dramatic music)

- Sanctuary cities protect criminals

at the expense of American citizens.

- Another illegal alien invader released again

at the hands of state and local officials.

- Arrested and released, arrested and released.

This is happening all over this country.

- A sanctuary jurisdiction is a location

that does not cooperate with ICE,

and that is a huge public safety threat.

There are so many local police leaders

that want to get these public safety threats

out of their neighborhood,

but because of laws, regulations,

or sometimes just even political views,

they don't let cops work with ICE.

And that's just wrong.

Instead of working with ICE,

local, state, and other federal officials

release that public safety threat

that they arrested back into the community to do more harm.

That is a prime example of

what a sanctuary jurisdiction does for public safety.

(dramatic music)

- All right, we're gonna head over

to the target address now.

(suspenseful music)

The target for this operation is a Guatemala national

suspected in the country illegally.

He's accused of molesting a 13-year-old girl.

Appears that they got a warrant sworn out

for the criminal offense and he's fled to Norristown.

(suspenseful music)

Commit block the whole street off.

(sirens wailing) (dramatic music)

Got it.

Sit up.

(Maria speaking Spanish)

(car horn honking) (suspenseful music)

- He's clear. - You good?

(car horns honking)

- So, we had a guy, suspected target,

coming out of the house

are getting questioned right now by our authorities.

We're just identifying individuals right now.

- Sit down.

(officers speaking Spanish)

(car horn honking)

- [Officer] The protestors started up these,

or lack of better words, ICE watch,

and they come out and respond and harass.

- You don't have to answer questions.

(officers and suspect speaking Spanish)

- [Maria] He has an ID in the glove compartment.

He said we could go and grab it.

- Okay.

You get his id? - Yes.

- He is matching ID.

If our guys are spotted on the street, they'll come out

and we'll have a lot of people will take pictures.

They'll kind of impede our officers a bit.

We haven't had any issues of assault yet.

Stay.

Alec, do you copy?

(car horns honking)

Most of the field guys are wearing their masks

just to cover our identity,

because everything's getting pushed out in this area

onto a social media site.

- [Reporter] They're listing personal information

of ICE agents.

- These men and women are not covering their faces,

because they're ashamed of what they're doing.

- They've been doxed, or family's been doxed,

or lives been threatened.

Their families have been threatened.

- Our officers wearing masks has become a big issue.

And it's sad, because if you talk

to any of the guys and gals that are out there working,

like they don't want to have to wear a mask.

It's uncomfortable.

They're not wearing their masks to protect themselves.

They understand what they signed up for.

They understand that this is a dangerous job.

The problem is, is that it's not just about them anymore.

When it's getting down to they're worried about

their spouse, their wives, their husband, their kids,

their parents, brothers, sisters, all that.

We've seen some doxing starting here.

We're seeing some happen in other parts of the country.

If that wasn't happening,

I don't think the officers would wear those at all.

- The individuals that we just took into custody,

they came and picked a target up.

One has been previously deported from the United States.

One is illegally in the US,

so we're taking them in for immigration custody

and we received information

that the target is still in this house.

As you can see, everybody's filming,

not really hindering our arrest,

but obviously, taunting the officers.

- [Protester] What's your name and badge number?

You're cowards.

- Can I see your badge?

It's on your waist.

- [Protester] I'm in Germany in 1938.

- [Protester] What's your name and badge number?

- Oh, they give me a break. - You're not going To,

because you're not freaking ICE.

- I understand it's your first amendment right to protest,

but you know, this could potentially get worse

or could have turned in different direction so.

Have a seat.

- What are names and badge numbers?

You're kidnapping people. - Yeah.

- [Officer] No, they're being arrested.

They're not being kidnapped.

- It's kind of what we deal with on a day-to-day basis.

So, welcome to Pennsylvania.

- [Officer] Target's inside upstairs.

- [Officer] We just got word that the marshals

are taking the door on a criminal warrant.

They have the target in custody right now.

So, they're clearing the rest of the house.

Did they say how many other people were in there?

Because I'm gonna take all the illegals.

- I think they said one. - This guy? All right.

(officer speaking Spanish)

Is this the passport for him?

(officer speaking Spanish) (suspenseful music)

Target's in custody, he'll be going with the US marshals.

There was the two individuals that we took

that were affiliated with a target at the other location,

plus this individual living in the house

who is also illegal.

So, we're taking him into custody for immigration purposes.

It's another sanctuary case,

which could have been handled in the prison.

However, without having cooperation

from these certain jurisdictions, we're out on the street.

- If we can't arrest a bad guy

in the safety and security of the county jail,

we going to arrest him in the community.

And when we arrest him in the community,

if he's with others that are in the country legally,

they're coming too.

- Unfortunately, sanctuary jurisdictions are the norm now

and that is a huge hamper for ICE's mission day to day.

We would much rather arrest these individuals

in a safe, detained location

where it's not only safer for my officers,

but it's safer for the community

and it's safer for that criminal alien to be arrested.

You can have an individual hide in plain sight,

because you have a local jurisdiction

that will allow a child sex offender, a human trafficker

back on the street instead of working with ICE,

because they're trying to use

law enforcement as a political tool.

(dramatic music)

- We have 12 targets right now.

One of them has conviction for drug trafficking.

We have reason to believe that these people are here.

So, we are waiting for the vehicles to come out.

Hopefully, it's gonna be a busy morning.

(suspenseful music) (traffic swooshing)

- [Officer] Target one northbound on Linden.

Anybody copy?

- [Officer] Yeah, good copy.

(suspenseful music)

Stopped at the red light on Aurora Avenue.

- I'm behind you, Vince. - Green light.

145th and 99.

Is he on foot?

- [Officer] No, it's the Chevy Traverse, white.

- [Officer] We're gonna come up from the front.

I don't want him to leave.

- [Officer] Lighting him up on 145th and Meridian.

- [Officer] There you go. Light him up.

(siren wailing)

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

And I'm gonna block him in there.

(suspenseful music)

- Do you have ID on you?

No, do not make a phone call.

Give me your ID right now.

If you do not roll down this window,

I'm gonna break it.

Do you understand?

The alien did not want to incorporate.

I prefer that we don't break the windows,

but some of them do not wanna listen to the commands.

(officers speaking Spanish)

(officers speaking Spanish)

- I got it.

- We were able to fully identify him.

- Is it him? - Yes.

- Okay. Hey, get out the vehicle.

(officer speaking Spanish)

- We were able to de-escalate the situation

and pop the subject comply with us

without breaking the glass.

We got him out of the car and we took him into custody.

(officer and suspect speaking Spanish)

(suspenseful music)

(officer speaking Spanish)

- We got one of the main targets today.

He's a Mexican citizen.

He has very serious conviction

for manufacture and delivery of control substance.

He's gonna be transported for processing later on

and then transported to the detention center for removal.

- In New York City over the weekend,

an off-duty border patrol agent

was shot in the face by an illegal.

- [Reporter] Sanctuary policies kept ICE agents

from taking them into custody.

- An ICE detainer is a request for that local jurisdiction

that has now identified, or come across,

or arrested someone that's in the country illegally.

What we're asking is for that police department

to hold that individual,

so one of my officers can safely

take that person into custody.

- [Reporter] You're watching an incredibly rare interaction

as the jail in Los Angeles

transfers an illegal alien to ICE custody.

- We're gonna flood the system with warrants

for criminal illegal immigrants that are in county jails.

They can ignore a detainer,

but they cannot ignore a criminal arrest warrant.

- Operationally, when a local jurisdiction

fails to honor an ICE detainer, not only

does it release the criminal alien back to the streets,

it is making a neighborhood, city, or state unsafe.

(tense)

- All right, good morning, everybody.

Our two targets today are gonna be

Miguel Quintana Flores and Saul Quintana Flores.

Both have been previously removed more than once.

We're gonna reinstate that final order.

Both were encountered during an incident

back in March, 2025.

They were at a restaurant during afternoon hours,

got an altercation with somebody,

followed them to the restroom, stomped them pretty badly,

including the neck area, and fled the scene.

They were encountered by CMPD.

We lodged our detainer, they didn't honor it,

they bonded out and now we're here.

- This case, Mecklenburg County,

the sheriff has made it clear that

they don't wanna work with us.

He just doesn't believe

that our immigration detainer is a legal document.

Meaning, it's because it's administrative, that it's an ask

and Congress hasn't mandated that it be honored.

He wants us to obtain a criminal arrest warrant

in order for him to turn over the alien to our custody.

(suspenseful music)

(ominous music)

- [Officer] They have movement right now.

He's driving in a truck and a trailer.

We have a vehicle that is gonna box him in.

We plan to do a felony vehicle stop right here.

- [Maria] Because of this type of arrest,

when there's threats of violence,

we're gonna stack up a team.

(tense music)

You never know how an arrest is gonna go down.

So, we need to make sure

that when we are approaching the vehicle,

we're more cautious and are prepared

for resistance or fighting.

- [Officer] Come on, come outside.

(officer speaking Spanish)

Get out the vehicle.

One over there.

(suspenseful music)

(officer and suspect speaking Spanish)

- No. I've done record checks on you.

I understand that you did not have a visa.

(officers speaking Spanish)

- Can you guys run these, and this one?

They're all here without documents,

so we're gonna bring 'em to our office,

fingerprint 'em, and go from there.

In our custody right now we have one of the brothers.

We are not sure where that other brother lives.

He claims that his brother's not here,

that he's been gone for the past two weeks,

but we'll try to see if there's any way

we can try to get him to give us

more information about his brother.

- I think, we should keep eyes on this vehicle.

- [Maria] Absolutely.

- Because as a concrete business,

they have a lot of expensive equipment in there.

If the brother is here,

that he's gonna want to pick up his stuff.

- The other brother's a bigger fish, right?

- Right. - So, if we can figure out,

articulate about getting this truck, you know,

and maybe the brother shows up.

- Yeah. I think, we drive this down to that mobile.

We can watch it for a little bit.

See if he pulls up

and then conduct an arrest on him as well.

- Yeah.

(suspenseful music)

- [Reporter] 37-year-old Renee Goode

was shot and killed by a federal ICE agent.

- [Reporter] Federal officials say she was trying

to run over ICE agents,

so one of them fired three shots in self-defense.

- [Reporter] The ICE agent suffered internal bleeding

and was hospitalized after she clipped him with her vehicle.

- [Reporter] Federal agents say the agent,

"Feared for his life."

- [Reporter] Democrats however,

have condemned the shooting as a murder.

- [Reporter] Since then, the federal government

has surged hundreds more agents into the city.

- [Reporter] Protests in every corner of the country.

- [Reporter] In Seattle,

protestors shot fireworks at police.

- Some of these protestors have gotten violent.

- [Reporter] A mob assaulting four agents in San Francisco.

- [Reporter] Yet another example

of violence against immigration agents.

- Lately, I think the hardest part

is just kind of navigating

and remaining focused on the mission

when we have so many kind of

outside sources coming down on us.

We're kind of an easy boogeyman for a lot of people.

- Don't you (beep) tell me what to do.

- We're enforcing the law that's on the books

and these laws aren't something

that has just been created this past administration

and the largest change in immigration laws

happened like back in '96.

So, there really hasn't been

a substantial change since then.

(dramatic music)

- In Seattle, we do have some unique challenges.

Almost every office has been affected with

some sort of graffiti, or broken windows

or cars that are breaking into it.

We had never had a protest at this building

since it's been here for 22 years,

and it was our first time.

In early July, we had a large protest at this building.

Some protestors managed to get past our fencing

and they decided that artwork

was needed on the side of our van.

So, they also decided that busting out our windows,

taking out the headlights,

and two of the tires were slashed.

So, what they were trying to do

is they were trying to get us to stop doing our jobs.

And it doesn't, the vehicles that are damaged,

just like regular insurance,

get totaled and then we get brand new vehicles,

but at a cost to the taxpayers.

(dramatic music)

- So, this morning we have an individual

that entered the country illegally.

He was locked up for aggravated assault, strangulation.

We lodged the detainer, and because the sanctuary policies

in the city of Philadelphia,

they released this individual

without turning him over into our custody.

And therefore, we have to send these teams,

which encompasses our enforcement removal

deportation officers,

as well as HSI, FBI, DEA, Border Patrol.

(ominous music)

It's John, I'm back here in the corner.

- [Officer] I'll jump on the other side,

so I can actually see, hopefully, the door.

- All right.

(tense music)

- [Officer] A gray shirt, blue jeans, and a hat.

All right, I'm gonna stop hi and ID him.

- You want me to come up?

- [Officer] Yeah, that's our target right there.

- [John] 10/4 coming now.

(engine rumbling) (suspenseful music)

(tires screeching)

- Little baby in the house.

(officer speaking Spanish)

- Baby, think of the baby.

(officers and suspect speaking Spanish)

- Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

(officers and suspect speaking Spanish)

(officers and suspect speaking Spanish)

- What's the story?

- His two kids are inside by themselves.

- Okay.

- So, we're going to have to call the wife.

- Okay.

(officers and suspect speaking Spanish)

- Sit down. - That's your cell phone.

I got it.

We get the individual into custody,

we receive confirmation that the wife is

in fact in the house with the baby.

So, we're good to take the detainee back to the office.

- The men and women of ICE are human beings.

They're mothers, fathers,

and when they see other children in distress,

it's heartbreaking.

They approach their job in a safe and humane faction,

while ensuring that we comply with the law.

The ICE officers do the best at balancing both,

being a compassionate human being

and being a solid law enforcement officer.

And that's what makes America safe.

(suspenseful music)

- The team's coming back with the individual

that we locked up.

We'll take him in upstairs for processing,

fingerprint, photographs, and serve any documents

that we need to have served on them.

(elevator beeping) (suspenseful music)

When we take an individual into custody,

we're not just deporting them.

If they do have an order of deportation,

they can appeal their case

to the Board of Immigration Appeals.

They can go to circuit courts to appeal those decisions.

Some of the cases that we do arrest,

they are final orders of removal.

Some just take an order of removal

and want to return back to their country.

But we ensure that everyone is handled with care.

- Sanctuary jurisdictions don't wanna work with ICE.

Now, we have to fly these individuals

to a safe and humane location

to remove them from the United States.

And sometimes it's away from the location

where they're arrested.

Oftentimes, we hear that people

aren't receiving their due process,

because their legal team is not close by,

their family can't visit.

Well, the problem is that a lot of elected officials

just refuse to work with ICE

and won't let us keep those people in the communities,

when it could be done safely in that jurisdiction.

ICE has to keep continuing the admissions,

especially in these sanctuary jurisdictions,

because these criminal aliens,

if they're not turned over to ICE,

can just go back and keep re-offending.

- In the beginning of my career,

there was some cities that were sanctuary cities,

but the local guys were still able to help and assist us.

As the years progressed

and immigration became more of a hot topic,

postures of certain states have changed

and now became sanctuary states

where the local PD to assist ICE

has been pretty much stopped.

And that's where we're at today.

This will be the last stop before they're actually removed

to an international ICE plane.

So, what's gonna happen here is

custody will be transferred from us to the plane.

They'll be sent with their property, their belongings,

their money, all their information

to the next staging facility.

- We are gathering up a bunch of folks that are ready

to be moved from our area of responsibility

over into other staging facilities for them to be removed.

These vans are coming from the jails

that we're housing the folks in,

which are six, seven, eight hours away.

So, these folks have been up literally since yesterday.

And the jails have been preparing

to get these people ready to go for removal.

Now, that we're putting people

in the plane today to be removed,

we got our officers out in the field making more arrests

to come in and do that same process over again.

- We're taking 'em away from their families immediately.

They get pretty upset with us

once we explain the fact that in the state of Maryland

there's no detention center that houses aliens.

That's the first thing they complain about is,

"I'm not gonna have a support mechanism.

How am I gonna get my stuff when I need it"

Or when ICE actually request like a document,

it becomes trouble.

This way, they're doing it far away from their families,

and this is unfortunate.

This is how we have to do and conduct a business.

(tense music)

- We sitting on a target right now.

He's a male from Mexico.

He has multiple arrests for drugs.

He's being removed twice.

We have information and we believe that

he's back into the US.

We are sitting here close to the house.

We have a team of four agents doing surveillance right now.

Once he move out of the neighborhood,

we can do a vehicle stop.

- [Maria] Are we only following the man?

- So, the main target is the man, but she's also a target.

I hope that they both get in the same car

or whoever move, I'm gonna take.

- [Maria] Copy. So, the woman is a target?

- Yes, ma'am, the man and the woman.

Start getting ready, guys.

(suspenseful music)

- [Maria] Two women are coming out.

One looks like the target.

She's wearing pink.

Heading eastbound on 236, black Mercedes.

- We got ICE on the target.

Once she goes out of the neighborhood,

if you want to light 'em up and I'll come across

and pass you and I'm block the target.

(suspenseful music)

I believe they're going to the gym.

So, there's a parking lot in there.

(siren wailing)

I'm just pulling the vehicle over.

(suspenseful music)

Roll that window down.

Hello? Good morning.

Okay, perfect.

Can you put the vehicle in park, ma'am?

Okay. Can you turn it off? - Yes, it's off.

- [J. Santiago] Can I see your identification?

- Sure. - Okay, perfect.

- [Suspect] May I ask why I am being pulled over?

- Just give me one second, okay?

Ma'am, can I see your ID?

- Yeah. - I got it.

- Okay. Is that her?

Okay, ma'am, can you step out of the car, please?

(suspenseful music)

(officer and suspect speaking Spanish)

Okay.

(officer speaking Spanish)

- Oh.

(officer and suspect speaking Spanish)

- Okay. - Okay, ma'am, come this way.

(officer speaking Spanish)

(suspenseful music)

(car door thudding)

- So, listen, I'm an immigration enforcement agent.

I'm a deportation officer.

I'm actually a supervisor.

We have a warrant for her arrest.

So, you are free to go and and have a good day

and thank you for your cooperation, okay?

(tense music)

- [Maria] We have in our custody one of the brothers.

This truck is registered to the other brother.

- We called the brother and he said,

"All right, I'll come get the truck."

But it's like a total roll of the dice, you know?

- Did he tell him that he was arrested?

- Yes, he did. - Did he say by who?

- [Officer] Yep.

(tense music)

- If he knows the brother was arrested,

he's probably just gonna sit tight.

- He could sit.

(suspenseful music) (traffic droning)

Okay, copy.

So, we just found out that Miguel is on an ankle monitor

and he's pinging at his house.

So, we are going there.

Yeah, I copy, I'm en route.

- We're gonna wait for him to leave the home,

because I think, that's still the safest way to go,

because we don't know what's inside that house.

(suspenseful music)

- [Officer] I would imagine Miguel's gotta move shortly.

- But here's the thing,

he already know his brother was arrested

and he's gonna be on high alert no matter what now.

- This is the hardest part is just sitting and waiting.

But it's part of it, especially in cases like this

when you got a ankle monitor on him.

So, we're just waiting for any movement from that.

It's just showing it in this general location.

They're not sure, if that's him or not.

He's probably getting anxious like he wants to leave.

(beep) his ping moved out of nowhere.

- Where? - He's driving,

but he went the other way.

Yeah, he's definitely moving.

How the hell did that happen?

He's definitely in this area

and he is either playing games or.

- Yeah, because we didn't see him leaving

at all in a vehicle.

- [Officer] Could have been as simple as

he did hop the fence and get picked up,

'cause he didn't want to come out his front door.

- [GPS] And the destination is on your right.

- [Officer] The GPS is hitting

at a concrete supply place right now.

This is going to be interesting.

(tense music)

(dramatic music)

In this concrete business,

can't go on the front porch right there.

He's wearing a white hat.

I could almost guarantee you they're watching us.

- Yeah. - They know we're here.

I think, that was our target that just walked out.

Yeah, that's him.

(suspenseful music)

(car engine rumbling)

(tires screeching)

(officer and suspect speaking Spanish)

- On the dashboard. - Don't say anything.

(officer and bystander speaking Spanish)

- I'm gonna put him in your car.

(officer and bystander speaking Spanish)

- He has asylum papers in his truck.

- Stay back.

That's his wife, so just stay back.

There's no need for you to be up in it.

- You act like I'm going to cause any (beep) harm.

I had a question for him as simple as that.

- Just relax.

She's getting any answers she wants.

- There's a lot of people

that have the perception that we're the bad guys.

They always try to victimize themselves.

(suspenseful music) (car door thudding)

At the end of the day, it's successful for multiple reasons.

One, we did arrest our targets

and they're no longer out in the streets.

And two, no one got hurt.

(tense music)

- This area has gotten progressively worse.

We have drug dealers dealing fentanyl,

killing people every single day.

They targeted this operation.

It's previous drug conviction for distribution of heroin

and he entered illegally.

- [Officer] Where's he at right now?

- [Officer] He's under the hood of the car.

- [Officer] So, he can take him right there.

- Okay, so Mark, pull up in your car.

It's just him.

We're gonna grab him right there.

Remember, he can try to run, so be quick.

- Copy.

- [Officer] All right, get ready, guys.

Hey, that's him.

Move in quickly.

Mark, move in first.

(suspenseful music) (car beeping)

- Don't move!

Don't run, don't run, don't run, don't run.

All right, get down you (beep).

Don't move. Don't move.

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

All right, let's get out of here.

- All right.

(officer speaking Spanish)

- Okay. That target was a drug dealer

who was previously deported from the US

and because the sanctuary policies

in the city of Philadelphia,

they released this individual

without turning him over into our custody.

- It's not very helpful to the community at large

when we're leaving some of these public safety threats

in the communities to re-offend again.

- Sanctuary city implementation is destructive

for American cities and the people who live in it.

- Tax dollars, resources and time

have been allocated to illegal aliens,

because our city has been magnetized

for illegal immigration through the sanctuary policies.

- The lack of cooperation really makes us

utilize a lot more resources

and puts us into the communities more

when we could just pick somebody up from a jail.

- [Reporter] A Venezuelan gang has used open US borders

to build deep roots in several American cities.

- It has hurt our infrastructure.

It has hurt a city that is already facing

an astronomical amount of crime.

- [Sam] Places that do cooperate

makes it easier to achieve public safety.

- With over 350,000 arrests last year,

more than 70% of those individuals

we either charged with a crime

or had pending criminal charges.

If every jurisdiction cooperated,

it would have a significant impact

within the borders of the United States.

- [Sam] ICE has always been one of

the smallest federal law enforcement agencies.

Our goal is to get as many as we can.

We have only about 5,500 deportation officers

versus 1.5 million in criminal aliens.

- [Reporter] Homeland Security

ramping up immigration enforcement.

- [Reporter] 25 final orders.

- [Reporter] ICE has made 300,000 arrests.

- [Reporter] Encountering people coming out from everywhere.

- [Sam] We're busier now than we've ever been.

(officer speaking Spanish)

- [Officer] Yeah, let's initiate.

- [Officer] All right, let's do this.
