Kristi Noem: “ICE has lodged detainers on over 33,000 criminal illegal…”

“And while we stop threats from coming into our country, we can't forget about the ones that are already in our borders right now. In prisons and jails across California, ICE has lodged detainers on over 33,000 criminal illegal aliens [in California prisons and jails]. Instead of honoring these detainers against criminals who've trafficked drugs and committed crimes across the American people, Governor Newsom and California sanctuary policies have released over 4,500 criminal illegal aliens back onto the streets to create more victims that will harm more Americans.” (29:21–29:31)
