It is shocking to meabsolutely shockingthat a great city of the United States of America would not honor a detainer by the U.S. Government. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers should not secondguess why it is issued or not. It is up to that jurisdiction to try or acquit or treat responsibly the person they are now prepared to release to them. To ignore that is a breach of the most fundamental relationships between Federal law enforcement. and it is done for political reasons by political mayors. generally. and city councils to try to win votes. I suppose. It has no principle in fact. I am also calling on Congress to move toward a series of measures. whether as standalone bills. in appropriations measures or in any other planned legislation. to establish immigration reforms that serve the interests of all lawful residents of the United States living here today. These are some things we need to do: End the release of criminal aliens from Federal custody. We cannot just let them go after having been convicted of a crime. They need to be deported. The law says they shall be deported. It has been ignored. Cut off visas to foreign countries that will not repatriate their aliens. It is an absolute outrage that countries like China refuse to take back people who are lawfully deported by the United States. Yet they want us to give visas to them. We should cut off funding. We should cut off their visas until they agree to promptly take back these individuals. That is the whole basis of international visa law. All nations know that. Most nations take their nationals back promptly.
