Excerpt:
How many billions of dollars has law enforcement spent on crime protection and crime prevention? You want to prevent crime? Help us get the criminals out of your communities. (Applause.)
You want to stop gun violence? Get the criminals perpetrating that violence out of your communities. Last year, ICE arrested 11,000 people with weapons violations. And those are gone from the country now. (Applause.)
Last year, we made more than 105,000 criminal alien arrests and removed more than 145,000 criminal aliens, to include nearly 6,000 gang members.
This year, ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations — with whom many of you work side by side, and we appreciate that partnership and cooperation — made nearly 37,000 criminal arrests, another record year. They seized more than 11,000 pounds of opioids, seized more than $624 million in illegal proceeds of crime, and rescued over 1,400 victims of human trafficking and exploitation. (Applause.)
I listened to this earlier today. The audience of police officers and chiefs applauded President Trump many times...even his criticism of the Chicago police chief who chose not to attend because (to paraphrase) my community standards are more important than anything he has to say. I’d say the police support President Trump...not the useless LIB losers who run the city and state.
Shows what a petty little partisan piss-ant the police chief is not to show up to such a large gathering of his own Cops and the President of the United States. Chicago has been corrupt since before the Capone days. I don't think there is the will to get rid of their corrupt incompetent politicians. I think the citizens just accept it as normal. So the south side will just keep on killing each other, and the so-called Black leadership say nothing.
