DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to talk about ICE operations.

Secretary Mullin explained that his agency is simply enforcing the laws that Congress made. Leftist sanctuary politicians have been critical of ICE operations, yet they ignore the victims, including law enforcement officers that have repeatedly been attacked.

A news clip was shown of New York Governor Kathy Hochul criticizing ICE for shooting into a vehicle, even though an illegal alien was endangering the lives of the law enforcement officers who were pursuing him.

“Let’s start with that case, Oscar Belgal, the shooting on Thursday. Here is how Governor Kathy Hochul, there in New York, describes what happened,” Bream said.

“She says she asked you to issue an order that agents not fire into cars. What’s the policy? Will we see bodycam or other footage that may be available?” Bream asked.

“Let me back up on this. When the Governor, the Mayor, all these career, sanctuary politicians, not one of them said anything when their own, the NYPD officer, that was also stabbed seven times in this same neighborhood, in the Bronx, just last week. They were completely silent,” Mullin said.

Mullin explained that immigration detainers were ignored. He also exposed the hypocrisy of these leftist politicians by pointing out that when law enforcement officers are attacked, there is no attention brought to them.

“All of them we had detainers on and asked them to be sent over to us instead of released back on the streets. And when an NYPD officer got stabbed, no one did a press conference, no one was outside protesting. No one said a word,” Mullin continued.

Mullin explained the extent of the illegal alien’s criminal record. Oscar Belgal was only in the country for three years and had a lengthy criminal record.

“When Oscar, an individual that had evaded us last month, has an extensive criminal background. Let me just read it. Has four charges for felony robbery, two charges for assault, felony larceny, misdemeanor assault, weapons possession larceny, possession with stolen property, and two felony charges for drugs. Plus, a strong gang affiliation,” Mullin said.

“They are out there protesting for this guy, and he’s only been in the country for three years, and he has this extensive background, and they were all three released by the Biden administration,” Mullin said.

“It’s absolutely hypocrisy, and ridiculous that they are out here trying to make something big about this,” Mullin continued.

“We don’t make the laws. We simply enforce the laws. We don’t pick and choose, but we are out there every single day trying to keep criminals off our streets that sanctuary states and sanctuary cities release,” Mullin said.
