ICE is Back … Doing It’s Job! Gene Talks the Border on Newsmax

[00:00:00] Hey folks, Carla Sands here putting in a plug for Gene Valentino’s GrassRoots TruthCast.

Gene Valentino: I’m Gene Valentino and I approve this message.

Epic Voice Guy: Trump won, but we know the real fight starts now. Congress needs a champion to move the MAGA agenda forward. I’m Gene Valentino like Donald Trump

Gene Valentino: and Elon Musk. I’m not a politician. I’m a businessman and innovator. When I’m elected, I’ll put you, the American people, first.

We’ll abolish federal income taxes. We’ll slash the budget and eliminate whole government departments. We’ll send every illegal immigrant packing. My message to D. C. is simple. Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

Bianca De La Garza: Let’s bring in our panel to talk [00:01:00] about all the sweeping measures coming in in the first week of Donald Trump’s presidency.

Pleased to have retired Border Patrol agent and the Sheriff of Terrell County, Texas, Sheriff Thaddeus Cleveland, and Republican political strategist and insider and host of the GrassRoots TruthCast podcast, Gene Valentino. Guys, a pleasure to see you both. I’m glad to be

Sheriff Thaddeus Cleveland: here. I’m glad to be here. I’m glad to be here.

I’m glad to be here. I’m glad to be here. Pleasure. Bianca could be on

Bianca De La Garza: with you. We knew there’d be a lot of action on immigration. He laid it out during his inaugural speech. But now today, another one talking about. Refugee flights canceled. And then this executive order that there will be troops deployed at the border.

That is you’re there in the front lines. Which one do you most impressed with? And which one do you think will show the most rapid, quick? I guess, positive effect with these illegals.

Sheriff Thaddeus Cleveland: You know, Bianca, today I was on a teleconference here in our local areas called the Joint Operations Intelligence Center.

It’s run by DPS and it’s co located with Border Patrol. And during that call, they said all across the border, um, illegal alien apprehensions are down, crossings air down. So we’ve already seen the impacts. But but I’ll tell you, the micro protection [00:02:00] protocols is gonna gonna be the biggest impact. And that is You know, of course, keeping those that are looking to claim political asylum in Mexico until their, their cases come up, um, you know, those that claim credible fear.

But, but again, we’re already seeing the impact and we knew we would.

Bianca De La Garza: Yeah, we did. I want to play a little bit where borders are. Tom Holman is saying ice is back doing its job on CNN. Dana Bash asked him if the arrests were limited to criminals. Let’s play this.

No Idea: We would like to have access to the jail to arrest a criminal alien.

the safety and security of the county jail, which is safer for the community, safer for the officers and safer for the alien. But when you release a public safety threat of a sanctuary jail and won’t give us access to him, that means we got to go to the neighborhood and find him and

Bianca De La Garza: they’re fighting the removal of these illegal.

Some of them are murderers. They’re rapist gene. And you know, we know that some of them 1. 4 million have already been ordered under judge’s order to get out, but no one cared to go [00:03:00] find him under Joe Biden. Mhm.

Gene Valentino: Yeah, uh, well, the actions are speaking louder than the words, aren’t they? Uh, uh, the sheriff here doing what he’s doing, the president doing what he’s doing, Katie Britt on the, um, uh, Lake and Riley Act.

They’re, everyone’s stepping up to, uh, turn the tide literally overnight. There’s a mass transition going on as we speak. Uh, I think that the beauty is that there will be consequences going forward. America. I fear had to see more harm and more hurt or feel more hurt before they recognized we needed a change.

We’ve got the change now with Donald Trump. It’s my hope and prayer that we stay the course and not let this thing rebound into, into, uh, the ills of the past again.

Bianca De La Garza: Uh, I don’t think there’s any way that we’re ever going back with folks like Tom Homan, but I will say designating terrorists as, uh, a cartels as terrorists is [00:04:00] huge because then it puts the federal government on the page of like isis and and they can really deploy tools that we know without us that they haven’t been able to do And you know the pentagon deploying 1500 active duty troops Good.

This is something that we’ve done. You know, in Colombia, we know we’ve had people liaising, but they were never able to do it because of the cartel distinction, not as a terrorist organization. That’s a game changer, isn’t it?

Sheriff Thaddeus Cleveland: It certainly is, Bianca. And look, back in 2019 and 2020, I was actually Border Patrol’s representative to U.

  1. Army North, and they were the ones that would receive what we call the RFA’s request for assistance from DHS, and then we would put them in play along the border. Um, we will see that happen again, and to your point specifically about the, uh, the designation of terrorist organizations, the cartels. Look, I’ve often been a big proponent saying, not that we didn’t need to do it, but we had, we had programs in place where we worked with the Mexican government.

We were giving them intel. We had vetted units. But yesterday, President Trump said that, you know, he would look at possibly using [00:05:00] military action. I didn’t think that was a possibility, but we know now, not to second guess President Trump.

Bianca De La Garza: Well, you know, the cartels are so powerful in Mexico, and we’ve seen extreme political violence when candidates come in and Mexico, you know that if you’re a change agent, they’re just going to shoot you.

They want to keep things the way it is doing, because, of course, hundreds of billions of dollars they started making. They really started making it when Joe Biden took office. It jumped hundreds of millions of dollars in the cartels right now. They have been raking it in for so long. This is not what they want for their business.

Gene Valentino: Yeah, I mean, this is a big disruption in their corrupt scheme that has been endorsed by certain folks in the Democrat Party and the deep state. This is clearly a disruption in a cartel endeavor. I got a great idea, Bianca. Nevermind Greenland, let’s make Mexico the 51st state. They can all stay right where they are and enjoy the riches of America and not worry about crossing a border and we’ll collect taxes from them at the same time.

What do you [00:06:00] think? Well,

Bianca De La Garza: I guess anything when you have a So we’re going to have a lot of people on the phone, creative president could be floated. But right now the CBP app is shut down and a whole bunch of other things being enacted, right? We will wait and watch how this plays out in the coming few days.

Great to see you both appreciate your thoughtful analysis. As always, Gene Valentino and Sheriff Thaddeus Cleveland. Thank you, guys.
