Sandra request denied. Illegal Border Crossings have exploded under the Bidenharris Administration but cbp is still refusing to reveal the nationalities of the suspects on the Terror Watch List. The big question is why . Hello and welcome, everyone, im sandra smith in new york. John . John you think it would be natural to say this person from such and such a place. Im john roberts in washington. This is america reports. Cbp is blocking fox news request seeking the nationalities of people in the guy Terror Watch List to were arrested at the southern border. Sandra arguing it could expose Law Enforcement techniques and tip off the terrorists. John lets get right to what Jonathan Hunt is live in los angeles p or jonathan, with the latest on this . Hi john. Customs and Border Protection says this is simply about National Security and to reveal details of those on the Terror Watch List crossing the border would endanger that security. Fox asked just for the nationalities to see where the potential terrorist coming into the u. S. Are coming from. According to Border Patrol figures, 422 potential terrorists have been encountered at our border so far this year. The majority of those, 283, interestingly, at our northern border. That total is about twice the number encountered in 2020. But in denying our request for information on those apprehended, cbp wrote, such a release would enable potential violators to Design Strategies to circumvent the Border Security techniques developed and employed by cbp in its mission to secure the border and enforce Immigration Laws by allowing potential violators to better prepare themselves to invade and exploit u. S. Immigration and other laws. And in what would appear to be an admission that there are indeed witnesses on the border, cbp also said, the disclosure of the nationalities of known suspected terrorists that were apprehended by cbp as opposed to not apprehended could signal any vulnerabilities in cbps Law Enforcement efforts of the u. S. Borders or shortcomings within the u. S. Governments National Security mission. So the bottom line from the cbp, john, is if the information is released, bad actors could as they put It Reverse Engineer Countermeasures to avoid detection, thoughts in cbps view making it easier for potential terrorists to enter the country. John . John welcome im not sure about that explanation but that is what they are telling us pure we will keep trying. Jonathan hunt for us, thank you. Sandra . Sandra Tens Of Thousands of migrants have arrived in denver over just the past two years, overwhelming shelters in the citys public hospitals. In the People Living in aurora aurora,colorado, did not want it spreading to their backyards. The city passing a resolution saying it will not be aiding in the migrant crisis. Didnt want anything to do with it. That resolution not enough, it has become the Suburbs Problem anyway pure. Sanctuary city protects criminals and not u. S. Citizens and the real issue is there is a huge increase in violence in these areas in aurora where these newly arrived foreignborn migrants, many of whom are venezuelan, have started to grow. The bidenharris of administration is complicit in having allowed our borders to be in chaos. They have allowed this criminal element. Sandra now police in aurora creating a task force to address the concerns of round a violent venezuelan gang, Tren De Aragua, right there in aurora. A city councilmember, thank you. We have been hearing this for quite some time. Residents have shared it coming up at city council meetings. Aurora said we dont want anything to do with this migrant crisis. They are trying to help because we just dont have the space. Hospitals were overwhelmed. What is it that you are seeing right now as far as this venezuelan gang taking over now the Migrant Centers there . Its unreal. Its unreal. Residents tell me they feel like they are living in a third world country at this point. They are going block by block. They are going Apartment Complex by Apartment Complex. They are taking it over. I think the city doesnt really know how to handle it, so the city is burying Certain Properties that have been taken over by this Tren De Aragua g gang, burying them with Code Violations and playing at off as if it is simply cold violations. This gang is putting up gangrelated graffiti on the blocks they have taken overcome and quite friendly i have heard too many stories from too many Property Owners, business owners, and residents to think this is anything other than a complete Gang Takeover In Part of our city. Sandra what are you hearing from them, the business owners, for example . What have they been experiencing . Breakins. Violence. Kicking doors in. I had one Property Owner tell me that a tenant literally vanished from their property, to this day, they dont know what happened to that tenant. His phone was shut off. They had not collected rent. They went, knocked on the door to get into the unit. The Aurora Police department had to come let them in that unit, and the whole place was filled with guns, money, and giant barrels of gasoline. I am being told they were running a black market for gasoline. And again, like i said, to this day they have no idea what happened to that man, their tenant. Sandra just reading, what we know about Cookie Monster, im sure youve heard about this local gang leader by now, this is according to the reporting in the new york post, this person has set up operations with the other gang members in aurora. This person allegedly took part in a brutal assault at an Apartment Complex there in aurora. In march 2024 was arrested and charged with several felony Assault Charges but was bailed out of custody and failed to show up in court. July 2024, just a couple months ago come arrested for allegedly carrying out a shooting at the same apartment with a previous assault occurred. One of your biggest points is and we have heard this from others, denver initially downplayed the concerns about this gang takeover. Where is the city now on this and what are they doing about it . We have heard the venezuelan gang greenlighted their members to attack police when conf confronted. Thats right. And denver remains silent on the issue. Our governor remains silent on this issue. But the city of aurora, we are taking a very different approach. We are trying to expose everything that we can. The Aurora PoliceDepartment Just formed a gang tax force. I have heard of this Cookie Monster in that he i have visited many of these properties. One time i stepped out of my vehicle and a whistle, they are communicative by whistle, an alert with all happened and i very quickly had to get out. People post upanddown different blocks, watching and communicating. This is no less than a complete gang takeover. I have heard of this Cookie Monster. I have heard he was arrested. The fact he is back out on the streets as an epic failure to the people of aurora and the entire state of colorado. Sandra i want to finish up with this warning from the fbi director christopher wray. On april of this year, when he was warning about the rise of this venezuelan gang, listen. We have ongoing engagement with Intelligence Community partners, state and local Law Enforcement, in some cases foreign partners, in looking at whether it is drug trafficking, extortion, kidnapping for ra ransom, you know, different kinds of violent crime, different kinds of trafficking and smuggling. Even things like organized retail theft. Sandra to your point, right, we know that laken riley murder suspect had ties to a venezuelan gang. Assuming this one. That was a serious threat. And for so long people think, well, this isnt coming to their backyard, denver and the surrounding areas are dealing with it. Final thought from you . The final thought is that out of aurora, colorado, we are going to continue to stand up and expose this peer im working with many of these residents, personally pitching and helping to get them moved out at a hugeg very, very soon out of aurora from these residents themselves and that we will not allow the state to continue to downplay this, not allow the federal government to continue to downplay this. Sandra just a super tough time there and people are watching this and to your point the more you raise awareness of it, people are speaking up. Thank you very much for joining us, danielle. Thank you p. Sandra john, just a serious problem, and not just happening overnight. This has been coming for quite some time and only getting worse. John trai Tren De Aragua has been a problem. Mayor eric adams as it should reconsider its status as century city p. Asylum seekers in our country, those who commit violent acts after they serve their time should be removed from our country. Right now we dont have the authorization to coordinate with i. C. E. , we have to follow the law peer i think the city council should revise what was changed under the previous administration. John did you ever think you would hear that coming from a new york city official on the democratic side . Sandra exactly. Something has got to give. Something has got to change because it cannot continue like this. John not when you consider these violent gang members coming from venezuela. They were criminals they are and are criminals here and im not going to change butte. Sandra scary stuff, john. John we are moments away from todays Pentagon Press briefing and monitoring for any Breaking News as tensions continue to rise thereof the middle east appeared. Sandra plus critics accusing Vice President harris of avoiding the media. Why hasnt she sat down for a Press Conference replacing President Biden on since she replaced him on the ticket . Our panel is here and will join us live after the break. It is very disrespectful to the American People who you are asking to vote for you not to explain where you are, how you are going to fight for them, what your decisionmaking process is going to be. Frustrated by skin tags . Dr. Scholls has the breakthrough youve been waiting for. Now theres an easiertouse at home skin tag remover, clinically proven to remove skin tags safely in as little as one treatment. Han is 22 years old. Hes not just a pet, he really is a part of our family. Knowing that hes getting good nutrition, thats a huge relief for me and my dad. sings old bean piglet head yes that is your name. If you saw his piglet head you would say the same. Toot toot. The moment i met him i knew he was my soulmate. Soulmates. Soulmate [giggles] why do you need me . [laughs sarcastically] but then we switched to tmobile 5g home internet. And now his attention is spent elsewhere. But im thinking of her the whole time. Thats so much worse. Why is that thing in bed with you . This is where it gets the best signal from the cell tower ive tried everywhere else in the house theres always a new excuse. Well if we got xfinity you wouldnt have to mess around with the connection. Therapys tough, huh . Mmm. Its like a lot about me. [laughs] a home router should never be a home wrecker. Oo this is a good book title. I believe this is only an inside conversation, obviously those in the media want to see her do the interview and insiders are talking about her sitting down to do an interview but i can tell you in the hundreds of people that i have talked to about this campaign, not one person has mentioned having a care about whether or not she sits down to do an interview. Sandra that was former Atlanta Mayor keisha lance bottoms, now in advance advisor to the Harris Campaign. It has been, for those keeping track, 37 days since Vice PresidentKamala Harris took over at the top of the ticket. We are still waiting for her to give a sitdown interview. Republicans say they campaign is all vibes but no actual substance. Jacqui heinrich is live at the white house as the week continues. Hi, jacqui. It is unclear who will decide which anchor harris sits down and there are different wings of her operation weighing income from her family to her official office staff to joe bidens Campaign People to Obama Campaign alums, but the question of when all of this happens is also getting murkier. Listen to the shift in messaging from Harris Campaign staffers, a change that happened between sunday and monday. There are two bugs. The Vice President has said she is going to sit down for an interview before the end of this month that is going to happen. As the Vice President said and i think you all know she said she is going to schedule an interview by the end of the month. I think everybody can look at a calendar. She will schedule it by the end of the month. It looks like the debate with trump will happen after trump of its openness yesterday about a new team harris demand keeping the mics on. The Harris Campaign framed it like this the Vice President is ready to use deal with trumps interruptions and lies, stop hiding behind the mute button. The same Campaign Leadership team that broke the rules differently when biden was the. In the day they demanded muting mics, for american voters, so the time is evenly divided and we have exchange of views, not a spectacle of mutual interruption. But now we are also hearing claims from trumps side that the harris team wants even more changes. They want Kamala Harris to have notes during the debate. If Kamala Harris cant debate President Trump without notes, if she cannot defend her record without reading off her messaging talking points that are given to her by her campaign advisors, she certainly cant be trusted to lead this country, to lead the free world. The Harris Campaign has not publicly said they are asking for notes. We put this question to them and we are still waiting to hear back. We will let you know, sandra butte. Sandra Jacqui Heinrich live at the white house, thank you peer john . John fox news senior political analyst Juan Williams and matt gorman. Juan, to you first. Kamala harris like the paraglider, floating above it all, Big Policy Promises but no sense of detail or scrutiny. How long can that last . Its a beautiful summer day and i love that image, john. Soaring over the pines right now, this is pretty cool. Right now, for her, you look at the real clear politics average come up 1. 5 points, fivethirtyeight, she is up 3. 5 points. And you say to yourself, well, wow, one polls since the conventions, morning consult, she is up four points. She is not hurting right now. I think the problem is the media and the republicans think you know what . We want an interview. Republicans want an interview because if she has any slip, they will push that out there as a way to denigrate her. From that perspective i understand it and as a reporter i want to talk to politicians. They want to be held accountable. But from a political strategist point of view, we will do it when we are ready and she said they will schedule it before the end of this week. John schedule it before the end of the week, does that mean it will happen before the end of the week or just scheduling it but it is going to happen exactly, its not going to happen before the end of the week. If it does, they might bear it on a friday before labor day weekend. From the operative point of v view, political operatives, media pap and Interview Prep is a great way to prep for debates because that debate is coming on september 10th. It enables you to get your answers sharper, here what arguments will come against you, questions, so really not doing interview hurts you in debate prep, as well. John but heres the rub. If you are not out here espousing their own policies and giving details particularly on your website, she doesnt even have policy pages on her website, the media is going to start digging and come up with their own interpretations of your policy, like axios did. The headline, harris flipflops on building the border wall come if she is elected, Kamala Harris pledges to spend hundreds of millions of dollars in a wall along the southern border, a project she wants opposed and called unamerican during the trump admin
