FOXNEWSW The Ingraham Angle December 28, 2018

But first a desperate manhunt is under way. A California Police officer killed during a routine traffic stop, gunned down in cold blood by a suspect who police say is in the United States illegally this suspect is in our country illegally. He doesnt belong here. Hes a criminal. We will find him. We will arrest him. And we will bring him to justice. Lisa that sheriff will join me in a moment. First Jonathan Hunt is live in our west coast newsroom with the late breaking details. Jonathan good evening lisa. 33 year old ron singh was gunned down at one am wednesday in newman california just hours earlier, on Christmas Day he had taken this photo with his wife anameka and their five month old son. His five month old, he will never hear talk. He will never see his son walk. He doesnt get to hold that little boy, hug his wife. The say good night. Any more. Because a cow ward took his life. On wednesday officer singh pulled over a gray pickup truck that had no license plates. Minutes later he radioed shots fired. Ive been hit. The suspect was seen on it Security Camera footage buying beer shortly before the shooting. He has not been formally named but Officials Say they know who he is. They believe he is still in the area. They know he is armed and dangerous. And they revealed he is an illegal immigrant. That prompted a tweet from President Trump, highlighting the manhunt for the suspect and saying, quote, time to get tough on Border Security, build the wall officer singh was a legal immigrant from fiji. Apparently even took extra english lessons to make himself better understood over the police radio. He was truly just a human being. An american patriot. Ron was not born in america. Ron was born in fiji. He came to this country with one purpose and that was to serve this country. The chief and others who worked with ron singh say he loved being a Police Officer. He loved his family and he was, quote, living the American Dream. Lisa. Lisa alright. Thank you jonathan. Alright. And singhs chief Randy Richardson breaking down earlier today while speaking about the murdered officer. Watch this. You have to understand this is not supposed to happen here. Deep breath. Youre doing okay. Ive been ive been to too many of these tune rals and i never thought, ever, that i would have to be doing this. I do not want to be here today. I would give anything not to. I did not know christmas morning, at 4 00 in the morning when i said good by to him, and sent him off to his family, that it would be the last time that i saw him. My department is hurting. Were struggling through this. So please be in mind when you see them, that its hard for them. Were a family. Were not an agency. Were a family. Lisa alright. Joining me knew exclusively, Stanislaus County sheriff adam christianson. Hi sheriff hello lisa. Thank you for having me on the show. Lisa sheriff our hearts break for you tonight and the community. I dont know how anyone cant watch that without breaking do you know them selves, with tears. I just my heart go ahead out to you and what youre feeling. I know Randy Richardson said it was a closeknit the community at the police department, 12 people, you could see the love and admiration that he had for officer singh. I want to start out with legacy and honoring him and what he meant to you and the new man police department. Can you tell me about Corporal Singh . Well i can tell you that the Sheriffs Office is the lead Investigative Agency and we are fully supporting the new man police department. So even though im the sheriff, chief richardson is really trying to keep his team together. Were there to support him. Officer singh is the shining example of what i mmigration in america should be. This is a young man who immigrated here legally. It was his dream to come to america. It was his dream to be a Police Officer. He worked hard to achieve that goal. Unfortunately he sacrificed his life trying to defend and protect his community. Newman is very small. Its almost like mayberry. These Critical Incidents dont occur. For this Law Enforcement agency, in the history of its existence, go this is their first line of duty death. Lisa sir, he leaves behind a five and a five month old child. Can you tell us a little bit about his family . Hes got a wonderful family i think what chief richardson shared with everyone, your viewers and the nation and even here locally, speaks to the character of officer singh and how much he loved his family. I think the photograph speaks volumes to his devotion, not only to his family but his community. Lisa sir tell us a little bit more about his dedication to the job. I read that he drove two andahalf hours to attend the Police Academy which he put himself through. He took lessons to learn how it to speak english better so he could move up the ladder. Can you tell us more about that dedication . Ed. Its an amazing story. He of the didnt start with the Newman Police department. He was a cadet with the Turlock Police department. He worked very hard. He was a reserve with the Merced County Sheriffs Office. He pursued his dream. To get through the academy, he was willing to make that commute every day, to complete that training program, making him eligible to be a peace officer in the state of california. And yes, he knew that he was difficult to understand, because of his accent. And again, he threw everything into language classes. English is not his first language. And even i remember what he sounded like on the radio, and we all kind of all chuckled about that accent and how hard he worked to ensure that his language got better, his english skills got better, because again he wanted so badly to be a Police Officer, and he worked diligently to achieve his goal. Lisa where does this manhunt stand now . So we have identified a suspect. Although were not naming that suspect. Primarily because we have a very specific protocol that we use to make positive identifications and as you know, people use multiple aliases, oftentimes people share similar or same names. And were not going to make a mistake. Were not ready to actually name the suspect, but we have multiple teams utilizing our federal Law Enforcement partners, state and local partners. We have multiple teams out chasing down multiple investigative leads. We have a hotline set up. And we are working nonstop. Were not sparing any expense to hunt this suspect down and bring him to justice. Lisa are californians in danger right now . No, theyre not. Yes, this suspect is armed and dangerous. But we believe he is on the run. We have no evidence whatsoever to believe he is still a credible threat. Although i suspect when Law Enforcement moves in he might be. But we encourage the public. Theres plenty of information out there. If you see him or you think you see this suspect do not approach him, dont engage him, dont try to stop him. Call 911 ask let us intercept him. Because we want to get him into custody safely without anybody else being injured or killed as a result of this investigation or this incident lisa do we know if the suspect has a criminal background . Not yet. Again were working on that positive identification. Without completing that protocol we dont want to misidentify anybody, so were going it make absolutely it sure that we have an identification. And really the best way to do that is fingerprints. And were not gonna have that until we get him in custody. Lisa sir i want to ask you something you brought up at the press conference earlier. You made the distinct between the fact Corporal Singh came here legally, with the sole purpose of being a Police Officer, to serve this country and his community. You drew the difference between this criminal who came here illegally. Why was it important to draw that distinct . Because i want the nation to know, i want your viewers to know that officer singh really should be the focus of this investigation, and his sacrifice. But i also want everybody to know that immigration is good for america if done legally. Illegal immigration doesnt serve our communities, especially criminals who victimize and exploit our communities. Whether you hate the president or love the president , Border Security goes handinhand with national security. The safety of our communities, and public safety. We need to know who is in our communities that shouldnt be. We should be focussing on criminal activity without political interference. And there is only one entity that can fix immigration, even though there are laws on the books and we should stand by the rule of law, and we should be enforcing those laws. Congress is the only entity that can fix this problem. And until they decide to depolarize themselves and focus on whats in the best interests in the people, you cant establish a system of immigration that plaques bureaucracy, hopefully, and allows people a path to become good citizens, and contribute to what makes america great. Officer singh, he is the absolute poster child for why immigration works if done legally and properly. Lisa should more be done at the southern border to prevent this illegal activity . Well i think that there is at least from what i know, i think that theres a lot of great work going on , on our southern border. I think its inexcusable that we continue to attack the men and women who are there, either as members of u. S. Customs, border patrol, i. C. E. Or any other federal Law Enforcement partners. Stop demonizing the men and women who are there trying to protect our communities, its time to come together and fix the problem. Yes, Border Security needs to be a priority. Its not just the immigration issue, lisa. We have cartels that are trafficking narcotics weapons, little girls, we have a problem with human trafficking. We need to secure our borders and we need to give the men and women who protect us, our federal Law Enforcement partners the ability to do their job without political interference. Lisa sir, california has come under fire for being a sanctuary state. Has that hamstrung your ability to do your job in any way . Well certainly it has. First of all, and as i told the president of the United States when i sat next to him, i dont think we should be subjected to political the interference. I understand why the state legislature and politicians have decided to create these laws because they believe that people need to be protected. Law enforcement is here to protect people. But you cant provide sanctuary for criminals. All that does is silence the voices of our victims. I certainly didnt sign up to do. That remember that our partners with i. C. E. , great, great Law Enforcement partners, theyre not in my county sweeping through church was and schools and convenience stores. Theyre only interested in the fugitives and criminals. Why are we providing sanctuary for people who exploit the weak and defenseless . We should not be doing that. Lisa before i let you go is there any place where viewers and people at home can help the singh family . Absolutely. If you go to our facebook page, just search for the Stanislaus County Sheriffs Office. Theres an official, donation site. Remember that theres also a lot of fraudulent creation of go fund me sites. Be very careful of those. If its not our official site, which was set up by the stanislaus sworn deputies association, and that is on our facebook page, that is the only official site where people can absolutely donate and help this family. Understanding that were going to help this family there are benefits available to them. And my office, the Sheriffs Office and the men and women of the Stanislaus County Sheriffs Office along with all of our other local partners, you can absolutely be sure were going to support officer singh and his family, officer singh will never be forgotten for his service and sacrifice. Lisa we honor his leg good afternoon as i will tonight sir. Thank you for joining us. Our prayers are with his family and your community thank you lisa. Lisa thank you, sir. Lisa joining us now is art arthur and jose, democratic strategist. Art im going to start with you. President trump tweeted out tonight about this, this is the reason why we need the wall. Do you agree . Absolutely. Quite frankly this is a senseless death that would have been prevented had we had good Border Security. Had we prevented this individual from entering the United States he never would have been there to kill Corporal Singh, its on the books it should be enforced. Lisa so say do you agree with that . Look ive said this from the very beginning. First and foremost let me the say my heart breaks for that family. And any undocumented immigrant in this country who has committed high crimes should be deported. Any undocumented has committed high crimes, if you are high criminal who have committed crimes in this country and youre undocumented you should be deported. Lisa coming to this country illegally is also a crime, though, just to be clear again that is why im saying high crimes, okay . Talking about murder, rape and things as such. So if we want to come to a real solution to this, the sheriff said it. He said we want to make sure we can find the criminals within communities across this country. Ive got a solution for the president. Lets pass comprehensive Immigration Reform. Lisa how would that address the illegality at the border . We will legalize millions of good serving immigrants in this country who want to pledge allegiance. Lisa how does that stop illegality . Begin because you allow yourself once you get a majority of immigrants in this country, you take them out of the shadows, allows Law Enforcement to take them lisa that doesnt prevent people from coming here illegally, sir lisa, this is the opposite of what we should do. Lisa one at a time the question was addressed to me art. Lisa ill get you in art, i promise. Ill get to you art. Lisa jose im letting you finish a majority of illegal immigration, undocumented immigration in this country is because of over stayed have i vast sas, visas, not because of the borders. We should maybe build a fence around canada. Lisa speaking of fences, hold on a second, speaking of fences, democrats have supported fencing along the southern border in the past. Clearly both sides see the need to have some sort of physical structure at the southern border. Now all of a sudden theyre broken down in any sort of agreement overboarder funding. Art what do you make of that . It underscores the politics of the entire thing. Hillary clinton, Chuck Schumer, barack obama, joe biden all voted in favor of the secure fence act of 2006 of. Today you cant find any of these people talking in favor of President Trumps Border Security. Why . Because its political. If jose wants to get rid of the criminals we should get rid of the sanctuary policies. You heard the sheriff before. Theyre keeping the criminals on the streets. Those cripple 23458s go back and prey on the immigrant communities that jose purportedly speaks for. We want to get those criminals off the street, unshackle i. C. E. , allow them to find the criminals, apprehend them and remove them from the United States. Theres no high crimes in the immigration and nationality act its Crimes Involving moral turpitude, removable offenses, those are all offenses that we screen for before you come to the United States. If you enter the United States legally and you have one of those crimes youre not allowed in. If you enter illegally and you have one of those crimes were never going to know you had a crime before and youre probably going to reoffend. The average criminal illegal alien gets arrested 7 times. Criminal aliens commit crimes. Jose is obviously with me on this. We want to do away with sanctuary cities, we want to do away with sanctuary policies and get the criminals off the streets. And Chuck Schumer back in 2006 said we should build the wall. I think we should build the wall. We need barriers wherever we need them. Lisa why dont democrats get on board . They were willing to give President Trump 25 billion in exchange for daca. They supported a physical structure. What is the hold up . In my perception its politics, its about denying President Trump that Campaign Promise he made to americans. Why the issue now . Lets go back to 2013. Democrats passed comprehensive Immigration Reform in the senate. In the republican controlled house they denied it. Art wants to talk about democrats want not wanting to do away with immigration, thats a lie. President obama tried to pass come presince such Immigration Reform and the republicans tried to block us from doi
