The conversation highlights the differing stances of local governments on cooperating with ICE. Baltimore's leadership, including the mayor and police commissioner, has chosen not to cooperate with ICE, despite ICE's success in apprehending sex offenders and gang members. This decision is contrasted with Montgomery County, which has seen a 50% reduction in violent crime due to its cooperation with ICE. The discussion emphasizes the importance of public safety and the role of ICE in targeting the most dangerous criminals. Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, initially defended the city's sanctuary status but later acknowledged the need to address repeat offenders. The conversation underscores the need for local jurisdictions to collaborate with ICE to enhance community safety.
