Speaker 1 (00:02):
Seven, twenty three at a time you're in Houston's porny news.
All right, So Tom Homan has reassigned the acting ICE director.
His name is Caleb Vatello has been reassigned from his
position as acting ICE director to position that's at a
lower level but where he'll be solely focused on interior enforcement.
Join us to talk about Victor. Is it Avila or
(00:25):
how do I want? I'm understanding now I might be
they've been mispronouncing your name for like five years. Avila. Okay,
thank you for correct Feel free to correct me. I'm
not that smart. Victor is a retired ICE agent. He
knows the farm an inside or out. What do you
make of this move? By the way, does this Does
this make sense to you?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
It does in so many ways, and it's one of
the major moves and many moves that's happening because I
heard you mention the slowdown and there's a lot of
factors that we have to look at why this is happening.
And obviously there's there's some issues in the internal mechanisms
of ICE, and now I want people to understand that
(01:09):
in the last four years, ICE, especially e ro O
enforcement re moval operations really were handcuffed at their desk.
We're not allowed to do anything by the Biden administration.
And that has an effect for four years, a long time.
And all of a sudden, you know, President Trump comes
in here and says, get out there, do this, and
(01:29):
it's it's taking some time to get that out there,
and so it will it. You're going to see this machine,
this endeavor really take off here, assume. But these are
some of the interior movements that require that. But some
of the external issues, there's obviously a lot of people
opposing the deportations and especially sanctuary cities and other factors
(01:56):
that are really blocking the efforts that Tom Holman wants
to do here. And I think eventually, uh, someone's going
to be made an example of I don't know if
it's going to be a mayor, a governor, an elected
officials somewhere in one of our cities or states that
are obstructing the lease type of operations are going to
(02:17):
find themselves in custody because they're going to be obstructing
federal investigations and and and and you're right, there's plenty.
I mean, there's millions of criminal I leegal aliens, still
walking around in every part of our country, and plenty
of plenty of work to do out there.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
For sure, let me ask you this, and and and
I don't mean this in intertrogatory way at all, because
I think we have some fantastic people who have been
frustrated for so long working for ICE, who, as you say,
are just trying to get up to speed with with
with the new reality of the Trump administration. But you
know that we've had some raids, some ICE raids where
people were tipped off. I don't know where those leaks
(02:59):
are there, they're obviously within the US government somewhere. Do
you have a concern that there are people within ICE
who whose mission is counterproductive to what it is ICE's
mission is now and maybe tipping some of these people off.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Absolutely absolutely, And it's very dangerous, it's very sad, it's
very treasonous. If you asked me that this is a
possibly people you know, what we call holdovers from the
Biden administration that that have maybe a different ideology. And
to me, it's very puzzling why anyone would back up
(03:34):
or be on the side of criminal, illegal aliens that
have committed some heineous crimes in our country. Over seven
hundred thousand of them have been ordered deported by judges,
by immigration judges, and they're still walking around. It is
very puzzling, the same thing with the protests, but the
leaks is very very concerning, not just from the internal ones,
(03:57):
but you know, we have school districts, we have elected officials,
we have a lot of media out there alerting the
community and trying to protect them. But for some reason,
it only happens when it has immigration attached to it.
If it's if it has to do to do with
any other crime of a US citizen. You don't see
(04:18):
that happening. And I don't know why they get an
extra protection.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I don't either. Thank you for sharing your time, Victor.
Always a pleasure. Appreciate you. Victor Avila, Avila, actually, Victor Avila,
thank you. I'll get you. Stud Retired ice agent, seven
