"No [Donald Trump will not build a wall]."

"He's not gonna to build the wall."

"I never particularly thought that the border wall was anything more than a campaign symbol."

"Republicans in the Senate are going to do this time what they didn't do last time, which is fund the building of the wall."

"With President Trump back in office we'll be able to resume construction on the border wall."

"President Trump will fight back and build a strong, secure wall."

"Republicans and President Trump will finish the border wall."

"Trump would try to finish the wall and deploy the US military to turn the border into a kind of demarcation line."

"I will end the illegal immigration by closing our border and finishing the wall, most of which I've already built."

"No, only Congress can suspend habeas corpus."

"Habeas corpus can only be suspended under the Constitution in times of invasion or insurrection. None of that is happening now."

"This is a really important question, and the answer is a categorical no."

"We are going to suspend the writ of habeas corpus if the courts keep ruling against this [Trump's mass deportations]."

"I can assure you that the president and the entire administration are certainly open to all legal and constitutional remedies [including pausing the writ of habeas corpus] to ensure we can continue with the promise of deporting illegal criminals from our nation's borders."

"I would say that's [suspending the writ of habeas corpus] an option we're actively looking at."

Barger opposed the declaration, arguing that emergency powers should be reserved for life-threatening crises rather than complex policy issues. In a statement to Fox News, ICE said that the "only state of emergency is the one the residents of Los Angeles face after electing officials who give a middle finger to the law.”

LA County's emergency declaration is a courageous stand against a heartless federal assault on vulnerable families. Over 5,000 arrests in August alone have created a reign of terror, forcing families into hiding and canceling community events. This bold action unlocks vital resources for rent relief and legal aid to protect residents from a man-made crisis.

Woke politicians are giving the middle finger to federal law by declaring an emergency over legitimate immigration enforcement. ICE removed gang members, child predators and murderers from LA communities between June and August. This reckless proclamation aids lawbreakers while burdening taxpayers with benefits for illegal immigrants.
