TRAGEDY: Fatal crash sparks new FIGHT over sanctuary policies

. BACK TO YOU. ♪ ♪. >> Benjamin: A NEW JERSEY MAYOR. IS CALLING FOR THE STATE TO ROLL. BACK ITS SANCTUARY STYLE. IMMIGRATION POLICIES AFTER A. NINE MONTH OLD BOY WAS KILLED IN. A CRASH, ALLEGEDLY CAUSED BY AN. UNLICENSED GUATEMALAN ILLEGAL. IMMIGRANT. JACKSON TOWNSHIP MAYOR JENNIFER. COON SAYS POLICE SHOULD BE. ALLOWED TO CONTACT ICE WHEN THEY. ENCOUNTER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. LET'S BRING IN FORMER FEDERAL. PROSECUTOR AND FORMER ACTING ICE.

DIRECTOR JONATHAN FAHEY. JONATHAN, THANKS SO MUCH FOR. JOINING US TODAY. WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT. I THINK A SIMPLE QUESTION FIRST. OF ALL, DHS SAID THIS WOMAN HAD. ALREADY BEEN ORDERED REMOVED BY. IMMIGRATION JUDGE. SO HOW IS SHE STILL IN THE. COUNTRY WEEKS LATER? >> A LOT OF TIMES WITH THESE. REMOVALS, A JUDGE WILL ORDER. SOMEONE REMOVED. IN ORDER TO SELF-DEPORT AFTER. THE ORDER, THEY'RE ALLOWED TO. SORT OF GET THEIR PERSONAL. EFFECTS IN ORDER AND THINGS OF. THAT NATURE. SO IT REALLY DOES SHOW HOW WHOLE. IMMIGRATION SYSTEM WE NEED TO.

REALLY CRACK DOWN ON THIS, BECAUSE YOU NEED TO GET REMOVED. REALLY, THIS POLICY BEHIND WHAT. HAPPENED HERE, ONE WAS A BIDEN. OPEN BORDER POLICY THAT BROUGHT. THESE TWO PEOPLE IN SORT OF THIS. REVOLVING DOOR OPEN BORDER. POLICY. BUT REALLY IMPORTANTLY, WHAT. THIS POINTED OUT IS THE. SANCTUARY STATE POLICY OF NEW. JERSEY, WHERE THEY PUT ILLEGAL. ALIENS AHEAD OF THE CITIZENS OF. NEW JERSEY AND RECEIVED THIS. NATIONWIDE, AND THIS IS ANOTHER.

DEATH THAT WAS ENTIRELY. PREVENTABLE, AND WHAT MAKES IT. EVEN WORSE NEW JERSEY RIGHT NOW. WILL NOT TURN THESE TWO OVER TO. ICE AT THE END, IF THEY'RE. CONVICTED AT THE END OF THEIR. SENTENCE, BECAUSE THEY STILL. WILL TURN IT BACK ON THE STREETS. OF NEW JERSEY. IT'S REALLY INSANE, AND IT PUTS. THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY. SECRETARY TO THESE POLITICAL. INTERESTS. >> Benjamin: AND THERE'S. ANOTHER EXAMPLE WE'RE WATCHING. AT THE MOMENT. THAT SAYS SHE'LL ENTRY ICE. POLICY HAMMERED AFTER FLEEING.

MIGRANT DRIVER STEM MAYOR'S WIFE. AND IT'S ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WHO. FLED ICE AGENTS CRASHED INTO. DEMOCRATIC MAYOR'S WIFE ON A NEW. JERSEY HIGHWAY THAT REIGNITED. THE SANCTUARY STATE DEBATE, AND. I THINK AT THE CENTER OF THIS. DEBATE IS NEW JERSEY'S IMMIGRANT. TRUST DIRECTIVE. EXPLAIN THAT AND EFFECTIVELY, DOES IT MEAN THAT IF OFFICERS. PULL SOMEONE OVER UNDER. UNDOCUMENTED, THEY CAN'T JUST. CALL ICE? IT SEEMS BAFFLING TO ME. >> ALL RIGHT, AND THIS IS. SOMETHING THAT WAS CODIFIED INTO. LAW, I BELIEVE, EARLIER THIS. YEAR, GOVERNOR MIKIE SHERRILL.

BASICALLY, I CAN'T COOPERATE. I MEAN, THE LOCAL LAW. ENFORCEMENT CAN'T COOPERATE WITH. ICE. THEY CAN PROVIDE INFORMATION. THEY CAN ASK. THEY CAN'T PROVIDE DATA AND. THINGS OF THAT NATURE. SO NOT ONLY ARE THE IMMIGRATION. FRONT, BUT REALLY ON THE PUBLIC. SAFETY FRONT, IF LAW ENFORCEMENT. IS ABLE TO COORDINATE, WE'RE. GOING TO HAVE MORE TRAGEDIES. BECAUSE WHEN THEY SHARE. INFORMATION, THEY CAN USE THAT. TO KEEP US ALL SAFER. IT JUST SHOWS HOW ANTI-ICE AND. PRO ILLEGAL ALIEN NEW JERSEY IS, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S SO.

INTERESTING, NEW JERSEY, THEY. PROVIDE $20 MILLION, I BELIEVE, A YEAR TO DEFEND ILLEGAL ALIENS, TO HELP THEM STAY IN THE COUNTRY. WHEN ICE IS TRYING TO DEPORT. THEM. IT IS SO BACKWARDS. AND THIS IS A GOVERNOR. MICHAEL MIKEY, SHARED THAT HER. THAT SHE RAN AS A MODERATE BUT. HAS BEEN A TOTAL RADICAL ON. ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. AND IT MUST BE THAT SHE BELIEVES. IT'S IN HER POLITICAL INTEREST, SHE'S CALLED ICE AGENT ACCUSED. HIM OF TERRORIZING THE. COMMUNITIES AND THINGS OF THAT.

NATURE AND ALL THE WHILE, SHE'S. IGNORING THE SAFETY AND THE. WELL-BEING OF NEW JERSEY. RESIDENTS AND IT'S REALLY. INSANE. I APPLAUD THIS MAYOR FOR. STANDING UP TO IT BECAUSE MAYBE. THEY CAN PREVENT THE NEXT. TRAGEDY. BUT SADLY, I DON'T THINK THEY. WILL BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A. POLITICAL WINNER FOR DEMOCRATS. TO FIGHT ICE AND SUPPORT ILLEGAL. ALIENS. THEY'LL CONTINUE TO DO SO AT THE. EXPENSE OF AMERICAN CITIZENS. >> Benjamin: YEAH, AND YOU TALK. ABOUT THIS TRAGEDY, I CAN'T HELP. BUT THINK THIS IS A NINE MONTH. OLD CHILD WHO WAS KILLED, WHICH.

IS JUST HEART WRENCHING. WHAT STEPS NEED TO BE TAKEN? LET'S SAY YOU WERE IN CONTROL. RIGHT NOW. WHAT NEEDS TO CHANGE? AND HOW SHOULD IT CHANGE? WELL, WHAT ICE NEEDS TO DO IS GO. AGGRESSIVE AGAINST THESE. SANCTUARY CITIES AND SANCTUARY. STATES THAT ARE ESSENTIALLY IN. EFFECT, HARBORING ILLEGAL. ALIENS. SO THEY NEED MORE ENFORCEMENT ON. EVERY PLACE THAT'S ESSENTIALLY. MAKING IT HARDER FOR ICE PICK UP. WE NEED MORE ICE IN THESE AREAS. SO THAT NOBODY IS LET OUT OF A. JAIL. BACK IN THE COMMUNITY, WHETHER. IT'S OR NOT -- ICE AGENTS.

OUTSIDE OF JAILS. SO EVERYONE THAT'S GETTING. RELEASED CAN GET SCOOPED UP AND. PUT INTO ICE CUSTODY. MORE WILL BE DONE, AND THE TRUMP. ADMINISTRATION IS DOING A GREAT. JOB OF TAKING THE FIGHT TO THEM. >> Benjamin: YEAH, AND IF YOU. CAN STOP ALL THESE TRAGEDIES, THERE HAS TO BE A.
