They warned it could lead to mistrust between police and the Latino community.

For us to be successful in this effort, we need to gather as much intelligence as we can.

One of the things that we are tasked with is making sure that it is not used in a criminal way by people who would perpetrate frauds, or by terrorists who would use it to spread their ideology and potentially radicalize people, or in an…

The Department remains committed to the promises that I made to this subcommittee and to the American people.

the giving of Miranda warnings has not deterred people from talking to us.

I made a commitment to make decisions based on the facts and the law, regardless of politics.

The notion that people could bring guns to airports... is one that, to me, is very worrisome.

The Department's request for fiscal year 2011 seeks really significant resources to combat violence along the Southwest border.

People who put their life on the line in order to protect the rest of us are owed a special obligation.

We have to respect the Supreme Court's decision in that regard.

The 9th Circuit does present unique problems, both in its geographic size and the workload that it has.

There is not a distinct advantage that people get if they are in the Article III courts.

I think that mentoring, especially of young men, is a critical thing in our successful crime fighting efforts.

I am never satisfied, even with an operation like this one, which I think we all have to understand was successful.
