Alejandro Mayorkas actually said...

"I believe it is imperative that we cooperate with one another, jurisdictions cooperate with us, when it serves the public safety need."

"I do not consider it in the service of public safety to release an individual into the community when that individual can be released to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for prompt removal."

"I feel strongly about this. This is a tool that I have at my disposal."

"I do not believe that individual should be released into the community."
