Former federal prosecutor Jim Trusty discussed with NTD's Steve Lance the Trump administration adding a new assistant general position to investigate fraud, who will answer directly to the White House.

Trusty also discussed the fallout between President Donald Trump and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who has said he will not "enforce federal immigration laws." Trusty also spoke on the minimal level of cooperation local leaders should give federal agents, which includes the names of the people already in the criminal justice system—a move many Democratic state officials recognize in the interests of their constituents.

Trusty discussed the interest of Americans to vet immigrants, how the idea of citizenship affects the safety, tax base, the sense of community, and the authority of ICE to arrest illegal immigrants.
