On Wednesday night, Fox News’ Tucker Carlson showed exclusive footage of New York police expressing their frustration over secret flights carrying illegal immigrants from the southern border to towns in their state. Carlson also showed footage of a government contractor being asked the reason for the secrecy and answering, “You know why. Look who’s in charge,” then asserting, “The government is betraying the American people.

Carlson began, “So we’ve obtained exclusive bodycam footage from the police department in Westchester County, New York. The footage shows 100 apparently illegal immigrants, mostly teenagers, getting off a charter flight in the middle of the night in Westchester. The migrants then get on buses.  Someone on the tape describes how ‘DHS wants this on the low-down.’ In other words, secret, so you won’t know about it, despite the fact that you are a U.S. citizen who’s paying for it. They’re hiding it from you; they’re doing this without your consent, speaking of an attack on democracy…”

Carlson then played footage of a government contractor explaining that the flights of illegal immigrants arrived at smaller airports to keep them hidden from the public. The contractor stated, “You don’t want to be in somewhere the spotlight is there. You want to be as down-low as possible. … A lot of this is just down-low stuff that we don’t tell people because what we don’t want to do is attract attention; we don’t want the media. Like, we don’t even know where we’re going when they tell us…”

Rob Astorino, a Westchester County executive who is running for governor of New York and obtained the bodycam footage through a FOIA request, told Carlson. “I saw with my own eyes, after they denied it, by the way, that they were put onto a bus to Costco and then released into cars into the community. Now they keep saying it’s just unaccompanied kids: completely a lie. And that these kids were not going to go into our own area. Completely a lie. They’re putting them into schools in Westchester, long Island, surrounding suburbs.”
