“They have said they wanted all of these illegal aliens into their communities,” Gidley said on Fox News’ “Justice with Judge Jeanine.”

“We’re working with DHS, we’re working with ICE, to try and make sure that happens because after all, it’s what they want. They should not say ‘This is retribution politically,’ they should say, ‘This is an olive branch,'” he continued.

The Hill has reached out to DHS and ICE for comment.

Gidley also said President Trump is “looking at any and all options” to send undocumented immigrants to these communities.
