Bo Dietl, former New York City Police Department detective, blasted Sen. Chuck Schumer for his criticism of President Donald Trump's refugee ban.
"I didn't see Sen. Schumer crying on 9/11," Dietl said Monday during an appearance on Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program.
Schumer on Saturday slammed Trump's executive order and called on him to rescind it and became emotional during his speech.
"What if one of these illegal immigrants hit your daughter or son, or killed them in a car, a drunken car accident, and kill them? Dietl told Fox News.
"What are we supposed to do? This mayor, big bird de Blasio comes out and says we shouldn't deport them because they are the bread winner of the family. What about the kid who died by illegal immigrant? This is getting so ridiculous.
"The problem here is that I think it should be expanded, not just to those six or seven countries," Dietl said, adding that security against terror attacks needs to be increased and "that's what President Trump is doing."
"Security is intelligence. We have to avert any kind of an attack… This is a security ban, and it should be thought of that way," Dietl said.
Dietl, a Trump supporter and conservative commentator, announced on Jan. 2 that he would run for mayor of New York City.
