1. General Jean Kahwaji:

   We raid, and we look for weapons in the camps, but we don't know the people and this is what makes the danger from them great. Yes, the refugee camps cause us a headache because they are not controlled, they must be under the authority of the state and be open, and when the state wants to enter ... they must be cooperative. We are not against people. We welcomed them and I have a humanitarian conviction that they must be helped and (allowed) to live, but not to affect our security.

2. Edward J. Burns:

   This was supposed to be a cooperative process, not an adversarial one, but the abrupt cutting off of this process through this raid was a direct affront to this necessary notion of cooperation.

3. Jaime Ortiz de Lazcano:

   I was very surprised when they told me 'Father, go to the court because there's going to be a raid,' it's not common that (prosecutors) solicit information from a canonical investigation, but we are entirely willing to cooperate.

4. Donald Trump:

   Nothing like this has ever happened to a president of the United States before, after working and cooperating with the relevant government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate.

5. Michael Bennet:

   President Trump's selfish decision to raid military construction funding is a new low in his ridiculous pursuit of a campaign promise. These projects, including the Space Control Facility at Peterson Air Force Base, were identified by the Department of Defense and the Trump Administration as critical to our military readiness. Taking money from operational priorities to pay for a wasteful and ineffective wall is grossly irresponsible and undermines our national security.
