Fox News host Jessica Tarlov threw down on Tuesday with co-host Jeanine Pirro over the deportation and indefinite imprisonment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia by the Trump administration, which the DOJ admitted was an “error.”
Pirro offered a fiery defense of the Trump administration’s actions and fumed at Democrats for not caring about murdered Americans like Rachel Morin. “Biden! And that’s the reason we’re in this mess in the first place. Start caring about American citizens!” Pirro raged.
“Jessica Tarlov,” said Jesse Watters, handing the conversation over the her.
“Senator, now I’m going to say Van Halen, because you did it, which makes him a little bit cooler. But he did speak about Rachel Morin and has since she was murdered. First and foremost, Abrego Garcia, there is no proof that he was an MS-13 member. And there, you know, it has been debunked many times. Yes, it has, it was!” Tarlov said as Pirro protested.
“It’s been debunked by liberal newspapers!” Pirro demanded.
“That’s not true! Stop!” Tarlov said as Pirro added, “Section I-113 or 123 is reliable, verifiable proof you were a member of the gang, and he was never able to rebut it.”
“It was based on double hearsay testimony and also a detective who was indicted merely weeks later for providing confidential information to a sex worker. He was also allegedly an alcoholic. That’s how we got into this,” Tarlov replied, adding:
But the point is that this man has been living in this country. Out in public, meeting on an annual basis with his DHS caseworker. He goes in once a year. He talks to them. They know where he works. He’s an on-the-books worker. This is not somebody who is a gang banger.
This is not someone who has committed any other crime besides being here in this country. And he came here also based on credible threat of being murdered by a gang at home who was threatening his entire family. The reason that Democrats are talking about the fact that anyone could quote unquote be disappeared is that you can see a full-blown constitutional crisis playing out in front of our eyes.
The Supreme Court ruled nine-zero that he had to be returned. President Bukele is lying when he says that he can’t get him back. We know that he returns people because he returned people from the original shipment. There were women that were sent there and he said, ‘Oh no, no, you shouldn’t be here.’
And there were some Venezuelans that he didn’t want. He said, ‘Okay, you should be here’ and he shipped them on back. They think that it’s funny getting that hot mic moment where Donald Trump and the El Salvadoran president are talking, they’re kind of loitering around at the front of the Oval Office where they’re joking about like, ‘Oh, wouldn’t it be great if you could take our homegrown ones.’
You cannot legally send Americans to an El Salvadoran prison camp no matter what they have done. Senator Kennedy was on our air earlier this afternoon with Sandra and John and said as much. No, one more thing to say. Actually multiple more things to say. But what is most important is that under the Alien Enemies Act, you deserve due process.
And that’s what the Supreme Court ruled. And if you go back to World War Two, when we were invoking this same act that people who were here undocumented from Japan, from Germany, from Italy, were allowed to go into a court where they could argue that they weren’t a danger to this nation. Abrego Garcia was not afforded that right. To come into court and to argue as to why he should not be deported.
“And it is not the same thing to deport someone to their home country as to send them to a prison. You know that!” Tarlov concluded, noting that many in the media refer to Abrego Garcia’s case as merely a deportation and not an indefinite imprisonment without any due process.
