It isn’t often that you see Fox News host Bill Hemmer flustered. He’s a legacy news guy who says whatever he’s told to say, asks whatever he’s told to ask. Perhaps this is why he was so flustered by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.
In question was the widely disseminated false reporting about deported MS-13 gang member Kilmar Ábrego García. As Miller noted, reports in court documents filed by a former DOJ leftist are wrong.
Here’s the news according to X influencer Eric Daugherty:
BOOM! Top Trump advisor Stephen Miller just went BERSERK for 3 minutes straight on Fox over the media narrative that Trump must bring home Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador.
Miller perfectly debunked this ENTIRE claim that Garcia’s deportation was an “error.” This entire thing is a MASTERCLASS.
“We won the Supreme Court case. Clearly, 9-0, a district court judge said, unconscionably, that the president and his administration have to go into El Salvador and extradite one of their citizens, an El Salvadorian citizen – that would be kidnapping.”
“That we have to kidnap an El Salvadorian citizen against the will of his government and fly him back to America, which would be an unimaginable act and an invasion of El Salvador’s sovereignty. So he appealed to the Supreme Court and it said – clearly, no district court can compel the president to exercise his Article II foreign powers.”
“DOJ called me after that Supreme Court ruling and they said, this is amazing. We won this case nine zero. We are an excellent standing here. So this has been portrayed wrong for 72 hours in the media.”
“They said the most a court could ever compel you to do would be to facilitate return, which would basically mean if El Salvador voluntarily sends him back we wouldn’t block him at the airport. We would put him back into ICE detention and then he would be deported either back to El Salvador or somewhere else.”
“In 2019, he was ordered deported. He is a final removal order from the United States. These are things that no one disputes. Where is he from? El Salvador. Where is he a resident and citizen of? El Salvador. Is he here illegally? Yes. Does he have a deportation order? Yes.”
“A DOJ lawyer who has since been relieved of duty, a saboteur, a Democrat, put into a filing incorrectly that this was a mistaken and removal. It was NOT! This was the right person sent to the right place.”
“Now some have said, well, but he had a thing called a ‘withholding order.’ A withholding order means you’ve been ordered deported, but an immigration judge is saying you cannot go back to a particular country. Here’s the thing: if you are a member of a foreign terrorist organization, you cannot have a withholding order.”
“Since he’s in MS-13, there is no withholding order. Furthermore, that gang he is accused of being persecuted by doesn’t exist anymore in El Salvador! The 18th Street gang is GONE.”
“So you have an illegal alien from El Salvador. Bill, where are we supposed to send the illegal alien from El Salvador? To what country?”
HOST: Are you convinced he is still a member of MS-13? That was your original charge.
MILLER: “Yes. Do you stand by But here’s the thing, Bill. Yes, but not only am I convinced of it, not only is El Salvador convinced of it. Bill, he’s an illegal alien from El Salvador with a deportation order! So his only options in life, Bill, his only options in life are to be deported to El Salvador or to be deported to some other country. That’s IT.”
The Buts and what ifs people asked the question again at the White House Presser. Such a total waste of time for someone illegally in the USA!
Let move FORWARD.
garcia is an illegal, not a citizen of the United States. He has no rights here. The constitution does not apply to illegals.
Bill Hemmer is one big fluster. He thinks he is all that and then some.
