ABC Host’s Immigration Spin Doesn’t Stand A Chance Against DHS Official: ‘I Can Do This All Day, Jay’

[Conservative Angle]

​

Democrats and mainstream media personalities alike have seized on the case of an El Salvadoran citizen removed from the U.S. as supposed evidence that President Donald Trump’s hardline immigration policies are objectionable.

When ABC News host Jay O’Brien pursued that line of questioning with guest Tricia McLaughlin, however, the Department of Homeland Security official made quick work of his argument.

As the Daily Caller reported:

“I think what really matters to Americans is that this MS-13 gang member who, unfortunately, Jay, you and a lot of your colleagues have called ‘a Maryland man,’ when, in reality, he is a MS-13 gang member,” McLaughlin said before O’Brien interrupted her, demanding proof that he’s MS-13.

“There’s actually two separate immigration judges, Jay, who have confirmed and ruled that he is a member of MS-13,” McLaughlin told O’Brien.

President Donald Trump issued several executive orders to address illegal immigration and border security, including designating Mexican drug cartels, the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) and MS-13 as foreign terrorist organizations upon taking office Jan. 20. He invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to speed up the deportation of gang members on March 15.

“I can do this all day, Jay,” McLaughlin said after additional back-and-forth with O’Brien. “He is a member of MS-13. I don’t think you’d want to be his neighbor. I sure wouldn’t, and I don’t think many Americans watching would want to be this individual’s neighbor. He has been involved in human trafficking. He’s been involved in labor trafficking, and he should not be in this country.”

An array of other pro-Trump voices have been speaking out against the left’s talking points in recent days:

Incredible how Democrats will travel to El Salvador to demand the release of a member of MS13, but they won’t go to GAZA to demand HAMAS release innocent American hostages.

Democrats love criminals and terrorists.

Speaks volumes, doesn’t it?

This is not a “Maryland man” this is an illegal alien from El Salvador whom two judges have ruled is part of MS-13, a foreign terrorist organization.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration’s deportation process continues to move forward, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently confirmed.

As The Hill reported earlier this week:

“Last night, another 10 criminals from the MS-13 and Tren de Aragua Foreign Terrorist Organizations arrived in El Salvador. The alliance between @POTUS and President @nayibbukele has become an example for security and prosperity in our hemisphere,” Rubio said in a post on the social platform X.

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele is going to the White House on Monday for an “official working visit,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt previously said. In the first few months of the second Trump presidency, the United States has sent deported migrants they have said are gang members to a large prison in El Salvador.

“Looking forward to seeing President Bukele, of El Salvador, on Monday! Our Nations are working closely together to eradicate terrorist organizations, and build a future of Prosperity. President Bukele has graciously accepted into his Nation’s custody some of the most violent alien enemies of the World and, in particular, the United States,” President Trump said in a Truth Social post on Saturday.

Here’s how Trump and Bukele addressed the situation during a recent White House meeting:
