White House adviser Stephen Miller got heated with Fox News host Bill Hemmer during an appearance on the network.
The adviser said President Donald Trump’s administration’s deportation agenda was supported by the Supreme Court, but the host insisted that it was not.
Hemmer said that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the alleged MS-13 gang member who was sent back to his home nation of El Salvador, was “mistakenly” deported which triggered Miller into hitting back.
“I want to correct that. I hate to do it, Bill. I have to correct you on everything you said. It was all wrong,” the advisor said.
“First, we won the Supreme Court case, clearly, 9-0. A District Court judge said unconscionably the president and his administration have to go into El Salvador and extradite one of their citizens. That would be kidnapping. We have to kidnap an El Salvador citizen against the will of his government and fly him back to America. An unimaginable invasion of El Salvador,” he said.
“We appealed to the Supreme Court and said clearly no District Court can compel the president to exercise his Article II foreign powers in any way whatsoever. DOJ called me after the Supreme Court ruling and said: ‘It is amazing we won the case 9-0, we are in excellent standing here,’” Miller said.
“It has been portrayed wrong for 72-hours in the media. They said the most a court can ever compel you to do is facilitate return, which means if El Salvador voluntarily sends him back we wouldn’t block him in the airport, we would put him back in ICE detention and then he would be deported back to El Salvador or somewhere else. The Supreme Court said that’s the most the government can be expected to do. So, we won the case. The misreporting on this has been atrocious,” he said.
WATCH:
“He was not mistakenly sent to El Salvador. He was an illegal alien from El Salvador. In 2019 he was ordered deported. He has a final removal order from the United States. These are things that no one disputes. Where is he from? El Salvador. A resident and citizen of? El Salvador. Is he here illegally? Yes. Does he have a deportation order? Yes,” the advisor said.
“A DOJ Lawyer who has been relieved of duty, a saboteur, a Democrat put into a filing, incorrectly, that this was a mistaken removal. It was not. It was the right person sent to the right place,” he said.
