About this listen
President Donald Trump sat for a wide-ranging interview with Kristen Welker from Meet the Press last Sunday. The only headline to emerge, and it was everywhere: “Trump Says ‘I Don’t Know’ When Asked About Due Process and Upholding Constitution.” That was the New York Times. Versions of that were reposted everywhere.
The answer was about criminal illegal immigrants in America; Welker specifically named Kilmar Abrego Garcia. What the media did not report was that Donald Trump also said: “I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said.” That, of course, would not be a headline—Try to imagine: “Trump says he’ll follow the Supreme Court.”
Trump was addressing what due process rights illegal aliens should receive; we’re talking rapists, murderers, batterers and gang members. Are they the same as American citizens? Of course not—and as for Garcia, he’s had several hearings already. I, for one, am glad he’s in his home country, and not here.
