00:00Is the president going to ask for him to be returned to the United States or not?

00:05Yes or no?

00:06First of all, it's not a question for me to answer.

00:09But I think that the assumption that underlies the question is what needs to be corrected,

00:13which is that there was no mistake that was made.

00:17He was sent.

00:18Let me ask you, what do you think would happen to him if he came back to this country?

00:22As your understanding of immigration laws, what do you think would happen?

00:24But I'm just asking at this point about whether or not the president plans to ask him.

00:30You're asking a lot of questions about this, and you all seem to care about it a lot.

00:32So let's see if any of you have researched anything about this issue at all.

00:36Can anyone here tell me what would happen to the illegal alien from El Salvador if he came back to the United States?

00:41Does anyone here know?

00:43Does anyone want to guess?

00:44Any of you?

00:45He could be with his family.

00:46What?

00:47Does any of you know the answer to the question?

00:49Legally, what would happen if he came back here?

00:51Does any of you know?

00:52Any of you?

00:53Do you really believe the Supreme Court?

00:54I'm talking now.

00:55Do you really believe the Supreme Court doesn't think he should be returned?

00:59Why was it unanimous?

01:00You're done.

01:00Does any of you know the answer to the question?

01:04Does any of you?

01:04You've been talking about it for days.

01:05I'm just going to end it all with deporting again now.

01:07He would be arrested.

01:09He'd be put in confinement.

01:11He would be deported a second time to El Salvador again because there's no withholding order

01:16for an alien who's a member of a foreign terrorist organization, number one.

01:20Number two is the gang that he's a member of doesn't exist in El Salvador anymore.

01:25So what you're asking for is to be deported twice.

01:27But additionally, if we chose to pretend, just pretend that the withholding order was real,

01:34he would be deported to a different country.

01:36So, for example, he could be deported to Egypt.

01:42So I'm just trying to understand, is it your view, in other words, you have to find a country

01:46that would be willing to take a MS-13 member from El Salvador.

01:51So I'm trying to understand from you all this.

01:53So if he came back and under our laws he was then deported to Egypt or to Somalia,

01:59would you then be saying, great, I'm so glad that you deported him to another country?

02:02Is that what you'd all be saying?

02:03Do you understand our immigration laws at all?

02:07But the premise of your question, the gentleman, the return, guys,

02:13do you know the difference between a deportation order and a withholding order?

02:17Do you know the difference?

02:18Any of you, please, do you?

02:22Well, we're not in the government.

02:23So you couldn't even spend 72 hours over the weekend learning the distinction

02:29even though you've been writing and talking about it this whole time?

02:31Stephen, we're not going anywhere on the gold cards.

02:34Just raise your hand.

02:35Does any of you know the difference between a deportation order and a withholding?
