00:00You are fully in forebanned.

00:01Stephen, the lawyer for the school of U.S. citizen children who was deported,

00:05he said that once she was put on a plane within 24 hours after she was gone,

00:09isn't the case being rushed to avoid the process?

00:13To the cameras, please.

00:15Are you familiar with the case in question?

00:18To the extent that yes, I am.

00:19So this person has had years of due process.

00:23In other words, the case that you're referring to are individuals

00:25who have already received all of their due process,

00:31including a final adjudication of their claims

00:33and an order to be removed from the country.

00:35In other words, they've been in the system for years.

00:38We've been told for years that individuals who have been freed,

00:41so remember the Biden administration freed illegal aliens at the border

00:44and then instead created a system where they're supposed to go through

00:47what's called the non-detained docket.

00:49That's when your case is heard for relief while you are living free.

00:53We've been told for years and years and years,

00:55no, no, no, no, no, it's not catch and release.

00:58It's not catch and release.

00:59They're going to show up to get their hearings.

01:02They're going to show up to ICE.

01:03They're going to go through the process,

01:04and when they lose, they're going to go home.

01:06Well, we did the go home part.

01:08They lost the case.

01:09It's been fully adjudicated.

01:11They have a lawful removal order,

01:12and so they've been sent home.

01:14That's literally the process the previous guys told us

01:17and Congress that Mayorkas told Congress was going to happen,

01:21that when you lose the case, you go home.

01:23If people who lose their cases get to stay,

01:26that's not due process.

01:27That's just the complete suspension of all of our immigration laws and national sovereignty.

01:32And of course, by the way, we're going to respect parental rights.

01:35When you're deporting an illegal alien,

01:36and they want to bring their kids with them when they leave,

01:38of course we're not going to stand in the way of that.

01:40Now, I would say as a separate note, it's absurd as a country

01:43that we have a policy of declaring the children of illegal aliens to be automatic citizens.

01:47That hasn't even come up in this case

01:49because it's not relevant to the point that the mother wanted to bring her children with her.

01:54And of course, we will honor and respect that.
