CNN host Abby Phillip clashed with conservative commentator Scott Jennings in a heated debate over due process for illegal immigrants. The argument erupted when Jennings defended President Trump’s aggressive deportation of violent gang members, while Phillip insisted even criminals here illegally deserve full legal rights. The tense exchange highlighted growing frustrations over America’s border crisis.
Jennings called out the radical left for putting illegal immigrants’ rights above citizen safety. He stressed that gang members like Tren de Aragua — known for murders and rapes — don’t deserve the same protections as Americans. “These are terrorists who crossed our borders illegally,” Jennings said. Phillip repeatedly interrupted, demanding he respect “basic civics” and due process laws.
The CNN host accused Jennings of undermining the Constitution by suggesting different rules for non-citizens. But Jennings fired back, asking why liberals fight harder for violent migrants than for law-abiding taxpayers. “The government will eventually prove their crimes, but we shouldn’t wait while they terrorize our communities,” he argued. The clash showed how out-of-touch media elites are with everyday Americans’ safety concerns.
This isn’t the first time Phillip has downplayed threats from illegal immigrants. Earlier this year, she defended a Palestinian activist arrested for leading anti-Semitic campus protests. Jennings reminded viewers that this activist’s group openly seeks to “eradicate Western civilization.” Yet Phillip dismissed these dangers as mere “opinions,” refusing to admit some ideologies threaten national security.
Conservatives praised Jennings for standing up to CNN’s biased narrative. Commentator Dave Rubin blasted Phillip for lecturing Jennings like a “child” instead of addressing the chaos at the border. Rubin noted that paid leftist activists are vandalizing Tesla stores and harassing customers, yet Democrats ignore this real violence to protect illegal criminals.
The Tren de Aragua gang exemplifies why Trump’s tough approach is needed. These Venezuelan criminals have brought beheadings, sex trafficking, and drug wars to American cities. Letting them stay while awaiting trials endangers families and drains taxpayer resources. Jennings rightly asked why Democrats prioritize foreign lawbreakers over U.S. citizens.
Phillip’s performative outrage reveals the left’s true agenda: open borders and weakened sovereignty. By obsessing over “rights” for violent illegals, CNN undermines the rule of law. Meanwhile, communities face skyrocketing crime as fentanyl floods streets and gangs recruit freely. Trump’s policies aim to restore order, while Democrats enable chaos.
This debate proves elections have consequences. November’s vote is a choice between Trump’s deportation force or Biden’s lawless borders. Conservatives must rally behind leaders who put America first, reject woke hypocrisy, and deport criminal invaders immediately. The future of our safety depends on it.
