I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up.
Your 70% number is just a fabrication.
And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.

This is a deeply unprofessional and illegal partisan statement from the Trump hack who's currently director of the CIA.
It's also deeply dishonest, because the decision to grant the shooter asylum here was made by the Trump administration.

2. Outside of prestige media (NYT politics beat etc) we're not like this.
And I think these fundamentally misunderstand the public.
