JD Vance goes ballistic on ‘bull****’ journalist critical of Trump’s plans to deport millions

By CHARLIE SPIERING, SENIOR POLITICAL REPORTER, WASHINGTON, DC

Published: | Updated:

Vice President JD Vance issued a staunch defense of President Donald Trump‘s deportation strategy as he lambasted ‘bulls*** arguments’ from those demanding due process for illegal immigrants.

Vance kicked off a discussion on social media about deportations, noting that former President Joe Biden allowed ‘approximately 20 million illegal aliens‘ into the United States during his four years as president.

He argued that providing due process and legal proceedings for every illegal immigrant deported would only slow down Trump’s attempt to fix the problem.

‘The American people elected the Trump administration to solve this problem. The President has successfully stopped the inflow of illegal aliens, and now we must deport the people who came here illegally,’ he wrote.

Vance argued that Democrats and ‘people weeping over the lack of due process’ had no solution to the problem of massive illegal immigration, citing the need for drastic action to ‘deport at least a few million people per year.’

The system was ‘overwhelmed’ he argued, forcing the need for widespread immigration enforcement that he acknowledged would have errors.

‘What I am OK with is the reality that any human system will produce errors. Further, I accept the actual tradeoff: between not enforcing the law and enforcing the law. And I choose the latter despite the inevitable errors,’ he concluded.

Vance grew frustrated by journalists on social media who suggested he was misleading people by arguing against court proceedings for deportees.

‘I’m sick of abstract bulls*** arguments,’ Vance fired back at reporter and documentary filmmaker Leighton Woodhouse on Wednesday morning. ‘What your proposal does, whether you know it or not, is ratify the presence of millions of illegals aliens in our country. I reject that.’

Vance commented as Democrats and the establishment media spent the week focusing on the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, 29, who was living in Maryland after arriving to the United States illegally from El Salvador.

He was sent back to El Salvador by the Trump administration in March even though he had been granted legal protection from deportation by an immigration judge in 2019.

The Trump administration deported Garcia to a prison in El Salvador on the grounds that he was accused by a police informant of being a member of the gang MS-13.

The Supreme Court ruled in April in a 9-0 decision that the United States government had to ‘facilitate’ Garcia’s release from custody, as he was ‘improperly’ sent to El Salvador.

The White House contends that Garcia is no longer in their custody and so there is nothing that can be done to facilitate his release.

‘That’s up to El Salvador if they want to return him,’ Attorney General Pam Bondi said at the White House on Monday. ‘That’s not up to us. The Supreme Court ruled that if El Salvador wants to return him … we would facilitate it: meaning, provide a plane.’

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said Monday at the White House he had no intention of returning Garcia. 

‘The question is preposterous. How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States?’ Bukele said, referring to accusations that Garcia is a member of the gang MS-13.

The battle between Democrats and Republicans has consumed the administration as they struggle to defend their decision to deport Garcia. 

Vance’s comments solidified the president’s position on the issue as Democrats continue highlighting Garcia’s case as an example of the Trump administration shredding due process for illegal immigrants. 

Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland announced Wednesday that he was leaving on a plane for El Salvador to advocate for Garcia’s release. 

‘We are going to keep fighting to bring Abrego Garcia home until he returns to his family,’ Van Hollen said.
