Raw Story - 'Want to die on this hill?' CNN gets heated as Republican decries 'political malpractice'

CNN conservative Scott Jennings led a spirited defense of the Trump administration’s refusal to make any efforts to return the Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador– before bashing a Democratic effort to retrieve Kilmar Abrego Garcia themselves.

Jennings, during a CNN panel discussion on Tuesday, insisted that Garcia received appropriate due process and that there was “no future where he, as an illegal immigrant with an existing deportation order, finishes out living a happy life in the United States.”

“They believe they're on the right side of immigration law, and they believe they're on the right side politically,” Jennings, a CNN regular, said of the Trump administration.

But Jennings quickly found himself taking heat for his position after CNN’s Kasie Hunt questioned him about President Donald Trump raising the possibility that “homegrown” criminals could soon face overseas deportation.
