Thank you for featuring this important story! When Lathan clutches his pearls about the way “we” should act in America, it’s outrageous. I guess he thinks we should just let criminals be, since attacking the problem with fully legal law enforcement risks upsetting the very criminals that richly deserve to be arrested. WOW. CNN tees it up for Scott Jennings every night and he knocks it out of the park with mere common sense and a steadfast courage to speak the truth. It makes the democrats on the panel look like idiots defending the indefensible!

When they came for Tren de Aragua, I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t Tren de Aragua. When they came for MS-13, I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t MS-13. When they came for me, the democrats and CNN spoke out but nobody listened because they had wasted all their credibility defending MS-13 and Tren de Aragua.

Shredding the Constitution, Lathan? 🙄 The Constitution is what governs America and its CITIZENS. Hate to break it to you, Lathan, but the Constitution, police procedures, etc. don’t apply to ILLEGALS. They are here illegally. The only rights they have are to be deported. Plain and simple.

Jennings was absolutely right to push back. The fact that this even turned into a debate shows how upside-down the priorities of our media have become. We’re talking about a violent transnational gang, not a neighborhood poker club. These people traffic humans, smuggle drugs, and terrorize entire communities. The feds finally do their job, and instead of relief that these predators are off the streets, we get lectures about “civil liberties” for the people harboring them.

Let’s be honest: every parent, every honest taxpayer, every family just trying to live in peace wants exactly what Jennings was calling for, safe neighborhoods, law and order, and accountability. The children in that building weren’t “traumatized by ICE.” They were already living under the constant threat of a gang that would use them as shields. The real cruelty is letting that continue in the name of politics.

If the Constitution means anything, it’s that law-abiding Americans have the right to live free from violence and fear. Jennings was defending that principle. The panelists were defending chaos.

While Scott Jennings is very good at what he does, whenever I see these CNN clips (it hurts to watch them), I can’t help but wonder why he is there / why CNN has him there? Also, the show reminds me a lot of professional wrestling, there’s something contrived and phony about it. Is it really worth the money, Scott?

If these leftists really care about these militant gang members, maybe they should invite them to hangout in their own million dollar gated communities !!!

Hypocrites, every last one of them.
