Pam Bondi melts down over questions about deportation of innocent men [View all]
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi briefly stopped to answer reporters’ questions outside of the White House on Tuesday, but she floundered then fled when challenged on the hundreds of immigrants the Trump administration shipped to a notorious prison in El Salvador.
When asked about the “60 Minutes” report revealing that 75% of the men illegally deported to the maximum security CECOT prison have no known criminal record, Bondi delivered a bizarre rant in response.
“Well, they’re not Venezuelan migrants. They're illegal aliens from Venezuela who should not have been in our country, who are committing the most violent crimes,” Bondi began. “So if you committed a murder in our country, we're going to keep you here and we're going to seek the death penalty, and we're going to keep you in prison because our victims’ families deserve that,” she said, contradicting the administration’s repeated claims of deporting only the most violent criminals.
“But we don't have to charge them with average crime,” Bondi added nonsensically. “We can deport them and get them out of our country and save room in our prisons, because they should have never been in our country to begin with.”
