"Alright Marie, I'm coming to you on this. I thought you were looking right at me. I want your take, because when I saw this, the way I translated it was LA Mayor Karen Bass is saying that if you're Hispanic and you join Border Patrol or ICE, that maybe you hate yourself or maybe you're just broke. And I don't think either is a real compliment to the Hispanic community, but I gotta get your take on this one, said Lahren."
"I would certainly not have worded it like she did. I was reading some interesting stories this morning about all the Hispanic Americans who voted for Trump, which we know a lot, you know, had voted for Democrats before, particularly in places like Texas, voted for Donald Trump. And there are a number of stories where they are saying they are horrified at seeing who ICE is going after, right? replied Harf."
"We know 700, or excuse me, 75,000 as of October, people that have been rounded up by ICE have not been accused or charged with a crime. But I remember before the election when everyone said, He's going to go after the worst of the worst. Murderers, rapists.' That's not what's happening. They're going into a lot of primarily Hispanic communities, rounding up people, elderly people, young kids who've been here, you know,"
Marie Harf and Kaylee McGhee White debated President Trump's deportation efforts after a clip of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass commenting on Hispanic Border Patrol recruits. Harf criticized the Trump administration's enforcement, citing stories of Hispanic Trump voters shocked by ICE targets and noting that approximately 75,000 people rounded up by ICE as of October had not been accused or charged with a crime. Harf described raids reaching primarily Hispanic communities, including elderly residents and children, and referenced instances of American citizens mistakenly detained, raising concerns among supporters and critics alike.
