You Trigger My Gag Reflex': GOP Senator And Witness Throw Down Over Trump's Mass Deportations
"On December the 31st of 2025, you posted in front of God and country, you said quote, They referring to Republicans think they can troll their way into us accepting ethnic cleansing. Your words, not mine. Did I read that correctly? Bier hit back, That was in regard to a Department of Homeland Security post advocating 100 million deportations. That is what DHS tweeted from their own account. A hundred million deportations would be ethnic cleansing."
"On February the 11th, 2026, you posted on Bluesky. My words or your words, not mine. The Democrats' video telling service members to ignore illegal orders didn't go far enough. They should have also urged them to refuse unethical orders, whether illegal or not. There are many things deemed legal that are still obviously unethical, and everyone should hold themselves to this higher law."
During a Senate Budget Committee hearing, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) confronted David Bier, Director of Immigration Studies at the CATO Institute, about statements Bier made on social media regarding sanctuary cities and immigration policy. Kennedy cited specific posts from Bier's Bluesky account, including comments characterizing proposed mass deportations as ethnic cleansing and statements urging military members to refuse unethical orders. Bier defended his characterization of 100 million deportations as ethnic cleansing, arguing it would remove one-third of the country's population. Kennedy questioned whether Bier's language was hyperbolic and undermined his credibility, while Bier maintained his positions were justified responses to specific Department of Homeland Security proposals.
