Ana Navarro tried to turn Trump’s 60 Minutes line about being “too tough” on immigration into a trap for Sarah Huckabee Sanders on The View. Sanders wasn’t having it: “You’re not going to twist my words around.” Then she named Jennifer Ann Morton — the Arkansas Children’s Hospital respiratory therapist killed September 8, 2024 by a drunk driver who had been deported in 2018. He was sentenced to 25 years.
Sunny Hostin claimed 97% of the people Trump deported “did nothing criminal.” The record says otherwise. Illegal entry is a federal crime (8 U.S.C. 1325), and reentry after deportation is a felony (8 U.S.C. 1326). Even the Migration Policy Institute’s October 2026 fact sheet counts 190,000 deportees with criminal convictions — one in five of about 980,000 deportations in Trump’s first 18 months — and 69% of those deportations were illegal immigrants stopped at the border. The top convictions: illegal entry or reentry, then traffic offenses including DUI. ICE’s own July 2026 detention report shows 36,556 of the 58,231 people held from ICE arrests were convicted criminals or facing criminal charges. CBP logged 8.7 million southwest border encounters across fiscal years 2021–2024. And in that same 60 Minutes interview, Trump said, “I got an A-plus for closing up the border.”
Was Navarro asking a real question, or reading half of Trump’s quote back to him? Tell me in the comments — and if you read this far, comment SAY HER NAME.
