Fox News’ resident leftist Jessica Tarlov has once again embarrassed herself, this time rushing to defend an illegal alien on social media before being forced to delete her tweet in disgrace.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that D.C. police tackled an illegal alien on the National Mall after he tried to flee. Video captured him shouting in Spanish, “Please! I’m not a criminal. I work here! I want to be with my family!”
Without missing a beat, Tarlov rushed to X to blast Trump’s law-and-order approach. She wrote:
“This doesn’t make D.C. safer. It’ll just make people not come to D.C. The cruelty is always the point.”
But what Tarlov conveniently left out or didn’t bother to check was the criminal record of the man she was defending.
Her virtue-signaling collapsed within hours when White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller dropped the receipts.
“Why are you defending a criminal illegal alien invader charged with sexually assaulting a child?” Miller wrote on X.
According to DHS, the illegal alien from Mexico was arrested in January 2024 in Fairfax County for aggravated sexual assault of a child under 13. He had a final order of removal, had already “voluntarily returned” twice, and had entered the U.S. illegally three times.
That’s who Jessica Tarlov was standing up for.

Homeland Security @DHSgov This illegal alien from Mexico was previously arrested in January 2024 in Fairfax County for aggravated sexual assault of a child under 13.
He entered and had a final order of removal and chose to voluntary return- twice. Illegally entered 3 times.
Thank you to law enforcement for getting him off of Washington DC’s streets. 5:26 PM · Aug 20, 2025 · 319.4K Views

After getting called out, Tarlov scrambled to save face, backpedaling with this pathetic excuse:
“I didn’t know he was – the DHS memo on him came out hours after the video. Wouldn’t ever defend such a person! Hopefully you guys will only go after these types versus hardworking folks that have committed no crimes! Will delete my original tweet,” Tarlov wrote.
She later tried to spin her embarrassment again:
“For those of you who think that I quietly deleted my tweet, see below. When you’re trying to be quiet you don’t reply to Stephen Miller. I wouldn’t ever want to promote knowingly wrong information so I deleted the original tweet after the DHS memo came out – which was hours after the arrest.”
She has kids???
Oh, Cathy Areu. O’Reilly used to have her on a lot.
Happy birthday, Mr. Miller!
God bless your and yours!
