Trump repeatedly insults CNN’s Kaitlan Collins in Oval Office over deportation of El Salvadoran national: ‘Why can’t you just say that?’

President Donald Trump repeatedly needled CNN and its primetime anchor Kaitlan Collins on Monday during an exchange in the Oval Office about deported El Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

President Trump took several shots at CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins as she peppered him with questions in the Oval Office Monday over the wrongful deportation of an El Salvadoran national who the US Supreme Court ruled should be returned to the United States for now.

Trump repeatedly needled Collins, who is also the network’s White House correspondent, including calling her a “low-rated anchor” and slamming CNN’s credibility as he took questions alongside El Salvador President Nayib Bukele.

Collins wanted answers about the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was removed to the Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT), the Central American country’s hellhole mega-prison, last month under the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act.

The Trump administration has claimed Abrego Garcia was a member of the violent MS-13 gang, but the US Supreme Court directed the White House to “facilitate” his release from the prison on April 10.

Higgins/The White House When Collins first prodded Trump about the issue, he pointed to CNN’s less-than-stellar ratings before passing the baton to Attorney General Pam Bondi to defend the deportation and subsequent actions.

Then Trump tapped homeland security adviser Stephen Miller to speak up while taking another shot at Collins’ employer.

“Can you just also respond to that question because you know it’s asked by CNN and they always ask it with a slant because...

Rachel Morin's mother left the press speechless.

I am enjoying Trump 2.0.

They have so many arrows in their quiver

And are holding their fire/information until the right moment.

The left is playing whack a mole and immediately taking the wrong side against

What’s with the “wrongful” wrong description. He was lawfully and appropriately deported to his beloved homeland. The Murdoch Post pretends to be on Trump’s side but they’re globalist POS. Like Fox News, they have a few good personalities but their news is still leftwing trash.

What is Abrego Kilmar Garcia’s actual immigration status? I know he came here illegally, but I’ve read that he was given a special status akin to asylum because of his claim of threats to his life in El Salvador.

Whatever status he/they/them had in the US, it changed for many on January 20, 2025..

Because of the votes on November 5 2024.

If he gets the keys to Collins’ house and permission to stay there I’m OK with it.

Me too. I had rather high expectations. And they are being exceeded.

Maryland man? Even the NY Post pushes this BS narrative.

I watched he didn’t insult her. He questioned why CNN does nothing but run our country down. The NYP is loaded with TDS Jerks

“What’s with the “wrongful” wrong description. He was lawfully and appropriately deported to his beloved homeland. “


SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 24A949
KRISTI NOEM, SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF
HOMELAND SECURITY, ET AL. v. KILMAR
ARMANDO ABREGO GARCIA, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION TO VACATE INJUNCTION ENTERED BY THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF
MARYLAND
[April 10, 2025]
On March 15, 2025, the United States removed Kilmar
Armando Abrego Garcia from the United States to El Sal-
vador, where he is currently detained in the Center for Ter-
rorism Confinement (CECOT). The United States acknowl-
edges that Abrego Garcia was subject to a withholding
order forbidding his removal to El Salvador, and that the
removal to El Salvador was therefore illegal. The United
States represents that the removal to El Salvador was the
result of an “administrative error.”

Except no court has jurisdiction so they can say what they want but he was lawfully deported as only the President has that decision.

Trump’s team isn’t taking any crap off the MSM and I love it. That’s a big change from Trump 1.0. Humiliate those maggots whenever they deserve it.
