Democratic strategist Aisha Mills claimed Monday on CNN’s “News Central” that former President Donald Trump “would absolutely try to exterminate people.” Monday on “The Hugh Hewitt Show,” Trump said, “How about allowing people to come to an open-border, not as 13,000 of which were murderers. Many of them murdered far more than one person. And they’re now happily living in the United States, you know. Now a murderer, I believe this, it’s in their genes.

The state Supreme Court put McBurney’s ruling on hold at the request of Republican state Attorney General Chris Carr, whose office...
