Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller was asked how he knew Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia was a member of MS-13.
Transcript
00:00My question is, how do you know that he's a member of MS-13?
00:03The White House has been said according to intelligence.
00:05According to our government and his government.
00:08In other words, his government has confirmed his own intelligence that he's a member of MS-13.
00:13First of all, do you dispute that he's an illegal alien?
00:15What's that?
00:16Do you dispute that he's an illegal alien?
00:17No.
00:18Okay.
00:19And do you dispute that as an illegal alien, we have the right to deport him?
00:25He went through the process.
00:27He went through the legal process.
00:29So, I want to be very – what I'm getting from this conversation, which is educational for me,
00:34is that not one person in the media knows the difference between a deportation order and a withholding order.
00:38Is that a fair statement?
00:39You're learning about this all for the first time right now?
00:41I guess so.
00:42Okay.
00:42So, the deportation order means the judge has said he must be deported from the country.
00:48He has no right to remain here any longer.
00:51He must be removed from the country.
00:53So, his only options are to be deported to his home country or another country.
00:58That's it.
00:58There's no other option.
00:59He doesn't get to stay here.
01:01He doesn't get to live here.
01:02He has no future here.
01:03He has no right to be here.
01:04He's an illegal alien.
01:05So, when you keep saying return because you've been spun up by the open borders advocates,
01:10you all seem to be operating under the illusion that he would be able to come to the United States
01:14and just continue to live here illegally.
01:16That's not an option available to him.
01:18His only choices in life are to live in El Salvador or to live in another country.
01:21That's it.
01:22There's no other option, legally or otherwise, because he came to our country illegally.
01:27Do you understand that?
