DANA BASH: “You’re not only a lawmaker, you are an attorney. Do you think the federal government has any legal authority to do that with American citizens?”
TOM EMMER: “I think right now what he’s doing is absolutely legal, which is removing those that do not have legal status in this country. That have proven to be the worst of the worst. This is what he promised Americans he would do.”
DANA BASH: “What about the idea that the White House says that it is looking into whether or not U.S. Citizens who are convicted of violent crimes can be imprisoned in El Salvador?”
TOM EMMER: “Again, what they’re focused on — and what you and I are focusing on — is what’s actually happening. Which is deporting terrorists, cartel members, rapists, murderers. The worst of the worst is exactly what Donald Trump promised during the campaign. And that’s why 77 million people, Dana, elected him to follow through on this promise, and that’s what they are doing.”
DANA BASH: “I just want to give you one more chance to say whether or not you’re okay with U.S. Citizens — the idea of it, I know it’s not happening — but he has actively said more than once that they are looking into it. Would you be okay with that?”
TOM EMMER: “Again, the issue that we’re dealing with is I’ve got a president who wants to protect U.S. Citizens from violence, from crime, having their children solicited, murdered, etc, versus Democrats who seem to want to protect illegal aliens in this country for whatever reason.”
