Jasmine Crockett Hilariously Shades Trump With Trolling Question About 'Immigrant Crime' During Hearing

Rep. Jasmine Crockett perfectly shamed Donald Trump with a question she posed to mayors about immigration during a House hearing.

Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas went viral after she shamed President Donald Trump with a question she posed to mayors about immigration during a House hearing that mocked him for his felony convictions—without naming him at all.

In May last year, Trump became the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes. The jury found him guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels to illegally influence the 2016 election.


Crockett's remarks attracted attention after the Republican-led House Oversight Committee summoned four Democratic mayors to Capitol Hill on Wednesday, pressuring them to compel local law enforcement to take on the responsibilities of federal immigration officials. The committee’s actions appeared to be a clear attempt to advance Trump’s aggressive mass deportation agenda.

During his State of the Union address earlier this week, Trump requested funding from Congress to launch "the largest deportation operation in American history, larger even than current record holder President Dwight D. Eisenhower,"—a reference to 1954's "Operation Wetback," a term widely condemned as racist. The U.S. government estimates that the operation led to the roundup of more than a million Mexican immigrants, along with some U.S. citizens.

But Crockett pointed out that it's not necessarily immigrant crime that the GOP should be considering, saying:

"I'd like to touch on something because I know many of you prepared for today's hearing by making sure you got a little bit of information about immigrants and crime in your cities."
"Let me ask each of the mayors, just 'yes' or 'no': Have any of you been made aware of any immigrant that has had 34 felony convictions that has still been able to roam around in your cities? Anyone? 34 felony convictions from the immigrants. Anybody?"

After one man said he is "not aware" of any immigrants who match that description, Crockett added:

"I’m just curious because we are so concerned about crime and I know that my Republican colleagues would never want anybody with 34 felony convictions roaming around because that could be a danger to the community, but I will move on."

You can hear what she said in the video below.

Of course, we all know who Crockett was referencing—and people loved her killer shade.



Last month, Crockett criticized MAGA followers and billionaire Elon Musk with a mock apology to them after identifying an "immigrant" who actually is "taking people's jobs."

Trump has repeatedly asserted that immigrants are taking jobs from American workers, at times even claiming that over 100% of new jobs are going to them. But he hasn't had much, if anything, to say about Musk gutting federal agencies via his DOGE initiative despite not being an elected official—and a foreign-born unelected official at that.

At the time, Crockett said that Musk is "snatching farms, government jobs (even those in which they manage our national security), and definitely those whose jobs are to root out fraud (inspector generals), & those that are keeping us safe (FAA), meals on wheels workers, head start, and the list goes on, so I’ll be the bigger person and admit to MAGA that I was wrong when I said immigrants wouldn’t take our jobs."

Jesse Watters Blasted For Hypocrisy After Using Term He Was Previously Outraged By

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was called out for hypocrisy after he described the oustings of ABC News correspondent Terry Moran and Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg as them having been "86'd"—just weeks after complaining about the term "86 47," which he sees as a clear call to assassinate President Donald Trump.

The term "86" means to eject, discard, or disprove of, and though it's said to have military origins, it's commonly used in restaurants when getting rid of unruly customers or when a patron has specific dietary restrictions. For example, saying "86 the mushrooms on the burger" means to prepare a burger sans mushrooms. Similarly, saying "86 the burger with mushrooms" means to not make the burger at all.
