Fox News Host Sparks Outrage With Disturbing Stance On Immigrant Deportations

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade enraged social media users after he said that undocumented immigrants "don't deserve" due process before getting deported.

On Monday's broadcast of the right-wing cable news channel Fox & Friends, Kilmeade stated that he didn't think it was "practical to do due process on 8 million people."

"If we're gonna give every one of these guys a day in a court and a lawyer, we can't do it. They don't deserve it," Kilmeade added.

The rant occurred while he discussed Republican President Donald Trump's crackdown on immigration and his 2024 campaign promise to deport millions of illegal migrants.

Here's a video clip.

Appalled social media users reminded him that every person in the U.S. is entitled to the fundamental principle of fairness and justice rooted in the Fourth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution, ensuring that the government fairly follows established protocols before depriving someone of their life, liberty, or property.

Many feared that innocent people would be mistakenly deported or removed from the country, especially as a result of Trump's recent invocation of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

The wartime law allowed the President to target citizens or nationals of an enemy nation who may have done nothing wrong without legal proceedings.

It was last invoked in World War II when the U.S. government incarcerated 120,000 Japanese Americans—many of whom were American citizens—and sent them to internment camps following the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Kilmeade continued getting slammed for his rant.

Kilmeade's disturbing view of immigrants is in line with Trump's anti-immigration White House.

The administration's official website shared an ASMR video of undocumented migrants being chained and boarding a plane, which sparked backlash for its "unconscionable" portrayal of immigrants.

The Spanish version of whitehouse.gov also led web visitors to a 404 error code accompanied by a box instructing them to "Go Home."
