Trump could make ‘stronger’ case for deportations by showing proof: Byron York

Published March 24, 2025 11:36am ET



The Washington Examiner’s Byron York suggested that the Trump administration could win over public support for its deportation of illegal immigrants if it can show proof that they belong to foreign gangs.

The Trump administration has said it is certain it is deporting members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua to El Salvador, with border czar Tom Homan insisting that “we’re not making this up” and that the administration is following the law. York, the Washington Examiner’s chief political correspondent, noted how the general public supports President Donald Trump’s bid to deport illegal immigrants. He also said many people likely question the double standard of claiming Trump’s deportations are unconstitutional while former President Joe Biden allowing “10 million people into the country illegally” is not considered unconstitutional.
