Texas Gov. Abbott on Deportations: Trump Is Enforcing Laws that Are Already on the Books

KERNEN Well I ll ░░░░░░░░ you where I was ░░░░░░░░ with that and why ░░░░░░░░ mentioned your service on ░░░░░░░░ state Supreme Court as ░░░░░░░░ There s a piece ░░░░░░░░ the Journal today talking ░░░░░░░░ Trump deportations and the ░░░░░░░░ And you d think ░░░░░░░░ was the reason I ░░░░░░░░ this the Journal does ░░░░░░░░ issue with with maybe ░░░░░░░░ against what the courts ░░░░░░░░ saying but at least ░░░░░░░░ bring it back to ░░░░░░░░ president was elected to ░░░░░░░░ the opposite of what ░░░░░░░░ Biden Administration did in ░░░░░░░░ of abusing the justice ░░░░░░░░ He was you can ░░░░░░░░ at the end there ░░░░░░░░ Mr Trump was elected ░░░░░░░░ stop that not imitate ░░░░░░░░ And I m just ░░░░░░░░ what you think of ░░░░░░░░ judge s decision with ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ it been litigated that ░░░░░░░░ re all gang members ░░░░░░░░ re bad people it ░░░░░░░░ like that we were ░░░░░░░░ that were on that ░░░░░░░░ to El Salvador A ░░░░░░░░ once again one single ░░░░░░░░ wants that plane to ░░░░░░░░ around and after a ░░░░░░░░ has already been made ░░░░░░░░ with El Salvador The ░░░░░░░░ is arguing that I ░░░░░░░░ t know I think ░░░░░░░░ Journal is saying the ░░░░░░░░ should have turned around ░░░░░░░░ come back to abide ░░░░░░░░ the court s decision ░░░░░░░░ s the right move ░░░░░░░░ this ABBOTT So to ░░░░░░░░ into the way the ░░░░░░░░ works Joe and that ░░░░░░░░ first as you pointed ░░░░░░░░ used to be a ░░░░░░░░ Court justice and then ░░░░░░░░ attorney general of Texas ░░░░░░░░ ve litigated these issues ░░░░░░░░ frequently And a lot ░░░░░░░░ people in the business ░░░░░░░░ they forget the way ░░░░░░░░ Constitution was constructed And ░░░░░░░░ is there s the ░░░░░░░░ of powers The executive ░░░░░░░░ has the authority that ░░░░░░░░ operate independently of the ░░░░░░░░ and the judicial branches ░░░░░░░░ as you gotta look ░░░░░░░░ the bowels of the ░░░░░░░░ of it to see ░░░░░░░░ or not that is ░░░░░░░░ pure separation here But ░░░░░░░░ the Trump Administration is ░░░░░░░░ is that they have ░░░░░░░░ independent authority that cannot ░░░░░░░░ overridden by the judicial ░░░░░░░░ or by the legislative ░░░░░░░░ to execute these laws ░░░░░░░░ what Trump is doing ░░░░░░░░ s just not saying ░░░░░░░░ we re going to ░░░░░░░░ this because we want ░░░░░░░░ do it Trump is ░░░░░░░░ laws that are already ░░░░░░░░ the book and that ░░░░░░░░ exactly what the Constitution ░░░░░░░░ the executive Branch to ░░░░░░░░ QUICK But isn t ░░░░░░░░ an interpretation of the ░░░░░░░░ that the courts are ░░░░░░░░ for ABBOTT So Becky ░░░░░░░░ are correct there are ░░░░░░░░ of the law all ░░░░░░░░ time However I can ░░░░░░░░ tell you that there ░░░░░░░░ many times when the ░░░░░░░░ of the law is ░░░░░░░░ or is overextensive or ░░░░░░░░ You know we have ░░░░░░░░ trial court judges in ░░░░░░░░ United States of America ░░░░░░░░ erroneously apply the law ░░░░░░░░ tie the hands of ░░░░░░░░ executive Branch And what ░░░░░░░░ Trump Administration believes and ░░░░░░░░ m just going on ░░░░░░░░ here they re more ░░░░░░░░ happy to step up ░░░░░░░░ test the limits of ░░░░░░░░ the courts will rule ░░░░░░░░ the powers of the ░░░░░░░░ Branch here point one ░░░░░░░░ point two let me ░░░░░░░░ make this point quick ░░░░░░░░ I get that but ░░░░░░░░ t I guess the ░░░░░░░░ is can a stay ░░░░░░░░ enforced by the courts ░░░░░░░░ you wait for this ░░░░░░░░ play out maybe play ░░░░░░░░ to the Supreme Court ░░░░░░░░ see how they come ░░░░░░░░ on these things What ░░░░░░░░ in the meantime Who ░░░░░░░░ the upper hand has ░░░░░░░░ right ABBOTT In the ░░░░░░░░ term there can be ░░░░░░░░ stay that can be ░░░░░░░░ appealed up to the ░░░░░░░░ States Supreme Court That ░░░░░░░░ different in a way ░░░░░░░░ a flight that s ░░░░░░░░ the air all the ░░░░░░░░ to dropping off in ░░░░░░░░ country they re going ░░░░░░░░ be dropping off these ░░░░░░░░ who are very dangerous ░░░░░░░░ members And there s ░░░░░░░░ don t believe there ░░░░░░░░ going to be a ░░░░░░░░ order that requires the ░░░░░░░░ Administration to go back ░░░░░░░░ whatever country they dropped ░░░░░░░░ people off in and ░░░░░░░░ them back up and ░░░░░░░░ them back to the ░░░░░░░░ States.”
