Overview
- Tiffany Cross accused the Trump administration of “kidnapping” migrants and sending them to “concentration camps” during a CNN NewsNight panel that highlighted ICE operations with National Guard support.
- Cross cited reports that fewer than 10% of detained individuals have committed serious crimes to challenge the administration’s justification for enforcement actions.
- New York Post editor Kelly Jane Torrance denounced the Holocaust comparison as insulting to survivors, triggering a heated on-air exchange.
- Border Czar Tom Homan warned that incendiary rhetoric like Cross’s has contributed to violent threats against ICE agents.
- The debate follows a no-arrest ICE operation in Los Angeles’s MacArthur Park this week, and the agency has not publicly addressed the concentration camp allegations.
