Jessica Tarlov expressed her understanding of President Donald Trump’s struggle to issue an apology for the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, drawing a parallel to her experiences as a parent of a young child.
During a segment on “The Five,” the Fox News host conveyed her sympathy, noting how challenging it can be for anyone, including political figures, to admit to mistakes. “It’s not easy to say you’re sorry,” Tarlov remarked. “As a parent, I see similarities when my toddler, with chocolate all over their face, staunchly insists they didn’t eat the cookies. This situation mirrors that behavior. There needs to be a careful approach in these processes; we are not opposed to deportations, but accuracy is essential.”
Expanding on the deportation case, Tarlov referenced a specific incident involving a photo that was misconstrued. “There was a case where an individual was mistakenly identified with a ‘tren de aragua’ tag because they were pictured with what appeared to be a multicolored gun, which turned out to be a toy,” she stated. She emphasized the importance of proper analysis, mentioning that aspects like tattoos could offer deeper insights into an individual’s background.
Amidst the political discourse surrounding Garcia’s deportation, the Trump administration appears determined to keep him in El Salvador despite significant pressure from Democrats and other commentators advocating for his return to the U.S. Tom Homan, who served as the Trump administration’s border chief, indicated on CNN last Friday that Garcia is unlikely to be returned.
“I believe we acted correctly; he is exactly where he needs to be,” Homan stated during his interview with journalist Kaitlan Collins. He further clarified that even if Garcia were to come back to the United States, he would not be released but would face detention and continued deportation proceedings, either back to El Salvador or to another country.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt echoed Homan’s stance, reinforcing the government’s position during a press briefing. She firmly asserted, “If he ever sets foot back in the U.S., he will be deported immediately. Nothing will change the fact that Abrego Garcia will never return to Maryland or live in the United States again.”
