Trump and Vance are moving quick. They don’t want to give Democrats room to breathe.
And now J.D. Vance went scorched-earth on Democrats with one bombshell statement.
Unwavering Resolve on Deportation
Vice President JD Vance doubled down Thursday, signaling that President Donald Trump’s administration isn’t about to pump the brakes on deporting criminal illegal aliens—no matter how loudly “far Left Democrats” complain.
Appearing on Fox & Friends with host Lawrence Jones, Vance spotlighted the administration’s push to send suspected gang members—tied to notorious groups like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua—straight to a sprawling mega-prison in El Salvador.
It’s a move that’s got the left in a tizzy, but Vance made it clear: the mission stays on track.
Cutting Through the Noise
Jones zeroed in on a case Democrats have seized on, claiming it proves Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is sloppy with its vetting. “They’re pointing to one of these cases of a gentleman that they said should not have been deported to El Salvador.”
“They said he was not connected to MS-13,” Jones said, tossing the mic to Vance with a challenge:
“Put your lawyer hat on—what would you tell them about that case? They’re saying this was a person that was a great member of society. You’ve looked at the court records. You’ve talked to the men and women on the ground, what can you tell us about that situation?”
Vance didn’t flinch. “There have been a few cases out there where Democrats and the media say, ‘Oh, this person was just an innocent father of three,’ and then you find out, for example—I think this is the case that you’re talking about—back in 2019 an immigration judge looked at all the evidence, looked at all the data, and concluded that this allegedly innocent person that we sent to El Salvador was actually a member of an MS-13 gang,” he said.
“He had also committed some traffic violations, he had not shown up for some court dates. This is not exactly father of the year, here, this a person that we don’t think should be in our country.” Facts over feelings—that’s the line Vance drew in the sand.
Putting Americans First
The vice president didn’t stop there. “We do not ask permission from far-Left Democrats before we deport illegal immigrants. We do the American people’s business,” he declared, framing the policy as a no-nonsense win for citizens who deserve safe streets.

He took a sharp jab at the Left’s priorities, adding, “What they’re getting fired up about, what they’re most angry about, is not that Jocelyn Nungaray was m*rdered, but that the person who m*rdered her is getting shipped back home where they belong.”
Vance admitted he couldn’t wrap his head around the Democrats’ outrage. To him, it’s baffling they’d rather clutch pearls over deporting criminals than mourn the victims left in their wake. It’s a stance that quietly echoes the Trump team’s promise: keeping the focus on law-abiding Americans, not the sob stories of those who’ve broken the rules.
