  1. These illegal alien invaders SNUCK IN, let's just sneak them back out, Mr President! Let the CIA secretly do this along with other secret missions they routinely conduct

  12. If Garcia does come back, if he steps out of line just once, he's deported… Unknown vaccination status, that says a lot.

  13. Another fake news stop passing stupid issues talk about the economy mf and continue about the mistakes deportation he’s has a deportation orders already was in court he beat his wife smuggling people the authorities found guns in his house don’t watch ABC

  18. Well, now it’s confirmed our very lives are at stake because of this administration …. and the loose cannons that are a part of it.z…!!!!!

  22. Only issue I see is no headship states sons got sativa plants on roof pot growing takenen by Mommy and lost to atf taxes never get get dividends for para es to gifty tech our peoples money stuffs! Thanks a lot!

  23. This New York report is a hoax. Only Democrats will believe it. Hegseth is not a fool to lose his job that he was dedicated to.

  27. So congress, are you waiting for “third time is the charm” before you (or someone) removes hegseth? Hopefully his third time doesn’t result in military casualties. 😡

  34. Pete Hegseth was a low level officer before Donald Trump noticed his ignorance and incompetence which qualified him as defense secretary in his cabinet. Now the slip is showing.
