President Donald Trump’s first 100 days are nearing their end, and Democrats are still divided on how best to respond to the White House’s fast-paced style of government management.

The debate over President Trump’s mass deportation plan erupted this past week. Much of the focus was on Kilmer Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant in Maryland, who the government admits was wrongfully deported to El Salvador last month. The Supreme Court ruled that Abrego Garcia’s release and return should be “facilitated”. However, the Trump administration says it is up to the El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele if the illegal immigrant is sent back to the United States. Earlier this week, FOX News Rundown host Gurnal Scott spoke with author, law professor, and FOX News Contributor Jonathan Turley about the back-and-forth over this case and the other legal fights related to the president’s deportation policies.
