RACHEL CAMPOS-DUFFY (CO-HOST): One of the things that's interesting is this case alone, with El Salvador and that prison, we've seen the images of the prison, it looks like hell on Earth, right? Before the deportation, or before Donald Trump actually took office, I remember talking with, or early on, with Tom Homan. Because one of the problems was, OK we have these illegal criminals, where do they go? Because there are a lot of countries saying we're not going to take them. And I remember Tom Homan had this little twinkle in his eye like, we got a plan, don't worry.
LAWRENCE JONES (CO-HOST): Yeah.
CAMPOS-DUFFY: And the plan was that he had made these agreements with El Salvador. And I think what the liberals are looking at, they're like, oh wait, we thought we had the problem solved and these countries didn't take them. Now El Salvador will take them, so now we have to come up with another idea, which is oh, how do you know that everybody getting sent there is actually a gang member, MS-13, Tren de Aragua? And so they are trying to create another hurdle for the Trump administration to go over -- you have to somehow prove that they are a gang member.
