“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg has promoted false claims about President Donald Trump’s deportation agenda, deceitfully telling her audience that Americans now face “being deported to some country we’ve never been.”
Trump’s administration deported over 200 gang members on Saturday.
Most of the illegal aliens were part of Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua while others were members of the notorious MS-13 gang.
They were deported to El Salvador and Honduras.
However, the move sparked backlash as a judge issued a last-minute order attempting to block the deportations.
Goldberg responded to the controversy by warning that the Trump administration could randomly choose any American to be deported to a country they are not familiar with.
However, doing so would be a blatant violation of the U.S. Constitution.
Responding to the story on Monday’s broadcast of the ABC propaganda show, Goldberg told her viewers:
“If they can just come up and take somebody because they’ve made a decision that you’re supposed to be that person, any one of us could find ourselves being deported to some country we’ve never been.
“Well you know, it is very clear to me that if we don’t continue to say, listen, I understand you want to clean out all the bad stuff, I get it.
“But why do you now have access to my personal information?
“I get the things you’re trying to do, I don’t get why you’re taking my stuff, not just me personally, but every single one of you and your constitutional right of free speech.”
WATCH:
The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees citizenship to all individuals born on U.S. soil.
This citizenship cannot be revoked.
According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, deportation can only apply to naturalized citizens whose citizenship status is revoked for attaining naturalization illegally or for violating specific immigration laws.
However, revoking the citizenship of such a person is extremely rare.
Goldberg, who was born in New York, cannot be subject to deportation under any circumstance under the 14th Amendment.
U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg blocked the deportations in a Saturday ruling.
Nevertheless, the planes were already en route to South America and they completed their journey.
The judge verbally demanded that the planes be returned to the U.S.
However, this verbal demand was not included in his written ruling.
The White House denied that they defied Boasberg’s order.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday that the planes were already outside of U.S. territory and, therefore, the ruling could not be put into effect.
The Administration did not ‘refuse to comply’ with a court order. The order, which had no lawful basis, was issued after terrorist TdA aliens had already been removed from U.S. territory. The written order and the Administration’s actions do not conflict. Moreover, as the Supreme… https://t.co/DnjUsuWTLH

Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport members of Venezuela’s Tren de Agua gang.
The powers allow presidents to deport non-citizens without them going in front of an immigration or federal court judge under certain circumstances.
El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele confirmed that his nation received 238 members of Tren de Agua and 23 MS-13 members, two of whom were ringleaders.
Bukele openly mocked the federal judge’s order to stop the deportations.
The El Salvador leader said in a post on X that the anti-Trump judge was “too late.”
