Scott Jennings Educates CNN Host On Rap Sheets Of Illegal Immigrants Sent To Sudan

Republican strategist Scott Jennings detailed the criminal convictions of illegal immigrants deported to South Sudan Wednesday, saying that country was “too good” for them.

The White House released a fact sheet detailing the eight illegal immigrants’ criminal convictions, including for murder, assault, robbery, sexual assault and child sexual abuse Wednesday in response to a federal judge’s claim that the Trump administration disregarded a court order by deporting them. Jennings stepped in after “CNN NewsNight” host Abby Phillip clashed with Republican strategist Shermichael Singleton over the removal of the eight illegal immigrants.

“They have broken the law, Abby. When you come into the country, you’ve committed a felony. And number two, you have to deter this behavior from continuing to happen because it has become a problem for this country,” Singleton said, with Phillip responding, “Okay. So the deterrence is like, El Salvador will send them to places where they might face imminent death?”

“Absolutely. Because that sends a message: If you come to the United States and break our laws, violate our immigration laws, it will have severe consequences,” Singleton said, with Phillip responding, “Okay. So for unspecified crimes, we don’t know exactly what all these people were convicted of —”

Jennings then cut in, offering to read some of the criminal convictions the illegal immigrants had.

“I’ll read it,” Jennings said, as Phillip said, “The penalty that the Trump administration says is appropriate, potentially could be death. Right?”

“I mean, I’ll read it,” Jennings responded. “Sex offenders, homicide, kidnapping, murder in the first degree, battery, larceny, cocaine possession, murder, robbery, DUI, child sex abuse and sex assault on someone with a mental illness. [South] Sudan is too good for these people. And I’m not sure any other country would take ‘em.”

Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin accused corporate media outlets of ignoring prominent victims of crimes committed by illegal immigrants during a Wednesday press conference. Authorities in Oklahoma arrested 23-year-old Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, for the August 2023 murder of 37-year-old Rachel Morin in Maryland June 14, 2024.

Authorities in Houston arrested two men in June 2024 and charged them with capital murder in the rape and murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray. In February 2024, Jose Antonio Ibarra, an immigrant from Venezuela who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally, was arrested by University of Georgia police and charged with murdering 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley.
