AG Pam Bondi's Weekly Fox Update! Where Are The Arrests?

James Coughlin, The World News Report, today, April 6th, 2025. God bless you and yours, no matter where you are in the world. Please subscribe, give us a thumbs up, ring that bell for critical future updates. Ladies and gentlemen, Attorney General Pam Bondi made yet another appearance on Fox News today for her weekly update. And I'm not feeling that she's headed in the right direction. Let me know what you think after you hear her comments. Of most of those legal fights, Attorney General Pam Bondi, welcome. Thank you. I'm so happy to be here. Glad to have you. So let's start there. Is there any scenario in which the President gets an order or a final judgment from the Supreme Court in which he doesn't agree with it and he doesn't comply? The President is going to comply with the law. He was overwhelmingly elected by an overwhelming majority of the United States citizens. To be our Commander-in-Chief, and that's what he's been doing. Shannon, just since January 20th, we've had over 170 lawsuits filed against us. That should be the constitutional crisis right there. 50 injunctions, they're popping up every single day, trying to control his executive power, trying to control where he believes our tax dollars should be allocated. And seeing you won by an overwhelming majority is so important because that's what the American people want. What President Trump campaigned on and what he won on. And he's implementing that agenda at a rapid speed. None of us can keep up with him every single day. And so it's just, we're going after all of these lawsuits. We're defending them all. We just got a great win. And we'll continue to fight every day. You did. Friday night, 5 to 4 at the Supreme Court, you got a win with respect to cuts to the Department of Education. But the court did go against you on issues of foreign aid being paid out. How do you think these issues of executive power, when they get to the court, ultimately on the merits, will go? Because you know the court is told. Executives know when it comes to things like student loans or recess appointments. Sure. I think we're going to be very successful on all these. So why don't you just write up the DEI. That was Department of Education. So we represent all the various agencies and all of these 170 lawsuits have to do with all the agencies across the board. This particular one that was very important because the court said that President Trump can control where our tax dollars go and what they're allocated for, and we do not have to spend them on DEI, and that's what was happening. So the ramifications of that are huge for our country, and that impacts every single agency. To give you an example of a case, Department of Defense. So we had, it's military readiness, and that's one of the president's top agendas, as is P. Hegseth. So in the district court, a district court in D.C. Ruled against us on military readiness, meaning gender dysphoria, ruled against us. We appealed that to the circuit court and we won. The second we won, within minutes, Shannon, in California, they filed an identical lawsuit and we lost. So that's what we're up against. It's basically a game of whack-a-mole with these district court judges around the country who have a tremendous amount of power. They believe they do. But that's why we're appealing all of these cases, of course, up to the Supreme Court. Yeah, they're very busy. You have several things that are sitting there now. So while you have the plan on Friday night, a lower court judge on Friday night will begin to respect to, and I'm going to read this because I want to make sure I get this name right. Gilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who is somebody who's living in Maryland, he was under an order not to be deported because of fears or danger that he may face back in El Salvador. The government has admitted there was an error in deporting him, but this judge has said you've got a deadline midnight Monday to get him back from El Salvador. There have been allegations that he is a gang member, that he's involved in human trafficking. This is what the judge said. That's just chatter in my view. I haven't been given any evidence in a court of law when someone is accused of membership in such a violent and predatory organization. It comes in the form of an indictment, a complaint, a criminal proceeding that has robust process so we can assess the facts. So would it be helpful in making your case, not only to the court, but in the court of public opinion, to show what you have explaining these allegations? And to explain to you, ICE has testified, members of ICE, that he is an MS-13 gang member. The defense, his lawyers, have argued, well, he should be here because he was studying to be an electrician. Let me give you a comparison. I was just in our home state of Florida this week where we arrested three MS-13 gang members. These three, it was a cold case, 10 years old. They are charged with violently, violently stabbing an individual over 100 times as part of their gang initiation. One was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, one was arrested, he fled to Minnesota, great police work, FBI, all of the agencies together fought him, one there, and then the other, ready for this, was a drywall hanger in the villages in Florida. Hanging drywall. So the argument that because these people are living among us, these illegal aliens from El Salvador, means they're not part of the gang, that's how they're hiding. That's how they're succeeding. Last week, the day's all run together, last week we were in, half an hour from here, where we're sitting right now in Virginia, and arrested another extremely violent gang member who was the leader for the East Coast, one of the top three leaders for our entire country. And this guy was living in Virginia in a nice neighborhood, there were wreaths on the door, there were children's bicycles outside his neighbor's home. That's so frightening and that's how they insulate themselves. So we have to rely on what ICE says, we have to rely on what Homeland Security says. They're our clients and I firmly believe in the work they are doing and we're going to make America safe again. That was President Trump's directive. To all of us. So, a break for Garcia that was not charged with any of these things, stabbings, murders, anything. He was never charged or convicted with anything. So is there a missed opportunity there for the government with this order to bring him back? Even if you could, if you did, would you then face charges here? Well, and our jails are full of people. We want to send these people out of our country. When possible, when we have charges of violent murder, we're going to keep the ones that are here, we're going to keep them here, we're going to charge them, we're going to prosecute them. The one in Florida I just mentioned, we have the victims' families in court with us, and that gives them closure. But the best thing to do is to get these people out of our country. And when that first plane left and landed in El Salvador, there were 261 reasons why Americans were safer. We have to look out for the safety of our people. Country, first and foremost, and that is Donald Trump's directive, and we're going to continue to do that. Is there a reason that the attorney who argued this case on Friday has been put on suspension? Is it because you don't think he zealously advocated enough? Did he mishandle the case? I mean, he had to admit, as has been done in this pleading, the government made a mistake in supporting this guy. So it's a pending matter right now. He was put on administrative leave by Todd Lynch on Saturday, and I firmly said on day one, I issued a memo. That you are to vigorously advocate on behalf of the United States. Our client in this matter was Homeland Security, is Homeland Security. He did not argue. He shouldn't have taken the case. He shouldn't have argued it if that's what he was going to do. He's on administrative leave now. But yes, you have to vigorously argue on behalf of your client. As lawyers, we know that. That would be a defense attorney walking in, conceding something in a criminal matter. That would never happen in this country. And so he's on administrative leave now, and we'll see what happens. Okay, I want to try to get to some other cases. The death penalty this week, you announced that you want the prosecution to seat that with Luigi Mangione, accused of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in the town of Manhattan. Politico reacted to that with this line, how Trump loses Gen Z. I was in an airport a couple of weeks ago with a young woman that had on a sweatshirt with his face on it, and he was portrayed as a religious icon. It was a halo, kind of like a saint. Um, what, what? Take on how the younger generation sees him as a bit of a folk hero and political assessment that it may cost you politically. Shannon, the president's directive was very clear. We are to seek the death penalty when possible. And, you know, it hadn't been done in four years. I was a capital prosecutor. I tried death penalty cases throughout my career. If there was ever a death case, this is one. This guy is charged with hunting down a CEO, a father of two, a married man, hunting him down and executing him. Yeah, I feel like these young people have lost their way. I was receiving death threats for seeking the death penalty on someone who was charged with an execution of a CEO. We're going to continue to do the right thing. We're not going to be deterred by political motives. I've seen a protester walking down the street here, Free Luigi. This guy's charged with a violent crime, and we're going to seek the death penalty whenever possible. Okay, another headline. There's chatter about President Trump's decision. In the third term, he has said, quote, there are methods. Is this just one of his epic trolls, or does he, or do you believe there is a method, short of amending the Constitution, by which he could seek a third term? President Trump has served one full term. He's on his second full term. He's a very smart man. And I wish we could have him for 20 years as our president. But I think he's going to be finished probably after this term. Probably? Well, the Constitution. We'd have to look at the Constitution. It would be a heavy lift. And what if you get two thirds of the Senate and the House to go along with you? But is the concession, that's really the only way to do it? It'd be a heavy lift. Okay. Attorney General, we thank you for your time. And there you have it, folks, another week of nothing. She spent her time arresting gang members when she should be more worried about criminals inside of our government. As we all know that we have hundreds, if not thousands of them. No mention of the Epstein files. No mention of any of the lawfare against Donald Trump over the last eight years. No mention of accountability for anyone except for a bunch of MS-13 gang members whose arrests should have been handled at the local level, not even the state level. The whole thing is ridiculous. She can't keep her eye on the ball or is compromised. We're in real trouble with this one, folks. Where are the arrests? God bless. Please share, subscribe, and always remember, anything's possible. Bizarro world.
