Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) blasted President Trump on Sunday for saying he doesn’t know if he has to uphold the Constitution amid his sweeping immigration crackdown.<\/p>\n
During a \u201cMeet the Press\u201d interview with NBC News\u2019s Kristen Walker, the president said he was \u201crelying\u201d on Attorney General Pam Bondi to guide the administration’s response to a Supreme Court ruling directing his administration<\/a> to \u201cfacilitate\u201d the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a wrongfully deported Maryland man.<\/p>\n When asked by Welker about whether he must uphold the Constitution when it comes to deportations, Trump said, \u201cI don\u2019t know. I have to respond by saying, again, I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said. What you said is not what I heard the Supreme Court said. They have a different interpretation.\u201d<\/p>\n In response to a clip posted to the social platform X, Schumer said the president \u201chas just admitted that he \u2018doesn\u2019t know\u2019 whether he needs to uphold the Constitution.”<\/p>\n \u201cThis is as un-American as it gets,\u201d he added<\/a>.<\/p>\n
