Nicolle Wallace Gushes That Protest Signs For Illegal Immigrants Made Her ‘Democracy-Worried Heart Sing’

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace said Monday on her podcast that seeing “For Due Process” protest signs made her “democracy-worried heart sing.”

Wallace on Wednesday announced the launch of her new podcast, “The Best People with Nicolle Wallace,” expanding from her weekly political show on the network. While speaking with fellow MSNBC host Rachel Maddow about the Trump administration’s deportation efforts, Wallace criticized the push for mass deportations, claiming the efforts haven’t focused on illegal criminal migrants.

“Well, I also think if you go to the most fundamental thing that they’re doing — they’re moving human beings,” Wallace said. “I think if you pump the brakes right there — what the public thinks it’s for is deporting back to home countries people who are adjudicated criminals. New York Times/Siena’s got like 87% of people that are for that. That’s largely what Obama did. That is not where any of the time and energy has been spent.”

“So all of the movement of human beings to countries from which they are not, for crimes that they can’t prove were committed. For people that it’s not even clear they presented evidence to anyone,” Wallace added. “I just find it all so surreal. I find the fact everyone seems — it doesn’t feel like a partisan statement to say ‘Due process is a thing we’re still for.’”

Since President Donald Trump vowed during his campaign to deport the millions of illegal migrants who entered the U.S. under the Biden-Harris administration, Democrats have pushed back. Beginning in April, Democrat pundits and lawmakers spoke out against the deportation of illegal migrant Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia after he was deported by the Trump administration in March.
