CNN host Brianna Keilar found herself having to fact-check America First Policy institute Executive VP Chad Wolf on Tuesday after Wolf claimed more than once that former president Joe Biden had levied no enforcement of U.S. immigration.
During the interview, Keilar pointed out numbers revealing the Trump administration had increased arrests of immigrants with no criminal record by more than 1,400 percent. Wolf excused Trump’s clumsy mass arrests as a necessary ’s response of having to “deal with four years of a completely wide-open border that the Biden administration left the Trump team.”
It was after Wolf’s second attempt at blaming Biden that Keilar spoke up.

“You'll see almost if you look at four years of the Biden administration, you'll see absolutely no one removed. Right? Which is why we're in the crisis,” Wolf said.
“That’s not true and you know that,” said Keilar, which caught Wolf off-guard.
“Excuse me?”
“That's not true,” Keilar repeated. “You're saying no one was removed?”

Wolf immediately attempted to talk down to his female host. “I don't think you understand what you're talking about here at all,” he insisted.
“You're saying no one was removed in four years? Period?” Keilar demanded. “Mr. Wolf, just to be clear, you're saying no one was removed? Just be clear: Explain what you're saying. No one was removed under the Biden administration from the United States?”
“A historical low number of individuals removed from the interior of the country,” Wolf eventually clarified.
