'The man is dead': CNN host shuts down GOP strategist's excuse for deportation gone 'awry'

CNN host Abby Phillip on Thursday shut down a prominent GOP strategist's attempt to defend a deadly deportation operation conducted by President Donald Trump's immigration forces.

He was dropped off at the site after being released from a county jail, and was found five days later still wearing the socks he received in jail. Federal authorities had determined that Alam was not eligible for deportation when he was released from jail.

CNN data guru Harry Enten was floored on Thursday night by the latest polling in the Texas GOP Senate primary race between Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), and Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX).

Lawyers in President Donald Trump's Department of Justice made some "significant" admissions in court on Thursday that could doom its prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, according to one expert.
