CNN Host Hits Wes Moore With Migrant-Crime Question, Spurring Rant Against ICE
25th September 2026
On Sunday, CNN’s State of the Union hosted Governor Wes Moore (D-Maryland). Bash questioned Moore about crimes committed by illegal immigrants, but the conversation quickly shifted to criticizing ICE. Moore claimed that ICE is bigger than the FBI and is putting “unaccountable and unqualified people” into communities.
Bash began the segment by focusing on the “illegal immigrant who was a rideshare driver” that raped his 17-year-old female passenger. She emphasized, “The fact is that Homeland Security is saying he was an undocumented immigrant and the Biden administration let him come in 2023.” Bash then asked Gov. Wes Moore whether he understood “how upset this makes people.” Then she allowed Moore to speak uninterrupted for a minute and a half.
Moore reassured the residents of Maryland that he has “no tolerance for violent offenders” and “there is nothing that we will not do to make sure that our communities are safe.” He confidently continued, “if someone commits a violent crime in our state, I want him in handcuffs in 24 hours and they will have accountability coming their way.”
Sure, I believe that.
