Miles Taylor spent years sabotaging Trump from inside DHS – and CNN keeps putting him on TV to lecture America about ICE.
Taylor tried to weaponize a San Francisco airport arrest to paint ICE agents as out-of-control thugs.
Scott Jennings asked him three words – and Taylor had nothing.
The Man Who Claimed to Be "Anonymous" Has No Answers
Taylor's entire anti-ICE rant collapsed the moment Jennings asked the simplest possible question: "Who did they arrest?"
Taylor didn't know.
He had gone on national television to condemn federal law enforcement agents for an arrest he knew nothing about.
What actually happened at San Francisco International Airport was this: ICE agents enforced a deportation order that an immigration judge issued in 2019.
Seven years ago.
Angelina Lopez-Jimenez and Wendy Godinez-Jimenez had been living in the United States illegally with a final removal order hanging over their heads since the Trump first term.
When ICE moved to escort them for processing, Lopez-Jimenez tried to flee and resisted officers, according to a DHS spokesperson who confirmed the details to the Daily Caller News Foundation.

DHS made one more thing clear: the arrest happened before Trump's order deploying ICE to airports even took effect.
Taylor had constructed his entire outrage around an operation that preceded the policy he was attacking.
"Well, what kind of an interaction was it actually?" Jennings pressed after Taylor complained about the arrest. "Do you know the situation?"
Taylor admitted he didn't.
"Who did they arrest? Now you're bringing it up. Who did they arrest?" Jennings followed – and Taylor had nothing left but the same non-answer: "It was an arrest. I don't know, Scott. What information do you have?"
The Record CNN Doesn't Mention Before He Speaks
Taylor isn't just a random contributor with an opinion about ICE.
He is the man who penned an anonymous New York Times op-ed in 2018 claiming he was leading an internal "resistance" to undermine a sitting president from inside the Department of Homeland Security.
The White House formally accused him of illegally publishing classified conversations and abandoning his constitutional oath – conduct Trump's April 2025 executive memo called potentially treasonous, ordering DOJ and DHS to investigate.
CNN seated this man next to Scott Jennings to deliver expert analysis on immigration enforcement.

Jennings wasn't buying it.
Democrats Are Blocking TSA Paychecks to Protect Deportation Targets
Here is what Taylor and his CNN panel will not say out loud.
Democrats are keeping TSA agents from getting paid – six weeks and counting – to force restrictions on an agency that just arrested someone with a seven-year-old deportation order.
Chuck Schumer said it himself back in January: "Until ICE is properly reined in and overhauled, the DHS funding bill won't have the votes to pass the Senate."
DHS reports more than 400 TSA officers have quit since the shutdown started.
At some airports, four out of ten agents are calling out.
Americans stood in nearly six-hour security lines at Hartsfield-Jackson while their elected Democrats held the agency hostage.
Trump responded the only way a president serious about security could – deploying ICE to 14 major airports including Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Chicago to keep the lines moving.
Democrats attacked that decision too.
Their preferred outcome is five-hour lines and no enforcement of deportation orders.
Trump's preferred outcome is keeping American airports functional while agents execute orders that immigration judges signed years ago.
The Democrat demands – strip ICE authority, mandate judicial warrants for every arrest, force agents to unmask – would have made the SFO arrest impossible even though a federal court issued the removal order in 2019.

They're not trying to reform ICE.
They're trying to dismantle it one demand at a time – and when that doesn't work, they go on CNN and pretend the arrests never had a legal basis in the first place.
Scott Jennings ended that in three words.
Miles Taylor, the man who hid behind "Anonymous" to undermine an elected president, couldn't name the person ICE arrested – and that told your 70-year-old uncle everything he needs to know about who's actually defending this country.
