Jean-Pierre: ‘What They Are Doing Is a Legal Stunt...It’s Really Just Disrespectful to Humanity’

Reporter: “And when you say there’s a legal way of doing this, are you implying that the way it’s being done now is illegal?”
Jean-Pierre: “So, I’ll say this. We’ve been asked about if we’re going to take any legal action, I would refer that to the Department of Justice. But there is a process. There’s a process of taking in migrants. There’s a process that is in place. And what they are doing is a legal stunt, is a political stunt and, and it’s really just disrespectful to humanity. It doesn’t afford them any dignity, what they’re doing. When you are abandoning families and children in a place where they were told they were gonna get housing, in a place where they were told they were going to get jobs, or abandoning them in on the D.C. streets, it is just cruel and it’s not about — it’s not about the process, actually, it’s about a political tool, a political stunt that they are moving forward with.”
