CNN national security analyst and former member of Barack Obama’s Homeland Security Advisory Council, Juliette Kayyem, called for a halt to immigration enforcement in the area of Uvalde, Texas in response to the tragic school shooting.
Uvalde High School student Salvador Ramos is accused of murdering 22 people yesterday, including 19 children and 3 adults.
Kayyem, commenting on the “political issues in Texas” in an appearance on Jake Tapper’s “The Lead,” suggested the critical thing for everyone in the area right now is to have sanctuary.
“The most important thing for the federal government to do right now is to say there will be no immigration enforcement during this period in that area,” she claimed.
Kayyem noted that the demographics of the school district are overwhelmingly Hispanic.
“It has a large immigration population,” she continued. “You want parents with their kids; you don’t want people hiding right now, and we need to make that clear ASAP because of the political issues in Texas.”

CNN national security analyst Juliette Kayyem was so determined to make the point that suspension of immigration laws is the most important thing following the horrific shooting that she reiterated it moments later.
“We need the federal government to say right now, everyone is essentially safe harbor right now in terms of immigration status,” she declared, noting most illegal immigrants will avoid interaction with a heavy police presence in the area.
“We want to make sure that they know, despite all the politics going on in Texas right now, it’s the federal government that’s in charge of immigration enforcement,” she said.
“And people are safe. Get your kids, get your families together. Do not hide. The White House just needs to say that right now.”
A few minutes later, Kayyem doubles down:
“We need the federal government to say right now, everyone is essentially safe harbor right now in terms of immigration status.”
Again, she suggests it’s because of “all the politics going on in Texas right now” dealing with immigration. pic.twitter.com/oYouvMmkh6— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) May 24, 2022

She Wanted Truckers Arrested
Kayyem sounded very different when talking about Canadian truckers earlier this year who were peacefully protesting against COVID mandates.
In fact, she wanted law enforcement to take drastic action.
“Slash the tires, empty gas tanks, arrest the drivers, and move the trucks,” Kayyem said.
The convoy protest, applauded by right wing media as a “freedom protest,” is an economic and security issue now. The Ambassador Bridge link constitutes 28% of annual trade movement between US and Canada. Slash the tires, empty gas tanks, arrest the drivers, and move the trucks ✔️ https://t.co/nvRQTfPWir

Days after the Capitol riot, Kayyem referred to then-President Trump as the “leader of a terrorist organization.”
“Trump is the spiritual leader for domestic terrorists and he is their operational leader. He tells them what to do. Now, total isolation. 25th A. Yes. Impeachment. Yes. Deplatforming. Yes. We are still in the tactical phase of a counterterrorism effort. Enough with unity.” @cnn pic.twitter.com/8UkZBzS4ai
