CNN host Brianna Keilar battled Oklahoma State Faculty Superintendent Ryan Walters over his openness to potential ICE raids on colleges.
Throughout a phase on Tuesday’s “CNN News Central,” Keilar performed a clip of Walters saying on a neighborhood outlet that he wouldn’t rule out raids on colleges if the Trump administration deemed it essential.
“If that’s what President Trump sees fit as there’s an illegal immigrant population there that needs to have enforcement to remove them from the schools, absolutely,” Walters stated within the interview. “We are going to work with him to be sure that he‘s able to carry that out.”
“Do you think that would be traumatic for students in schools? And I’m speaking about all college students,” Keilar requested him, in response to the clip.

“My big concern is what illegal immigration has done to our education system,” Walters started. “It has prompted mass chaos. We aren‘t able to get the resources—”
“Can you just answer my question please, superintendent?” Keilar interjected.
She followed up, speaking slowly, “Do you think it would be traumatic for students to witness a raid in their school and students forcibly removed from their school? Do you think that would be traumatic?”
Walters answered, “I think what would be traumatic is if you didn‘t give President Trump the information necessary to keep families together. So what you would prefer is to just deport the parents and have the kids have no idea what happened to their parents? What we‘re—”
“That’s not what I’m asking. I’m asking you….That’s by no means what I’m asking, superintendent,” Keilar interrupted once more.

Keilar repeated her query to which Walters reiterated his assist for any resolution Trump made on immigration coverage. When she interrupted him once more, Walters attacked the query.
“You are asking me a question, a hypothetical, when we’re dealing—” Walters stated.
“It’s not hypothetical. You made it clear it’s not hypothetical. You said it’s not hypothetical, sir,” Keilar stated.
“I told you about a terrorist in our school last year, and your defense would say you wouldn‘t remove him because he’s a terrorist in a school,” Walters stated. “Of course, we’re going to take it on a case by case basis. We’re going to work with the Trump administration. We have fentanyl deaths over 600 times up in our state. Of course, we’re going to deal with that.”

Keilar closed the phase by asking Walters if he would solely take away college students who’re suspected terrorists.
“I’m saying that we’re going to work with the Trump administration to enforce their anti-illegal immigration policy,” Walters stated. “That includes giving them information about students in our schools, families enrolled in our schools so they can make the decisions on how to deport families together and how to identify criminals in our school system.”
