Multiple outlets quoting the same Fox News interview report that Manley opposes deporting illegal immigrants who have murder charges and says they should be jailed in the U.S. instead, which supports the claim that he wants such people to stay in the country.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… First of all, these Democrats all deserve each other. It's hilarious that they're fighting in that way, but it's, like, so openly bigoted. Ah, but he was just on, um, ah, one of the other networks, and ah, he was, he was talking about the, the fact that he doesn't want illegal aliens who have committed murder in other countries to be deported from the United States. This is how nutty this dude is. Take a look at this. Let me pull this up for you. He was just on Martha McCallum this week, and he had this to say about murderers, convicted murderers, who enter the United States of America. …
VINCE · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. VINnews reports Manley said illegal immigrants who enter the country with murder charges should be jailed in the United States rather than deported, calling deportation a "vacation."[1]
Supports. BizPac quotes Manley in a Martha MacCallum interview saying sending a murderer back "doesn't make sense" and "If you're a murderer coming to this country, put you in jail."[2]
Supports. Twitchy describes Manley as "in favor of keeping illegal alien murderers in America," consistent with the same interview.[3]
Context. Hot Air disputes whether U.S. authorities could jail such people without a trial and says they would be deported to the proper jurisdiction, but it does not contradict what Manley said he favors.[4]
Context. The claim omits the post's qualifier that the murders were committed in other countries; the post's own passage matches that scope, so the claim is graded as a faithful paraphrase.
