"Alleges," please, there's video of ICE agents throwing her into the pavement and X-rays and medical evidence of the injuries she suffered as a result. The only thing open to argument here is whether or not there's going to be accountability, pretending like there's any mystery over what happened here is bullshit.

About 60,000 migrants arrive in Ceuta in 24 hours, Spanish territory's leader says

Real subtle /s

I don't think wasting time arguing over a question's wording instead of just diving into the actual substance of the issue like Larkin did would have looked good, and looking at the rest of that exchange it seems like the Fox people sure didn't like how it went for them,

Gallagher asked Larkin if he supports open borders.
“I don’t think there’s anything to fear with people seeking a better life in the United States of America,” Larkin answered before he noted his wife is the “proud daughter of a Nicaraguan immigrant.”
Larkin cited legislation by Jared Moskowitz, his opponent in the Congressional race, who was part of the effort that passed the Laken Riley Act, which requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to detain immigrants who have been accused of a crime. Riley was a 22-year-old student who was attacked and killed by José Antonio Ibarra, an undocumented immigrant.
The pair sparred verbally on the topic of immigration. “We need to keep our communities safe and we need to hold people accountable when they have harmed others, when they have broken the law but let’s be clear. Immigration is a civil violation, not a criminal violation,” Larkin said.
“So we need to stop treating the equivalent of a parking ticket like people are breaking the law and need a militarized police force breaking down their door,” he continued. “So the comparison here is not one of criminality. It is whether we are respecting international law, the right to asylum, the right of respecting refugees’ rights.”
Gallagher repeatedly attempted to engage Larkin on the topic of an acceptable number of “children who can be raped and it’s fine in relation to the immigration community.”
“If we’re going to talk about children being raped, then we need to hold this pedophile president Donald Trump accountable and all those that can implicate in the Epstein files that the Department of Justice is still not leaking and they’ve sent AIPAC after Thomas Massie—” Larkin began before Gallagher interjected, “Got it, thanks.”
“—for having the temerity to hold accountable the pedophiles that are in control of our government,” Larkin concluded.
“Thank you. We appreciate your time very much,” Gallagher said before the segment’s end.
