Claim: Says Sen. Lindsey Graham said a newly elected Donald Trump “will round up and deport LEGAL immigrants.” (Eric Swalwell, 2024-06-09)
Evidence (2024-09-02): Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, on Sunday poured cold water on former President Donald Trump's new campaign promise that would require either the government or insurance companies to cover the costs of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments. [...] In a Sunday appearance on ABC News' This Week, when asked by host Jonathan Karl if Graham, a Trump ally, wouldn't support "mandating insurance companies to cover" the cost of IVF, the senator said he would, but added that he instead believes in a tax credit for children. [...] Newsweek has reached out to Graham's office and Trump's campaign via email for comment.

Evidence (2024-07-30): Fact check: Did Graham say Trump will 'round up and deport legal immigrants?' [...] There was one problem: Graham never said Trump would deport legal immigrants.

Evidence (2024-06-09): If Your Time is short - Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., didn’t quote Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., accurately. Swalwell posted that Graham said Trump plans to deport legal immigrants, but Graham said Trump plans to deport immigrants in the U.S. "illegally," not "legally." [...] There was one problem: Graham never said Trump would deport legal immigrants. He said Trump would deport illegal immigrants.

Evidence (2024-08-25): Let me just follow up with you a little bit on that point. Because I've been talking to Republicans, including Senator Lindsey Graham just last week, who have made it very clear that if Donald Trump is elected, if you are elected, they will continue to press this point. Senator Graham said to me, "I'm going to keep saying that there should be a federal ban." If such a piece of legislation landed on Donald Trump's desk, would he veto it? [...] I think he would. He's said that explicitly that he would. And again, Lindsey -- [...] All right, another big topic in this race is immigration. There has been a lot of discussion about Donald Trump's plans for mass deportation. According to one estimate, more than 11 million U.S. citizens live in households with mixed immigration status, including more than five million children. If you and former President Trump were elected, would you separate families as a part of your mass deportation effort?

Evidence (2015-12-07): One of Trump's rivals, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, was quick to condemn the statement. "This is kind of thing people say when they have no experience & no idea what they're talking about," Christie said, according to WNYC's Matt Katz. [...] South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham tweeted that "every candidate for president needs to do the right thing and condemn" Trump's statement. [...] He added, "it is really brilliant politics for Trump right now in the Republican primary and the reactions from the other candidates prove it. All the people attacking Trump on his immigration proposals now attacking him on this have done themselves no favors within the primary process."

Evidence (2023-05-11): They argue the situation at the border will not improve unless lawmakers create more legal pathways for migration given that deterrence policies deployed under former President Donald Trump’s administration didn’t stop migrants from trying to enter the country. [...] But Senate Republicans are unlikely to agree to that without other policy solutions. "You’re just throwing good money after bad [policies] if you don’t change your asylum laws," Judiciary ranking member Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said. A group of Senate Republicans, led by Oklahoma’s James Lankford, held a press conference Thursday to push for restoring many of the same Trump-era policies in the House bill, like the Remain in Mexico policy and a ban on releasing migrants while their immigration court proceedings continue.

Evidence (2024-05-19): All right. Senator, let's – let’s move on to immigration. If reelected, Donald Trump has said he's willing to build migrant detention camps and deploy the U.S. military to deport the more than 11 million undocumented immigrants in this country. It would be the largest deportation operation in American history. Do you support that plan? [...] Senator, here's what you said about Donald Trump's mass deportation proposals in 2016. Take a look. I don't think it's reasonable to say you're going to round up and deport 11 million people. I don't think it's a plan that works. I don't think that's a realistic policy.
Claim: Says Sen. Lindsey Graham said a newly elected Donald Trump “will round up and deport LEGAL immigrants.” (Eric Swalwell, 2024-06-09)
Evidence (2024-01-07): Former President Donald J. Trump is planning an extreme expansion of his first-term crackdown on immigration if he returns to power in 2025 — including preparing to round up undocumented people already in the United States on a vast scale and detain them in sprawling camps while they wait to be expelled. [...] To help speed mass deportations, Mr. Trump is preparing an enormous expansion of a form of removal that does not require due process hearings. To help Immigration and Customs Enforcement carry out sweeping raids, he plans to reassign other federal agents and deputize local police officers and National Guard soldiers voluntarily contributed by Republican-run states. [...] Then, there is Senator Lindsay Graham, the former Air Force military attorney, who tried to convince us that he cared about law and order. Unfortunately, as The New York Times reports, that was a bit of a scam. And now he has come to appreciate Donald Trump’s lawlessness. He had this to say on Meet The Press:
Claim: Says Sen. Lindsey Graham said a newly elected Donald Trump “will round up and deport LEGAL immigrants.” (Eric Swalwell, 2024-06-09)
Evidence (2024-06-05): "They will keep coming until they see people leaving. [Trump] told me this morning, when he gets to be president, not only is he gonna secure the border, he’s going to deport hundreds of thousands of people here illegally. And if you wanna shut down illegal immigration, those coming need to see an outflow by the tens and hundreds of thousands. That will deter. The only policy change that will work is to have mass deportations. Because people will stop coming when they see people leaving." [...] No — according to Graham, the visual of mass deportations is the "only" solution to the United States’ immigration crisis. Those well-versed in history might call it his "final solution." But let’s be clear: Mass deportations would devastate American families, they’d likely run afoul of human rights law, and they’d do grave damage to the U.S. economy. [...] Graham’s remarks show Republicans — a party whose members have openly discussed "putting hands" on immigrants and celebrated a rancher accused of killing an immigrant — are always willing to move farther to the right to project their purported toughness on immigration. Moving right along with them, as Biden has done, doesn’t necessarily mean the administration’s skeptics on this issue will suddenly change their minds.

Evidence (2024-06-22): American Oversight has also continued its investigation of how the Trump administration is using the pandemic to further its far-right anti-immigration policies. In March, the Trump administration halted asylum claims processing at U.S. ports of entry, potentially violating the Refugee Act of 1980. At the same time, the CDC issued an order, extended earlier this month, and new rules, justifying the halt as a precaution for mitigating the spread of coronavirus. [...] Meanwhile, the federal government continues to deport people, moving people from overcrowded detention facilities across borders and effectively exporting the virus to other nations. In Guatemala, U.S. deportees make up roughly 19 percent of the country’s coronavirus cases. We filed FOIA requests with DHS for analyses and guidance from health agencies on the spread of coronavirus through deportations. We also asked DHS and the State Department for records of communications and meetings with the Guatemalan Ministry of Health. For more on our investigation into the government’s pandemic response and everything else we’ve been working on this week, read on:

Evidence (2024-07-11): The Republican National Committee (RNC) appeared to fully back Donald Trump's views on immigration in its official 2024 platform revealed this week, including a call for a mass deportation program targeting the millions of migrants already in the country illegally. [...] "We must make policy changes to reduce the flow of immigration," Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham, a Trump supporter, said in November, using notably softer language. "The world is on fire and threats to our homeland are at an all-time high. President Biden's border policies are not working and it's time to change course." [...] "Just as immigrant labor helped build our country in the past, today's legal immigrants are making vital contributions in every aspect of national life," the 2016 platform said.

Evidence (2024-09-24): Trump Promises Immigrants He Wants to Deport Will Get Serial Numbers Donald Trump’s immigration threats are getting even more disturbing. Immigrants are no longer welcome in Donald Trump’s America. Instead, the Republican presidential nominee posited that under his potential second administration, he would round up and mass-deport noncitizens based on their "serial numbers."

Evidence (2015-09-16): Senator Lindsey Graham (SC); [...] Senator Graham, you have called Donald Trump a, quote, "wrecking ball for the Republican party." Voters in your home state of South Carolina, in a recent poll, prefer Donald Trump 30 percent to your 4 percent. [...] GRAHAM: The bottom line, I'm trying to pitch the problem. We're not going to deport 11 million people here illegally, but we'll start with felons, and off they go. And, as to the rest, you can stay, but you got to learn our language. I don't speak it very well, well, look how far I've come? [laughter] Speaking English is a good thing. You got to pay taxes, you got to pay a fine, you got to get in the back of the line. You've got to secure your border or they'll keep coming. If you don't control who gets a job that never ends -- so (ph) got two borders. One with Canadia -- Canada, one with Mexico. I never met an illegal Canadian.
Claim: Says Sen. Lindsey Graham said a newly elected Donald Trump “will round up and deport LEGAL immigrants.” (Eric Swalwell, 2024-06-09)
Evidence (2019-06-21): President Trump has directed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to conduct a mass roundup of migrant families that have received deportation orders, an operation that is likely to begin with predawn raids in major U.S. cities on Sunday, according to three U.S. officials with knowledge of the plans. [...] Large-scale immigration enforcement operations are typically kept secret to avoid tipping off targets, but Trump’s tweet Monday blew the cover off the roundup. That the operation was revealed publicly stunned law enforcement officials, and they believe it gave them more latitude to discuss the raids. [...] The expedited family court docket, or "rocket docket," was developed by Trump officials late last year in an effort to deport more migrant families with the belief that a highly visible roundup operation could have a deterrent effect on others in Central America considering the journey.

Claim: Audio of President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur leaked. (TikTok video, 2024-06-05)
Evidence (2024-06-05): Audio of President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur has not been released by the Justice Department. One reason the Justice Department cited: fear it would be used to create deepfake. The Justice Department and Hur said the publicly released transcript matches the audio recording, except for minor changes like omitting pauses and duplicated words. A Justice Department spokesperson said the agency is confident a TikTok video that purportedly shows a leaked audio clip of the interview is fake. Three deepfake experts examined the video and told PolitiFact it is a deepfake.
Claim: Audio of President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur leaked. (TikTok video, 2024-06-05)
Evidence (2024-03-12): President Biden was in the early stages of his interview with special counsel Robert K. Hur when the topic of Beau Biden came up — initially with Biden raising it and later as Biden was attempting to get his chronological bearings and wondered aloud when, exactly, it was that his son died. [...] The exchange between Biden and Hur has become one of the focal points of a lengthy interview over two days in October that led the special counsel to conclude that Biden would not be prosecuted for mishandling classified documents — in part because Biden’s "poor memory" would make it difficult to convince a jury. [...] A Post review of the complete 258-page Hur transcript, which is expected to be provided to Congress on Tuesday morning, paints a more nuanced portrait of the exchanges between Biden and the special counsel. Biden doesn’t come across as being as absent-minded as Hur has made him out to be — and Hur doesn’t appear as crass as Biden has made him out to be.
Claim: Audio of President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur leaked. (TikTok video, 2024-06-05)
Evidence (2024-03-12): The transcript of Hur's interview with Mr. Biden last October, reviewed by CBS News, provides a fuller picture of the five-hour conversation between the two and context around some of the statements that appeared in the report. It reflects a professional, polite and occasionally humorous mood in the room. [...] In the interview, Hur commended Mr. Biden's "significant cooperation" with the investigation and asked the president for his "best recollection in response" to questions. "I acknowledge that some of the questions we are asking relate to events that happened years ago," Hur said. [...] Over two days in October last year, Mr. Biden and a team of lawyers sat for the interviews with special counsel Hur and his investigators in the White House Map Room. Hur led the questioning, probing the president on how his vice presidential residence and offices were packed in 2017 and how the material was transported and eventually stored at his homes in Virginia and Delaware.

Evidence (2024-04-08): Washington — The Justice Department rejected a request from two Republican-led House committees that it turn over an audio recording of former special counsel Robert Hur's interview with President Joe Biden. [...] "It's curious the Biden Administration is refusing to release the audio of President Biden's interview with the Special Counsel after releasing the transcript," the committee's statement continued. "Why shouldn't the American people be able to hear the actual audio of his answers? The American people demand transparency from their leaders, not obstruction." The committee said it would respond to the Justice Department soon. [...] The transcript of Hur's October interview with Mr. Biden was released shortly before Hur testified before Congress last month and provided a fuller picture of the five-hour conversation. While Mr. Biden did stumble over some dates and struggled to find several words, he also recalled many specific details from years earlier.
