Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "We Need People Who Follow the Law--Not the Man." - CNN Laura Coates Live
The rule of law means nothing if those in power are only loyal to one man.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett joins Laura Coates on CNN for a wide-ranging conversation on immigration, the rule of law, and growing concerns over the Trump administration's approach to governing.
Rep. Crockett responds to recent ICE operations, pushes back on claims from Trump administration officials, and argues that public servants have a duty to follow the Constitution—not political loyalty. She also discusses the confirmation hearing for Todd Blanche, the importance of accountability in government, and why constitutional rights must apply to everyone.
The conversation turns to foreign policy as Rep. Crockett explains her position on military aid to Israel, shares her concerns about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership, and discusses why Americans deserve leaders who can address challenges at home while remaining committed to human rights abroad.
From immigration and oversight to foreign policy and constitutional rights, this conversation is about what happens when loyalty to one person begins to outweigh loyalty to the law—and why that should concern every American. - Aired on 07/16/2026.
