Watch the moment unfold below! 👇

“The Five” host Jessica Tarlov clashed with the former judge after the Trump administration deported hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador.

Fox News host Jessica Tarlov clashed with co-host Jeanine Pirro on Monday after the former TV judge defended the deportation of hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador over the weekend — even as a judge ordered President Donald Trump’s administration to stop.

Tarlov said Trump’s efforts signal that the asylum system is essentially “done,” comments that set off her co-hosts at “The Five” including Pirro, an ex-county court judge and former prosecutor in New York.

“I’m just saying if you don’t believe in due process anymore then be honest about it, because that’s what’s going on here,” Tarlov said.

“The only due process I believe in is the legal way to enter this country,” Pirro stressed.

“But claiming asylum is legal,” Tarlov replied.

“Yeah, well, only if you do the legal process, you don’t come illegally,” Pirro said.

“But they tried, and then they’re being disappeared from their court hearing,” Tarlov responded.

“Being disappeared, Americans are being disappeared,” Pirro said mockingly.

Tarlov joined “The Five” discussion over the Trump administration using a rarelyinvoked 18th-century wartime law to fly immigrants ― allegedly affiliated with Venezuelan gangs ― out of the country, a move that a top Venezuelan lawyer said was done without due process.

“There is good reason that everybody is saying ‘alleged members’ and ‘suspected members,’” said Tarlov, who pointed to an immigrant attorney who claimed her client was to appear in immigration court Thursday only to have been “disappeared” since.

“What was he supposed to show up in court for?” Pirro asked.

“He had a legitimate asylum claim, he had tattoos ―,” noted Tarlov before her co-host interjected.

“Legitimate asylum claim, it’s not legitimate until a judge says it’s legitimate,” said Pirro before crossing her arms and looking at the camera.

On Saturday, U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg ordered to immediately halt the flights, which were already in the air when the verbal order took place.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement on Sunday that the Trump administration didn’t “refuse to comply” with the order, adding that it had “no lawful basis” and the flights were outside U.S. territory. The judge responded in disbelief to those arguments on Monday and ordered Justice Department lawyers to provide more details about the flights — and why they didn’t turn around.

Jorge Rodriguez, the president of Venezuela’s National Assembly, told reporters that those who were deported didn’t commit crimes in the U.S. or El Salvador.
