Sarah Huckabee Sanders faced some pointed questions from The View co-hosts Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin during a tense interview that quickly turned to President Donald Trump‘s immigration crackdown.
The Arkansas governor appeared on the November 9 episode of the ABC talk show to promote her new book, Unapologetic, and discuss the political landscape following Republicans’ losses in last week’s midterm elections.
Sanders described the results as a “tough night for Republicans,” but defended Trump’s approach to immigration, saying the president “was exactly right to secure our border and put an intense focus on violent, criminal illegals.”
Navarro, a Republican cohost who has frequently criticized the Trump administration, interrupted to challenge that characterization.
“I have to stop you there,” she said. “Because the majority of the people being detained and deported do not have violent criminal [records].”
When Sanders responded, “That’s not what I said,” Navarro continued pressing her, prompting the governor to fire back.

— The View (@TheView) November 9, 2026“No, you’re not going to twist my words around,” Sanders said, attempting to clarify that she was referring to the president’s focus on people entering the country illegally.
Sanders also acknowledged that she believed certain people in the administration should not have cracked down on, adding that she hoped Trump’s comments would encourage Democrats to work with Republicans on immigration reform.
Hostin then challenged Sanders’ use of the term “illegal,” telling the governor that people are “undocumented.”
“Actually, if you break the law, that’s the definition of illegal,” Sanders countered.
“People are not illegal. They may commit crimes, but they’re not illegal,” Hostin replied.
The former federal prosecutor also questioned Sanders about the number of people deported who, Hostin said, had not committed criminal offenses.
“That’s factually incorrect,” Sanders responded as Hostin continued to defend her position.
The exchange came as The View continues to bring conservative political figures to the Hot Topics table. Recent guests have included former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Vice President JD Vance, and Sen. Thom Tillis.
Sanders, who previously served as Trump’s White House press secretary, was reelected governor of Arkansas.
