Jesse Watters mocked his co-host Jessica Tarlov for criticizing President Donald Trump’s administration for deporting potentially innocent people to El Salvador, including a “gay barber.”

The president has conducted deportations under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, targeting migrants the administration identifies as members of the Tren de Aragua gang — which Trump declared a terrorist organization. On Monday’s The Five, Tarlov raised the alarm about the reports of non-gang members being accidentally swept up in these deportations, including makeup artist Andry José Hernández Romero. The 31-year-old was deported to an El Salvadorian prison with other migrants, but ACLU filings have shown that Romero was identified as a gang member based on one tattoo, a crown with the word mom.

As Tarlov accused the administration of taking away people’s “due process,” her co-hosts mocked the mention of the “gay barber,” meaning Romero.

“You’ve been talking about this gay barber and El Salvador with some stupid tattoo for weeks. Weeks, Jessica. It’s just a gay barber,” Watters said as Tarlov mentioned Andry and argued she doesn’t trust that the El Salvadorian government is not “torturing” the prisoners they receive.

“He’s not into you!” Greg Gutfeld quipped.

Watters argued the makeup artist is an “innocent guy” who got “swept up in a deportation.”

“A lot of people in this country, Jessica, get arrested for things that they didn’t do, get falsely accused, falsely —” Watters began before Tarlov jumped in.

“I’m also against racial profiling.”

“That doesn’t mean,” Watters continued, “You just stop arresting people. That doesn’ mean you stop arresting criminals because one guy was arrested who was innocent. It just means you just try to do it better the next time.”

Watters joked Romero should be brought back because “gay barbers usually give the best haircuts.”

“We should bring them back just for that,” he said.

Check out the exchange below:

JESSICA TARLOV: You can’t take away people’s due process like that. And I, again, I don’t trust the El Salvadorian government to be making sure that they are not torturing people, that they’re vetting them properly. They need to be vetted on this side.

JEANINE PIRRO: Why do the Democrats always say this couldn’t happen?

TARLOV: It did happen.

PIRRO: They’re torturing them?

TARLOV: Did you watch the video?

PIRRO: Torturing? I saw they shaved their heads.

TARLOV: TIME magazine was when the gay barber from Venezuela who had a crown tattoo that said mom was being processed coming into the El Salvadorian—

JESSE WATTERS: Jessica.

TARLOV: Oh, am I boring you again? I’m sorry.

WATTERS: No, but you’ve been talking about this gay barber and El Salvador with some stupid tattoo for weeks. Weeks, Jessica. He’s just a gay barber.

GREG GUTFELD: He’s not into you.

WATTERS: He’s an innocent guy who got swept up in a deportation and hopefully we get it figured out and straightened out. But a lot of people in this country, Jessica, get arrested for things that they didn’t do, get falsely accused, falsely—

TARLOV: I’m also against racial profiling.

WATTERS: That doesn’t mean, that doesn’t mean you just stop arresting people. That doesn’t mean you stop arresting criminals because one guy was arrested who was innocent. It just means you just try to do it better the next time. And I have nothing against the gay barbers. Gay barbers usually give the best haircuts. So we should bring them back just for that.
