Fox News host abruptly cut-off during migrant monologue

Fox News host Sean Hannity was abruptly cut off the air as he erupted into a furious monologue about illegal immigration. It came during the anchor's opening to his show on Wednesday, where he ranted about how Democrats 'will have blood on their hands' due to the migrant crisis at the southern border.

'Over 11 million that they have allowed into this country - the illegals that Kamala wants to decriminalize, provide free housing, healthcare, education,' Hannity said in the monologue. 'Now? Taxpayer-funded...' At that moment, the feed went black for around two minutes - before Hannity returned and jokingly blamed a 'left wing radical liberal conspiracy' for taking him off the air.

In his monologue, Hannity grew irate as he slammed Kamala Harris and Democrats over the border crisis , singling out crimes perpetrated by illegal immigrants during Joe Biden 's presidency. He sounded off on 'every American who has been murdered and raped by their unvetted, illegal immigrants' - claiming 11 million have slipped into the nation in recent years.

But after Fox News suffered technical difficulties, viewers were left to watch only a B-roll of Kamala Harris followed by several adverts. When Hannity returned and made a joke about a 'conspiracy' to cut his show, he also took aim at 'the media' who may think he was being serious.

'I don’t really believe that, for you idiots in the media that will print that tomorrow,' he said. The monologue on illegal immigration comes at a time of heightened awareness over the effects of unfettered illegal immigration, particularly with the emergence of Venezuelan gangs in Aurora, Colorado. Despite local police initially denying the Tren de Aragua gang had gained a foothold in the region, this week Aurora Police arrested a number of alleged gangsters tied to the criminal organization.

Shocking security footage showed armed men overtaking an apartment complex and terrorizing the area, with many of the recent arrests stemming from violent activity at the Whispering Pines apartments. Some of the arrests stem as far back as late 2023, when, according to the property's managers, the gang established a 'stranglehold' on the property, engaging in assaults, threats of murder, extortion and even child prostitution.

Earlier this year, it was also revealed that eight migrants that were arrested were found to have ties to ISIS - bringing further scrutiny on the ease at which criminals could slip over the border under soft policies. Eight Tajikistan nationals with potential ties to ISIS were arrested in New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles in June, following a coordinated sting by law enforcement, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials.

This raised alarm bells on Capitol Hill among GOP members who have for years been calling for border security reforms to keep terrorists and their collaborators out. 'Think about how easy it is to invade when you have up to 15 million people coming in in the course of four years,' Rep. Rich McCormick, a military veteran, told DailyMail.com at the time.

He added that it 'only takes 11 people,' in reference to those who carried out the 9/11 attacks. 'We've seen that before,' he continued, calling current border policy 'pure stupidity.' Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., told DailyMail.com: 'I know that there are established cells here in the United States as a result of the open border crisis.' 'And so this is not a question of if, the question is when is the next terrorist attack going to happen?'
