Examples of Whose in a Sentence

1. Press Secretary Sarah Sanders:

   The president was very clearly referring to MS-13 gang members who enter the country illegally and whose deportations are hamstrung by our laws, this is one of the most vicious and deadly gangs that operates by the motto of ‘rape, control and kill.’ If the media and liberals want to defend MS-13, they’re more than welcomed to. Frankly, I don’t think the term that the president used was strong enough.

2. J. G. Ballard:

   Hell is out of fashion -- institutional hells at any rate. The populated infernos of the 20th century are more private affairs, the gaps between the bars are the sutures of one's own skull. A valid hell is one from which there is a possibility of redemption, even if this is never achieved, the dungeons of an architecture of grace whose spires point to some kind of heaven. The institutional hells of the present century are reached with one-way tickets, marked Nagasaki and Buchenwald, worlds of terminal horror even more final than the grave.

3. Anuj Somany:

4. Former Obama:

I can no longer justify to him, or to myself, my complicity in the actions of this administration. That's why I choose to resign.

5. Parisa Tabriz:

   What we've seen in the last couple of years is what we suspect to be governments trying to intercept communications, in one case, there were Iranian-region Gmail users whose connection was being intercepted.
