In an Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) raid the liberal media managed to not leak out, ABC’s senior political correspondent Rachel Scott rode along overnight Monday into Tuesday with ICE and other federal law enforcement agencies on raids in Northern Virginia and, when it was all said and done, her biggest concern voiced on Good Morning America wasn’t that one illegal alien “convicted of sexual battery” had two children living with him.
Nope! Instead, it was what this would mean for the two children to be separated from their father and another adult who was also in the country illegally.
Scott even framed her table-setter as built on the insinuation ICE may have been lying to her:
[W]e were out with ICE for hours overnight as they went forward with targeted operations. The administration says that they are going after what they call the worst first individuals in the country illegally but have a known criminal record.
She then griped that “as we saw firsthand today, it is not stopping” with hardened criminals.
“At the second ICE operation, agents arresting one man who they say was deported twice and reentered the country illegally. Officials say he has been convicted of sexual battery,” she scoffed before dropping what she seemed to take issue with. “[I]nside that residence, there were two minors and an uncle. Agents believe that uncle is undocumented.”
Scott revealed they didn’t seize the “uncle” on the spot, but ordered him to surrender two days later so he can figure out whom to leave the two children with.
The ABC liberal tool posed this to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem:
NOEM: This family — we don’t know what other family members they have. That’s why he has two days to go locate them and make sure these kids are with someone in their family that they believe will keep them safe and set a better example for them.
SCOTT [TO NOEM]: There is that likelihood that these families could be separated.
NOEM: There is consequences and we’re giving him time to leave these children with someone else.
ABC’s Rachel Scott, continuing to show the liberal media haven’t learned a thing since the election in which immigration was one of the leading issues that put President Trump in the White House.
Before tossing back with the observation ICE was joined by the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Scott doubled down on her concern for the children, something the liberal media rarely spend time mentioning when this happens to underage Americans with native-born relatives: “So, DHS tells us they handle these cases on a case-by-case basis. But there are still so many questions this morning on what exactly happens to minors in these scenarios.”

8:03 a.m. Eastern[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: Breaking at 8; New ICE Raid]
MICHAEL STRAHAN: We’re going to turn now to the latest immigration overnight. Senior political correspondent Rachel Scott was embedded on an ICE operation in Virginia. Good morning, Rachel.
[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: Breaking at 8; Inside New Immigration Raid]
RACHEL SCOTT: Michael, good morning to you. Yes, we were out with ICE for hours overnight as they went forward with targeted operations. The administration says that they are going after what they call the worst first individuals in the country illegally but have a known criminal record. But, as we saw firsthand today, it is not stopping there. At the second ICE operation, agents arresting one man who they say was deported twice and reentered the country illegally. Officials say he has been convicted of sexual battery, but inside that residence, there were two minors and an uncle. Agents believe that uncle is undocumented. They told him to turn himself into immigration authorities in two days. So, we asked the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, what happens to those minors.
DHS SECRETARY KRISTI NOEM: This family — we don’t know what other family members they have. That’s why he has two days to go locate them and make sure these kids are with someone in their family that they believe will keep them safe and set a better example for them.
SCOTT [TO NOEM]: There is that likelihood that these families could be separated.
NOEM: There is consequences and we’re giving him time to leave these children with someone else.
SCOTT: So, DHS tells us they handle these cases on a case-by-case basis. But there are still so many questions this morning on what exactly happens to minors in these scenarios. I will tell you this was all hands-on-deck situation this morning. It was not just ICE agents. It was also FBI, DEA, and the ATF, Robin.
ROBIN ROBERTS: Alright. Our thanks to you, Rachel.
