Immigration

Better (very) late than never? New York Times reporter Christopher Flavelle issued an exhaustive chronological rundown, sympathetic but still damning, of former President Joe Biden’s politically disastrous immigration policy, a dangerous mix of activism and passivity. The Sunday front-page headline introducing the whopping 4,000-word story: “Inside Biden’s Losing Bets on Immigration -- Not…

Under Democrat Governor JB Pritzker, Illinois has refused to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), resulting in the release of nearly 1,800 criminal illegal aliens since Pres. Donald Trump took office, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported Monday.

This past week, as several MS NOW hosts fretted over the recent deportation of a Babson College student to Honduras, it was barely mentioned that a court had issued a final order of deportation against her.

One night after hyping “disturbing images” out of Florida during a Border Patrol operation, ABC’s World News Tonight was at it again on Friday. This time, anchor David Muir and correspondent Pierre Thomas labeled the videos “alarming” and “harrowing” despite each of the three examples having a perfectly reasonable explanation.

CNN sports correspondent Don Riddell may have been reporting from snow-covered D.C. on Friday’s The Situation Room, but his hot take about the upcoming World Cup could have thawed the wintry weather. According to Riddell, Trump’s America—specifically, ICE operations—is comparable to human rights abuses in the two previous World Cup hosts of Russia and Qatar.

On Wednesday, Jimmy Kimmel Live! co-executive producer, co-head writer, and Kimmel’s wife, Molly McNearney, gave a speech at a Women In Entertainment event for The Hollywood Reporter that was a bizarre combination of outrageous and deeply weird. On everything from Kimmel’s suspension to immigration to abortion to racism, McNearney painted a dire picture of life in Trump’s America, but her…

Former MSNBC host Krystal Ball joined foul-mothed and extremist I’ve Had It podcast co-host Jennifer Welch to whine about non-white ICE agents and female members of the second Trump administration. The episode, entitled “Christian Nationalist Crybabies,” was released on Tuesday.

If at first you don’t succeed try and try....and try again? ABC must have thought that was the way in spending one news cycle each on their flagship newscasts Good Morning America and World News Tonight falsely spinning viewers there was no context to President Trump’s scathing comments about Somali Americans. But on the third try on Thursday’s World News Tonight, they chose to grow a spine…

On Monday night, MS NOW host Rachel Maddow used her eponymous show to promote liberal activists who have been harassing Home Depot over immigration raids even though the company has no control over the federal government's law enforcement actions. She also went on to invoke civil rights icon Rosa Parks as she talked up anti-ICE protests around the country. 

MS NOW’s Joe Scarborough came out swinging against MAGA Wednesday morning, castigating the Trump administration for its “lies” and taking pleasure in its immigration enforcement “cruelty.” The Morning Joe co-host then lashed out at the President’s supporters for, apparently, not taking the teachings of Jesus to heart.

As the nation continues to be roiled by debate over unfettered immigration and terrorism, with such deadly results as the recent D.C. shooting, a new horrifying plot comes into light. And two of the nation’s three broadcast network newscasts couldn’t be bothered to cover it.

On Wednesday, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today lied to their viewers to smear President Trump by choosing to ignore the context of his Tuesday comments lashing out at Somalis living in the United States as “garbage,” instead casting it as a “presidential tirade” either completely out of the blue or a way to lay the groundwork for Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) operations…

Comedy Central’s Jordan Klepper stopped by The Daily Show: Ears Edition podcast on Monday to preview his upcoming special that claims there is a dissonance between President Trump’s campaign for the Nobel Peace Prize and his actions in cities like Portland, Oregon. As part of the sneak peek, Klepper hyped his travels to Portland, where he wandered into one of the city’s naked bike rides, which…
