On Tuesday afternoon's Chris Jansing Reports, MS NOW promoted a liberal activist who stalks immigration agents so she can warn illegal aliens of their presence and keep them from being arrested. She also made the left's latest reference to Nazi Germany by invoking Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel.
Jansing set up the piece by touting the "grandmother" who is trying to undermine federal agents:
In New Orleans heightened fear as federal agents enforce President Trump's immigration crackdown. But one local grandmother is rolling up her sleeves and pushing back: 71-year-old Reverend Jane Mauldin says her faith drives her to keep her community informed and safe, so she trails ICE agents patrolling the city's streets, alerting people of their whereabouts on social media.
She then brought aboard reporter Alex Tabet to discuss a "ride-along" that he was doing with 71-year-old Unitarian pastor Jane Mauldin and to speak with her live. The MS NOW reporter filled in viewers:
Well, Chris, Reverend Jane Mauldin is having an absolutely massive impact here in the New Orleans area. She's doing what so many others are doing here, which is ICE-verifying, ICE spotting as it's called. And the way that it works is that you're in a Facebook group, you're in a WhatsApp group, you'll hear an eyewitness report of a potential federal agent in the area.
And she'll go and drive to that area, take a picture of a car that she suspects to be ICE, report it back into those Facebook groups, into those WhatsApp groups, as a means of letting the community know to shelter in place and to stay safe, but also by letting DHS and ICE know that they're being watched.
No concern was shown about whether federal agents are endangered by their locations being made public by such actions.
And at one point, Reverend Mauldin tried to tie in Nazi Germany by quoting Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel:
TABET: Why is it so important for you to be doing what you're doing? And how does your faith drive what you're doing here today?
REVEREND MAULDIN: Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel said, "The opposite of love is not hatred, it is indifference." And I believe my faith in action drives me to love, to be present, to witness and care for my neighbors. And I love my country dearly. I want my children, my grandchildren and their grandchildren to have the similar democracy to what I have. And if I don't act now by helping to protect my neighbors, then it will be gone.
A bit later, she hyperbolically accused ICE of kidnapping people:
When vehicles -- when people like this want to abduct and kidnap my neighbors with no reason to do so other than the color of their skin, that is not America. That is not what I believe. I believe we are all brothers and sisters and care for one another. And I'm trying to do my part right now as are thousands across New Orleans area.
Tabet is a journalist who has a history of showing sympathy of such liberal activism. On the November 18 Ana Cabrera Reports, he hugged an activist in Charlotte who helps run a group that provides food to immigrants who want to stay indoors to avoid immigration agents.

CHRIS JANSING: In New Orleans heightened fear as federal agents enforce President Trump's immigration crackdown. But one local grandmother is rolling up her sleeves and pushing back: 71-year-old Reverend Jane Mauldin says her faith drives her to keep her community informed and safe, so she trails ICE agents patrolling the city's streets, alerting people of their whereabouts on social media. MS NOW reporter Alex Tabet is in Louisiana for us, and I know you're with the reverend in a ride-along right now, so talk to us, what you're seeing and what she's telling you.
ALEX TABET: Well, Chris, Reverend Jane Mauldin is having an absolutely massive impact here in the New Orleans area. She's doing what so many others are doing here, which is ICE-verifying, ICE spotting as it's called. And the way that it works is that you're in a Facebook group, you're in a WhatsApp group, you'll hear an eyewitness report of a potential federal agent in the area.
And she'll go and drive to that area, take a picture of a car that she suspects to be ICE, report it back into those Facebook groups, into those WhatsApp groups, as a means of letting the community know to shelter in place and to stay safe, but also by letting DHS and ICE know that they're being watched.
And we're actually at the scene of one of these reports right now with Reverend Jane Mauldin. Reverend Jane, why do you suspect that that car that we can see right there -- why do you suspect that might belong to DHS or to ICE?
REVEREND JANE MAULDIN, UNITARIAN PASTOR: I have seen many confirmed DHS ICE vehicles over the last week. They all fit the same mold. Large SUV, usually white or black, fully dark-tinted windows with out-of-state license plates in strange places where they have no obvious reason to be. This fits that mold.
TABET: And Reverend Mauldin, you're 71 years old, you have four grandchildren. You have a lot on your plate. Why is it so important for you to be doing what you're doing? And how does your faith drive what you're doing here today?
REVEREND MAULDIN: Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel said, "The opposite of love is not hatred, it is indifference." And I believe my faith in action drives me to love, to be present, to witness and care for my neighbors. And I love my country dearly. I want my children, my grandchildren and their grandchildren to have the similar democracy to what I have. And if I don't act now by helping to protect my neighbors, then it will be gone.
TABET: Reverend Mauldin, thank you so much, Chris. I'll toss it back to you.
JANSING: And, Alex, I know they're telling us to toss it back, but I have to ask her what the reaction has been, what she's seeing, and does she feel she's making a difference?
TABET: Our anchor is wondering -- Chris Jansing is wondering, what have you been seeing in your community? And do you feel that you're making this difference?
REVEREND MAULDIN: Absolutely. I feel I'm making a difference. There are hundreds, probably thousands of people in the New Orleans metro area who are organized to help provide food and services -- to watch for ICE vehicles, and alert our neighbors so they can make decisions to help keep themselves and their families safe.
There are so many layers of care happening in our community. It has exploded with care and love and compassion. This is truly a city, a metro area that loves each other, and I'm making a difference by just being one small part of that to help people stay safe.
When vehicles -- when people like this want to abduct and kidnap my neighbors with no reason to do so other than the color of their skin, that is not America. That is not what I believe. I believe we are all brothers and sisters and care for one another. And I'm trying to do my part right now as are thousands across New Orleans area.
TABET: Reverend Mauldin, thank you so much.
JANSING: Alex, thank you for bringing it to us. We greatly appreciate it.

MS NOW's Ana Cabrera Reports
November 18, 2025
11:37 a.m.
ALEX TABET: Now, just 30 minutes ago, Border Patrol agents were spotted on the premises right here at a nonprofit in Charlotte which provides child care services for refugee families and for immigrant families. And it really caused quite a fear. It's the second time this week they were spotted here, but that is not scaring the volunteers here from pushing forward. They're continuing to gather donations of essential goods like water, like milk -- everyday items that families need to feed themselves -- to feed their children that they are afraid to go outside of their homes and get all throughout this city of Charlotte, given the uncertainty of the repercussions.
(...)
Just break down what happened just a half hour ago. How is it impacting you personally? And how is it impacting the children who you service.
SALMA VILLARREAL, OURBRIDGE FOR KIDS: Yeah, so, within 24 hours, Custom and Border Patrol has had to enter the properties that host all of these nonprofits that support immigrants three or four times. And they have one goal: to instill fear -- to make the places that our community felt the most safe in not be safe anymore. That is what they're doing, and so, personally, you know, myself, it's -- its disheartening -- it's heartbreaking to see what's going on, but it's just making our team more resolved and continuing to support our community and continuing to fight for justice and for what's right.
And it's making our community scared -- like our spaces are spaces where we fight so hard that every family -- every child feels safe and welcomed and loved. And now they're hearing that ICE was at Ourbridge -- ICE was here, ICE was there -- the places that they felt the most safe in. And so we're hearing from our kids that they're scared. They're confused. Kids don't know these names. They just know that there's people out there who want to take them away from their parents. And so now we have to do that work to try to help them heal and help them feel safe again in this city. But we have so many people like you said who are doing just that.
TABET: Salma, thank you. Can I give you a hug?
VILLARREAL: Yeah.
TABET: And, as Salma noted, they've been working hard all day. Their goal is to send food and medicine to at least 150 families across the city of Charlotte, Ana.
