Immigration

For only the second time since the week of January 26, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt held a second briefing of a week. Along with our friend Katie Pavlich of Townhall having the chance to sit in the “new media seat,” she and other conservative reporters showed the liberal reporters it’s not that hard to ask real questions of your own “side” on issues ranging from crime to the…

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer tried repeatedly to goad former liberal Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer into attacking both his former colleagues and President Donald Trump on Wednesday’s edition of The Situation Room.

In the moral battle between President Donald Trump and the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, the media have chosen a side. The foreign gangsters are less morally questionable than the president.

Having made their beds over the weekend and into Monday, ABC, CBS, and NBC continued to lie in it Tuesday morning as they remained steadfast in expressing horror and rushing to the defense of illegal immigrants who were deported to an El Salvadoran jail based on their alleged membership in the dangerous, murderous Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

PBS News Hour White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez had an eventful Monday show. Within the span of two minutes, she managed to omit that a recently deported visa holder admitted to attending Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah's funeral and interviewed Law Professor Kim Wehle, who suggested Trump’s immigration policies writ large should merit a third impeachment.

Snobby Joe Scarborough repeatedly condescends to bloggers, saying that he will talk slowly so they'll be able to understand. His condescension comes in the context of saying that federal judges do have the authority to enjoin actions by the federal branch, and in particular, that Judge Boasberg had the authority to order the Trump administration to cease deporting members of violent gangs…

With the markets rebounding and egg prices cratering, the networks were deprived an opportunity to foist their recession porn upon their viewers. They had no trouble settling on a new consensus top story, though, given their hysterical coverage of the Trump administration’s decision over the weekend to deport suspected Tren de Aragua and other gangbangers to a Salvadoran supermax.

During a briefing Monday afternoon otherwise dominated by probing questions about the weekend deportation flights of dangerous illegal immigrants who belong to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA), White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took a moment to zing the French after a French member of the European Parliament demanded the U.S. return the Statue of Liberty.

On Monday, the “Big Three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship morning news shows to side with dangerous illegal immigrants and Tren de Aragua members over the well-being of American citizens, denouncing their “controversial deportations” to a notorious jail in El Salvador and comparing President Trump’s decision to the internment of Japanese-Americans in World War II.

On CNN This Morning, in a discussion of the Trump administration's deportation of Venezuelan gang members despite a judge's order purporting to prohibit it, host Audie Cornish engages in apophasis, saying: "This is one of those things that people end up talking about constitutional crisis. I will try not to kickoff Monday with that term, but . . . "

It should go without saying, but America does not need more Hamas sympathizers. Yet this simple truth seems to confound a wide variety of commentators across the political spectrum. This week, the White House announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement would be deporting an apparently green card-holding Columbia University graduate student named Mahmoud Khalil. Khalil came to the United…

The three broadcast networks of ABC, NBC, and CBS took different approaches to the news that more Columbia University students have been arrested, but none of them were good. NBC portrayed visa enforcement as a “crackdown on pro-Palestinian protests,” while CBS ignored the reason for the arrest, and ABC ignored her previous protest-related arrest and, like the others, that this is not the…

On Wednesday's Morning Joe, MSNBC co-host Mika Brzezinski tried to put a negative spin on how successful President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown has been, but was then contradicted by reporter Julia Ainsley who pointed out that there has been a dramatic drop in illegal border crossings.

PBS News Hour White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez tried to claim on Thursday that if the Trump Administration is able to successfully deport pro-Hamas Columbia University student protest leader Mahmoud Khalil, it can deport any legal immigrant simply for disagreeing with them.
