The fake news media just got caught with their pants down again, and this time it's over President Trump's wildly successful immigration enforcement operation that's making America safer every single day.
CBS News thought they had a gotcha moment when they breathlessly reported that "less than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by ICE in President Trump's first year back in the White House had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses." Their clear implication? That Trump's ICE is somehow targeting innocent, non-violent people.
But here's what these media hacks don't want you to know: Every single illegal alien arrested is BY DEFINITION a criminal who broke our immigration laws. When you cross our border illegally or overstay your visa, you've committed a crime, period. Full stop.
The Numbers Tell the REAL Story
Let's do the math that CBS conveniently ignored. If 14% of 400,000 arrests were for violent criminals, that means ICE has taken approximately 56,000 violent criminals off our streets in just one year. Fifty-six thousand rapists, murderers, gang members, and other violent predators who were roaming free under the Biden regime's catch-and-release disaster.
That's 56,000 American families who are safer tonight because President Trump had the backbone to enforce our laws.
But the media doesn't want to celebrate these victories. Instead, they're clutching their pearls over the arrest of people who shouldn't be here in the first place. Since when did "non-violent" become synonymous with "law-abiding"? Drug dealers, human traffickers, identity thieves, and welfare fraudsters aren't exactly choir boys just because they haven't committed violent crimes yet.
"Every illegal alien removed is a victory for American workers, American taxpayers, and the rule of law," one ICE official told reporters.
The legacy media's desperation is showing. They can't attack Trump's booming economy, they can't criticize his foreign policy victories, so they're reduced to defending criminals and attacking the brave ICE agents who risk their lives to protect us.
Patriots, this is exactly why we voted for Trump. While the media spins fairy tales, he's delivering on his promises to secure our borders and put America First. How many more media lies will collapse before they admit Trump was right all along?
