The Spin

Right narrative

Federal agents conducted lawful immigration enforcement operations targeting dangerous criminals, but an activist judge is now recklessly releasing hundreds of illegal immigrants back into communities. The Biden-appointed judge ignored public safety concerns and government warnings about concrete threats posed by them. This judicial overreach directly endangers American lives by freeing individuals who violated immigration law and ought to be removed.

Left narrative

Immigration agents systematically violated constitutional protections by conducting warrantless arrests in clear breach of established legal agreements. The court rightfully ordered the release of detainees who were illegally arrested during raids that terrorized neighborhoods with excessive force and brutal tactics. This enforcement of existing consent decrees protects due process rights while ensuring proper legal procedures are followed in immigration cases.
