CLAIM
CNN & MSNBC Fail To Cover Assault on Law Enforcement

THE OFFENSE

SOURCES
• CNN, MSNBC skip on-air coverage of July 4 armed attack on ICE agents at Texas facility
• CNN, MSNBC insist anti-ICE demonstrations have been ‘mostly peaceful’ despite widespread unrest

CLAIM
The Mainstream Media’s Coverage of the Infamous “Maryland Man” Kilmar Abrego Garcia
CATEGORY
THE OFFENSE
The mainstream media spent months attempting to run cover for Kilmar Abrego Garcia – portraying him as a “Maryland Dad” rather than a pedophilic illegal migrant gangbanger. CBS News even went so far as to deceptively edit an interview with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem excluding details of Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s criminal history. Similarly, MSNBC cut away from Oval Office coverage just as President Trump began reading off Abrego Garcia’s rap sheet.
THE TRUTH
Despite what the legacy media may want you to think, Abrego Garcia is a known MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, child predator and criminal illegal alien.
KEY POINTS
• The media attempted to generate sympathy for an illegal migrant by describing him as a “Maryland Dad” and omitting facts about his criminal history.
SOURCES
• MSNBC Cuts Away From President Trump
• A Maryland dad was sent to El Salvador prison by mistake. Can his community get him back?
• El Salvador President Claims He Also Lacks the 'Power' to Return Wrongly Deported Maryland Father
• Maryland dad Abrego Garcia moved out of brutal El Salvador jail but remains behind bars, says senator who met with him
• Wrongfully Deported Maryland Dad Released From Detention After 5 Months
• Secretary Noem Announces ICE Arrest of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an MS-13 Gang Member, Human Trafficker, Wife Beater, Child Predator and Criminal Illegal Alien
• CBS Deceptively Edits Secretary Noem’s Answers, Cutting More than 23% of Footage from Face the Nation Interview
