THE OFFENSE
NBC News published an article in which detainees and so-called “immigration advocates” complained about food quality and overcrowding in ICE facilities.
THE TRUTH
The Department of Homeland Security has thoroughly debunked this. No ICE detainee is subject to a lack of food or subprime living conditions.
KEY POINTS
• NBC News published false reports from criminal illegal aliens as fact, ignoring the facts outlined by DHS, and contributed to a false narrative that has driven a 1,000% increase in violence against ICE agents.
SOURCES
• Immigrants in overcapacity ICE detention say they're hungry, raise food quality concerns

THE OFFENSE
NBC News released a one-sided article disparaging President Trump’s enhanced law enforcement operations in Washington, D.C.
THE TRUTH
The “immigration advocates” cited in the article are far-left partisan sources who claimed that President Trump’s law enforcement efforts were a “federal coup.” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Al Sharpton, Marc Morial, and Derrick Johnson were among the partisans quoted in the article. Bunn’s writing included only two republican voices of dissent, one of which was buried in the bottom of the article.
KEY POINTS
• NBC News’ Curtis Bunn published a one-sided article that overrepresented biased left-wing voices in an effort to undermine President Trump’s law enforcement operations in the nation’s capital.
SOURCES
• Black mayors and leaders decry Trump’s threats to deploy National Guard in cities

• Al Sharpton Speaks at 2024 DNC
