The Media Thought This Story Would Make Immigration Enforcement Look Bad. They Were Wrong.

Without fail, these stories end up exposing that we’re awash with illegal aliens, and that Immigration and Customs Enforcement, along with other law enforcement entities, are doing the Lord’s work in nabbing these people. Take this clip shot in DC and posted by NBC Washington’s Aimee Cho. A Hispanic man, who was later revealed to be an illegal alien, was stopped, taken out of his vehicle, and then detained by federal agents. He tried to flee but failed.

BREAKING: Just saw DC Police + federal agents detain a man on the National Mall. He appeared to try to escape, then was quickly tackled to the ground by several agents + was screaming in Spanish “please, I’m not a criminal, I work here, I want to be with my family” @nbcwashington pic.twitter.com/56IlXEvYbN

This doesn’t make D.C. safer. It’ll just make people not come to D.C. The cruelty is always the point. https://t.co/iroqHCk9O7

“Please, I’m not a criminal, I work here, I want to be with my family,” he said in Spanish. Not true—the man is an illegal alien child rapist. He was arrested in January of 2024 in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Yes this illegal alien from Mexico was previously arrested in January 2024 in Fairfax County for aggravated sexual assault of a child under 13.

Glad he is off of Washington DC’s streets thanks to @POTUS Trump, @Sec_Noem and @ICEgov. https://t.co/nzWJ8WAm24

All I can say is ‘adios.’

It's funny how the first post always has more quotes and reposts than the followup.
