Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials are continuing to defend themselves against the national media which continues to mis-characterize the role and intent of the round-up of criminal aliens.
Media reports have called the Operation Cross Check arrests of criminal aliens a mean-spirited effort by ICE officials and the Trump Administration, despite the fact that this operation has been carried out in the past. More than 2,000 criminal aliens were rounded up in March 2015, Breitbart Texas reported at the time. The nearly 700 arrests in last week’s operation pales in comparison, yet the mainstream media appears to have lost total perspective in its attacks on the men and women tasked to protect our nation from these criminals.
When ICE agents arrested Daniel Ramirez Medina, a 23-year-old Mexican national, media outlets quickly jumped on his DACA status granted by the Obama Administration. Outlets failed to report Medina was targeted because of his alleged “gang member” status, Breitbart Texas reported.
“Daniel must be given his freedom, now,” said United We Dream Advocacy Director Greisa Martinez in the Washington Times. “Under Trump’s America, no one is safe. Donald Trump and Republicans must say in no uncertain terms that DACA recipients are safe.”
Being a gang member is a DACA-disqualifying activity.

I heard a Democratic congressman on NPR the other day and he said "we have seen reports of an ICE raid on 3 individuals on the steps of a church". Of course being NPR they went straight to a fluff questions instead of "who is we" or "what is the source of these reports". Blatant fake news. And later after disproven he can say "I don't recall" and "I thought I remembered reading that".
