CLAIM
ICE has arrested nearly 75,000 people with no criminal records, data shows
CATEGORY
THE OFFENSE
NBC News made a post stating that “more than a third of the roughly 220,000 people arrested by ICE officers in the first nine months of the Trump administration had no criminal histories.”
THE TRUTH
ALL illegal aliens have broken the law, and, by NBC’s own admission, the vast majority of illegals arrested by the Trump administration have criminal histories separate from their immigration violations. NBC attempted to slander President Trump’s immigration crackdown, but ultimately just drew attention to the fact the administration has removed 145,000 illegal migrants with criminal records from our streets.
KEY POINTS
• NBC News meant to portray the administration’s immigration crackdown as targeting innocents, but ultimately just brought attention to how many criminal illegals it has removed from civil society.

CLAIM
Immigrants in overcapacity ICE detention say they’re hungry, raise food quality concerns
CATEGORY
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.
