Trump administration delivers a brutal takedown of this fake news media outlet
The media is out to get the Trump admin. But they aren’t taking the attacks lying down.
And the Trump administration delivers a brutal takedown of this fake news media outlet.
In the heart of America’s ongoing battle against unchecked illegal immigration, CBS News anchor Margaret Brennan stirred up controversy on Sunday’s Face the Nation.
She painted a picture that downplayed the threats posed by those crossing U.S. borders unlawfully, suggesting that President Donald Trump’s administration is deporting folks who are basically harmless. But hold on—facts from the Department of Homeland Security tell a very different story, one that exposes the mainstream media’s bias against real border security.
Brennan kicked off her segment by highlighting the surge in detentions. “The number of detainees held by U.S. immigration and customs enforcement has reached a record high of nearly 66,000, according to data released Friday by DHS,” she stated.
She didn’t stop there, pushing a narrative that half these detainees are just everyday folks caught in the system:
“Earlier this month, our Camilo Montoya-Galvez reported that roughly half of those in custody have no criminal charges or convictions on their record,” Brennan added. According to her, they’re “being held solely because of alleged civil violations of immigration law … 48% of current detainees lack criminal charges or convictions.”
Brennan even claimed the number of these so-called “non-criminal detainees” has skyrocketed more than 2,000% since Trump reclaimed the White House.
To pile on, she tossed in polling numbers showing President Trump behind on immigration approval—45% approve, 55% disapprove.
Not ones to let fake news slide, the Department of Homeland Security fired back swiftly on X, dismantling Brennan’s claims with hard truths:
“WRONG. ~ 70% of illegal aliens arrested have pending criminal charges or criminal convictions. Does CBS really want us to release accused m*rderers and r*pists back on the streets?” the DHS said in their post.
They didn’t miss a beat, adding, “But @FaceTheNation is right about one thing: our deportation operations are at a RECORD HIGH.”
This pushback didn’t come just from DHS; everyday patriots and commentators jumped in, calling out the media’s twisted framing. They reminded everyone that illegal entry itself is a crime, no matter how the left tries to spin it.
One sharp critic summed it up perfectly: “100 percent of them are in the U.S. illegally. The real headline should be ‘Biden and Mayorkas allowed tens of thousands of violent criminal illegals to remain in the country,’ but these propagandists aren’t about to go there.”
Brennan’s segment reeks of the old liberal playbook: minimize the dangers of illegal immigration to bash Trump. But with DHS setting the record straight, it’s clear the facts favor strong borders over sob stories.
While Biden and his crew let in millions, including gang members and worse, Trump is reversing that disaster. Record detentions mean we’re finally holding lawbreakers accountable, not coddling them.
The media’s obsession with “non-criminal” labels ignores the reality: every illegal crossing weakens American sovereignty and burdens taxpayers.
DHS’s stat of 70% with criminal ties or charges pending? That’s a wake-up call.
Trump’s deportation surge is a victory for working-class Americans tired of crime waves tied to porous borders.
As this dust-up shows, the fight for truth in media rages on. But with leaders like Trump at the helm, and agencies like DHS calling out the lies, true Americans are winning back control of the country’s future.
