This was the White House's 'special guest" at the Wed. news afternoon Briefing.......

I feel bad for the mother. Let her grieve. Yes the WH feels they have to exploit her grief.







@ArtCandee
The White House is parading around the mother of Rachel Morin, Patty Morin, trying to make false equivalences about Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Grotesque.




t is horrible what happened to Rachel. Trying to use this to draw fear and empathy for eliminating due process is absolutely disingenuous. If they put our “homegrown” families on they would have enough to cover a 24/7 - 365 day news cycle.

Undocumented immigrants have the crime lowest rate at all. And that's from a study out of Texas, since it is one of only place that actually tracks the distinction for undocumented v. documented.

Is he going to be the first home grown to go to El Salvador?

Note - That I am not in favor of sending anyone to El Salvador - But if this is about violent criminals, and people committing "acts that interfere with US foreign relations "- then here is a prime example.

If murderers were so rampant among undocumented immigrants wouldn't they have a list to pick from?

Unfortunate that Ms. Morin doesn't realize she's being used by criminals in the administration.
