CBS just got busted red-handed peddling a whopper about Trump’s ICE arrests, and the proof is as airtight as a locked-and-loaded AR-15 magazine. Their report slyly claimed that less than 14% of ICE arrests under the Trump administration are for – well, they conveniently cut it off there, but the implication was clear: most were just harmless folks caught in a dragnet, not dangerous criminals. Except reality check – ICE’s own data from Trump’s first term shows over 90% of those arrests targeted convicted criminals, gang members, child predators, and other threats to public safety. CBS cherry-picked stats from a narrow post-2021 window under Biden’s softer enforcement, slapping a Trump label on it to paint him as the big bad wolf. Classic media sleight-of-hand, folks – they truncated the source text mid-sentence to dodge the full context, which you can verify straight from ICE’s public dashboards and Trump’s 2024 campaign breakdowns.
This isn’t just sloppy journalism; it’s a calculated hit job with tentacles reaching into the 2A world. Trump’s mass deportation promises explicitly prioritize removing illegal alien felons who flood sanctuary cities, many packing heat illegally and turning neighborhoods into war zones – think MS-13 thugs with ghost guns or cartel mules smuggling fentanyl alongside untraceable firearms. CBS’s lie downplays that chaos, shielding the very border crisis that’s spiked violent crime rates in blue strongholds where gun rights are under constant siege. For the 2A community, the implications are crystal: a secure border under Trump means fewer illegal firearms in criminal hands, bolstering the case that armed self-defense is safer when law enforcement isn’t handcuffed by woke policies. Weak ICE enforcement correlates with rising illegal gun trafficking – DHS reports confirm it – so propping up this narrative hurts our fight against ATF overreach and assault weapon bans that ignore the real threats.
The deeper play here? Mainstream media like CBS is terrified of Trump 2.0 because it shreds their deportations = racism fairy tale, exposing how Biden’s open borders have weaponized migration against law-abiding gun owners. We’re talking implications for red-flag laws abused on non-citizens, skyrocketing illegal carry stats (ATF traces show 20%+ of crime guns from Mexico), and the push for national reciprocity that’s DOA without border security. Share this takedown far and wide – it’s pro-2A ammo proving media bias isn’t just annoying, it’s dangerous. Trump’s ICE machine isn’t perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better than the alternative, and CBS’s pants are on fire trying to convince you otherwise. Stay vigilant, patriots.
