  • Within hours of the attack in New Orleans, president-elect Donald Trump falsely suggested that the suspect was an undocumented immigrant
  • and Republicans followed suit.

The video from MSN discusses a recent attack in New Orleans where a Honduran national, who had been previously deported, was involved in a violent incident. Donald Trump and his MAGA supporters have inaccurately linked this event to broader issues at the U.S. border, suggesting that the attack is a direct result of what they describe as lax border policies under the current administration. Critics argue that this narrative oversimplifies the complexities of immigration and crime, pointing out that the individual's criminal history and deportation do not necessarily reflect on the effectiveness or morality of immigration policies. The video highlights the political exploitation of the incident to fuel anti-immigrant sentiments, while also noting that such events are often used to push for stricter immigration controls without addressing underlying issues like recidivism or the reasons behind illegal re-entry.
