Trump and Republicans Incorrectly Attribute New Orleans Incident to Immigration Issues

The article discusses how former President Donald Trump and several Republican figures have wrongly attributed a violent incident in New Orleans to immigration issues.

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Sen. Bill Hagerty used the event to criticize the Biden administration's immigration policies, suggesting that the attack was a direct result of lax border control. This narrative was debunked by the fact that the assailant was not an undocumented immigrant, highlighting a misuse of the incident for political gain and illustrating the spread of misinformation regarding immigration and crime.
