Wisconsin Media Refusing to Report on Law Enforcement Concerns with Paul Ryan on Immigration

JANESVILLE, Wisconsin — Two local newspapers here in Wisconsin’s first congressional district are refusing to report news relevant to their readers when it comes to federal law enforcement criticism of House Speaker Paul Ryan.

The tactic—shunning any information that is unfavorable to their preferred candidate in an election, in this case Ryan over businessman Paul Nehlen in the GOP primary this coming Tuesday—is one of the worst examples of media bias.

Specifically, as the Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard reported on Thursday, federal immigration officers are upset with Ryan’s handling of immigration matters.

National ICE Council president Chris Crane wrote to Ryan:

I write to you today in my capacity as the President of the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Council, representing approximately 7,000 ICE law enforcement officers and staff. I am also an ICE officer myself. I am writing because I have multiple concerns I would like to address with you. We are in the middle of a national crisis—immigration officers are prohibited from enforcing the laws of the United States, and a result dangerous criminal aliens are being released into American communities daily. I am concerned that as House Speaker, you have not spoken out about any of the issues confronting our officers or the threat to public safety presented by the lawless immigration policies of the Obama administration.

The letter goes on to detail that Ryan and his office have not reached out to the ICE officers on this matter, and instead Ryan and his House pushed an omnibus spending bill “that funds the current lawlessness.”

The press needs to lose it’s special protections afforded in the Constitution so they can be held liable for known false reporting.

Ryan is also in business for Ryan! He doesn’t care about the people in his district.
