CNN slammed for VERY selective reporting of Chicago migrant raids by outraged locals

Outraged Chicago locals have slammed CNN for selective reporting of migrant raids in the city.

The liberal broadcaster has largely focused on the human tragedy of the raids, despite violent criminals and a pedophile being among those also seized.

In one news item, CNN showed an Illinois woman breaking down in tears saying her grandfather had been deported after 30 years in North America.

'They opened the door because they thought maybe one of us were in trouble or something happened to us,' said the interviewee, Yelitza Marquina of Waukegan.

'I'm already heartbroken myself and I can't imagine little kids whose families are broken apart because of this.'

Local citizen journalist Chicago Contrarian was among those accusing CNN of bias, saying they failed to give the other side of the story about the deportations under new Border Czar Tom Homan.

'Since Tom Homan arrived in Chicago, ICE agents have arrested SIX sex offenders, THREE Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang members, and TWO illegals convicted of murder,' the Chicago local wrote.

'Yet CNN tells the story of a "grandfather" now facing deportation after living here illegally for 30 years. CNN sucks.'

Others posted screenshots of stories about deportations targeting notorious MS-13 gang members and other dangerous criminals.

'CNN will conveniently leave out gangs, drug dealers, and violent offenders and branding illegal immigrants as "migrants",' one man said on X.

'There is a clear difference between legal and illegal immigration. All illegals need to be deported.'

It comes as a Dr Phil embedded himself among Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and Homan as they rounded up undocumented migrants in Chicago on Sunday, including a pedophile.

Um, that video resulted in a question I had about the Baby Anchor chain...

If grandmother was an illegal citizen, her mother would not be an Anerican citizen.

Now, unless this woman’s (the grand-daughter) father was an American citizen wouldn’t by default this woman be an illegal citizen?

Kind of like the Fruit-of-the-poisoned-tree?

Not that we have a snowball’s chance of a sane US Supreme Court ruling... Still.....if did snow in Florida....

““Why didn’t she go with Grandad ???”” Part Two

I could see the US Supreme Court could try and play it say saying everyone here until the date they rule stays and after that they go back to the original meaning of the Founders meaning no more Anchor babies.

That said, I think all four women will go against Pres Trump because they are women and ‘feel,’ not rationalize and Roberts will also go against Pres Trump because mentall he is a woman and ‘feels,’ not rationalize.

...deported after 30 years in North America.

Hey, Mexico is in North America. He’ll feel right at home.
