‘These types of smears are directly contributing to our officers facing a 1000% increase in assaults against them,’ said DHS’s McLaughlin.
Americans’ trust in corporate media has plummeted to its lowest level in more than five decades, according to Gallup polling. That trust gap should come as no surprise when reading the propaganda press’s hyperbolic coverage of the Trump administration’s immigration law enforcement policies.
Department of Homeland Security officials say reporting on Alligator Alcatraz, the new Florida Everglades-based holding facility for illegal aliens facing deportation, has been drenched in “lies” and “baseless allegations.”
“Nearly every single day, my office responds to media questions on FALSE allegations about Alligator Alcatraz. The media is clearly desperate for these allegations of inhumane conditions at this facility to be true,” DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to The Federalist.
In a release exclusively provided to The Federalist, DHS says it hopes to set the record straight and debunk “all the hoaxes” surrounding the message-sending Alligator Alcatraz.
McLaughlin asserts there have been some doozies pushed on social media and through many of the usual Trump-hating corporate media news outlets known for massaging the truth in the furtherance of the narrative they’re feeding.
Correcting the record is particularly important amid escalating assaults against Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and other DHS officials, Homeland Security said.
“No feces are overflowing from toilets. Just like no one has died. Incinerators are not being used for nefarious purposes. These types of smears are directly contributing to our officers facing a 1000% increase in assaults against them,” the assistant secretary said. “Here are the facts: Alligator Alcatraz does meet federal detention standards. All detainee facilities are clean. Any allegations of inhumane conditions are FALSE.”

I’m glad they kept the name Alligator Alcatraz because it has liberals heads bursting. The liberals are losing their minds, and I’m having fun watching it.
After what they did to Trump, and what biden did to the country, anything that makes liberals’ lives harder is a wonderful thing.
With you 100% on this.
And we can do it legally, not illegally as they did.
Why are we still believing the MSM?

Are losing? Lost.
