Most people were probably taking it easy on their Labor Day weekend Saturday night, but not the Department of Homeland Security. Instead of basking by the pool with margaritas, they were busy blasting CNN for their slanted coverage of the Trump administration’s efforts to repatriate immigrants in this country illegally and return safety to our cities’ streets.
You’re no more than a “disgraceful propaganda arm,” DHS told the ratings-challenged, truth-allergic outlet:
.@CNN is a disgraceful propaganda arm for radical, sanctuary city politicians.

These headlines directly contribute to the 1000% increase in assaults against our brave @ICEgov law enforcement.

As you can see, the CNN headline that DHS refers to reads, “A volunteer firefighter, a beloved pastor, a prominent journalist: These are the community pillars being detained by ICE.” It was from a story posted on Saturday, August 30.
“These headlines directly contribute to the 1000% increase in assaults against our brave @ICEgov law enforcement,” DHS wrote.
Let’s look into these heroic “community pillars” that CNN lauds. There’s this guy, who CNN describes as “known to many in Port Chester, New York, as a family man who made a living as a marble installer and a volunteer with the local fire department,” and who, according to them, had his life “ripped away” by ICE.
He might be a family man, but he would seem to be a very drunk, illegal family man:
Milton Geovanny Guamarrigra-Loja is a criminal illegal alien from Ecuador. His criminal history includes THREE DWIs.

This serial drunk driver is a public safety threat to innocent Americans.
And then there’s this brave reporter, Mario Guevara, who, according to the “Most Trusted Name in News,” has “spent the last 20 years covering law enforcement and immigration in the metro Atlanta area.” Could there maybe be more to the story? Oh yeah:
Accusations that Mario Guevara was arrested by ICE because he is a journalist are completely FALSE.

Mario Guevara was arrested by Dekalb County, Georgia police for willful obstruction after he refused to comply with local police orders to move out of the middle of the street.…
Following his arrest by local authorities, ICE placed a detainer on him. Following his release, he was turned over to ICE custody and has been placed in removal proceedings. This El Salvador national is in ICE custody because he entered the country illegally in 2004.
One more for the road: “Daniel Fuentes Espinal came to the US from Honduras in 2001 to flee poverty and violence” and has become a “spiritual leader” in his community. Yet he also couldn’t be bothered for TWENTY YEARS to lift a finger to try and legalize his status. Try that in Mexico or virtually any other country on the globe and find out what happens to you.
ICE offers arrested Daniel Omar Fuentes Espinal, an illegal alien from Honduras, during a targeted vehicle stop in Easton, Maryland. They approached Fuentes and clearly identified themselves. During questioning, he admitted to being in the country illegally. He overstayed his…

He overstayed his visa by more than TWENTY years.
We’ve known for years just how corrupt the mainstream media has become, but it’s still astonishing to see the lengths they’ll go to glorify people who break the law, vilify any efforts to bring safety back to our streets, or encourage hate and distrust against the very institutions that are trying to clean up the mess made by failed progressive policies.
DHS wasn’t having it Saturday.
Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
