Deep dives
False Deportation Narrative
A Maryland citizen was at the center of a media story claiming he was wrongfully deported by the Trump administration. The reality is that he was an El Salvadoran citizen with a history of illegal entry and ties to gangs, rather than a U.S. citizen as portrayed. Although an administrative error occurred in his deportation process, he was never legally protected from being sent back to El Salvador, where he claimed asylum due to gang threats. This nuanced truth contrasts sharply with the media’s narrative, which painted a picture of a victimized father, misplacing the focus on the complexities of immigration law.
