Deep dives
Misinterpretation of the New Orleans Attack
The New Orleans New Year's Eve attack has been framed by some politicians through the lens of immigration, despite clear evidence that the perpetrator was a Texas-born military veteran. Right-wing officials use this tragedy to scapegoat undocumented migrants, pushing a narrative that ties domestic violence to issues at the border. This comes even as the facts show that there is no connection between the attacker’s background and immigration status. Such misrepresentation serves a political agenda rather than addressing the reality of the situation.
