The mainstream media has done it again. Two Los Angeles outlets rushed to report a salacious tale about ICE, feeding into their anti-law enforcement, anti-Trump narrative. They fell hook, line, and sinker for a hoax about a woman supposedly kidnapped by ICE agents. These outlets painted a distressing scene: masked men snatching a mother off the streets, whisking her away to an unknown location without access to basic necessities. It sounds like the plot of a dystopian film, but it turns out, it’s pure fiction.
When Homeland Security debunked this wild story, pointing out that ICE doesn’t employ bounty hunters and this alleged operation never happened, the damage was already done. The media’s negligence didn’t stop the circulation of this false narrative, fueled by ideologically-driven activists who care more about smearing law enforcement than uncovering the truth. Isn’t it interesting how quickly they run with stories that fit their biased agenda, regardless of the facts?
These so-called journalists had plenty of chances to verify their claims, yet they chose negligence. The facts, logistics, and integrity were sacrificed for an irresistible anti-ICE narrative.

This fake news also highlights why alternative media sources are thriving as people seek out factual information.
The media’s priorities are crystal clear—they prefer to demonize those safeguarding the nation than report the truth. Their hysterical, false narratives make it difficult for anyone to take them seriously. Will they ever prioritize facts over fiction, or will they continue feeding the anti-American media machine?
