The Spin
Democratic narrative
The wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man with protected status, isn't a glitch — it's the Trump White House's ultimate blueprint. Vance's shameless defense of this so-called "error" exposes their intent — wielding power to expel immigrants at will. To make things worse, Garcia's legal rights, like those of Haitians or Venezuelans, were dismissed by decree. This isn't incompetence — it's a deliberate feature of their lawless agenda.
Republican narrative
Whether the Trump administration made one mistake should not detract from its success in ridding the country of violent criminal illegal migrants. Criminal gangs wreak havoc in South America — including kidnapping, murdering, and extorting in Chile and Colombia — while exploiting U.S. borders, making Garcia's case merely a potential glitch in the grand scheme of things. Trump's constitutional use of the Alien Enemies Act is targeting a real threat, backed by solid intelligence, not just tattoos.
