The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
New York City is shielding thousands of dangerous criminals from federal authorities, including murderers and sexual predators who should be deported. Refusing to cooperate with ICE puts innocent Americans at risk while protecting violent offenders who have no right to be in the country.
Establishment-critical narrative
ICE's militarized raids terrorize immigrant communities and endanger everyone involved without making anyone safer. New Yorkers standing up to protect their neighbors sends a powerful message that masked federal agents conducting reckless operations aren't welcome in a sanctuary city.
