Trump, DHS Share Florida Gas Station Clerk Murder Video

Did Biden's open-border policies lead to a preventable murder or is Trump weaponizing a tragedy to distract from scandal?

The Spin


Right narrative

Americans needed to see this video to truly understand America's dire immigration problems. Biden's policies directly enabled this murder, as Rolbert Joachin entered illegally, got a deportation order and was handed Temporary Protected Status anyway. A Fort Myers mom is dead because the previous administration chose political posturing over public safety. Lax immigration enforcement has real, deadly consequences, and this case proves it.

Left narrative

Trump exploited a woman's brutal death by posting graphic murder footage hours after a damaging Melania press conference — a transparent distraction. Meanwhile, ICE has been caught fabricating assault claims against immigrants, with footage proving agents shot an unarmed man fleeing and then charged him anyway. Weaponizing tragedy while federal agents lie to justify violence is not law enforcement — it's propaganda.
