NYT Says We Should Keep Criminal Aliens Here Because Deporting Them Makes Communities ‘Less Safe’
Framing ICE as the antagonist, violent offenders as victims, and the enforcement of immigration law as a threat to justice isn’t journalism; it’s narrative management.
NYT: Keep Criminal Aliens Here Because Deportation Is 'Less Safe'
In the latest episode of media mental gymnastics, NYT argues that deporting criminal aliens somehow makes American communities 'less safe.'

In the latest episode of legacy-media mental gymnastics, The New York Times argues that deporting criminal aliens somehow makes American communities less safe.
The article, written by Tim Arango, Hamed Aleaziz, and Miriam Jordan, first suggested that deporting criminal aliens is problematic because they might return to the United States “and commit more crimes.”
Of course, that hypothetical assumes that the migrant could get back in, which would be a lot harder now that President Donald Trump has effectively shut down the southern border. The theory that the criminal migrant will return and “commit more crimes” only holds water if you plan on reopening the border — which may be what Democrats do if they win in 2028.
Assistant District Attorney Ryan Brackley of Arapahoe County, Colorado, told the Times that he was prosecuting a case involving a migrant who allegedly pistol-whipped a victim. The migrant, Yerbis Manuel Garcia-Quintero, allegedly “sold gold and lent money to other immigrants, and used violence to collect debts,” according to the Times. One of those beatings was caught on video and left the victim, Carlos Perez, bloodied and battered.
Despite being charged with several felonies, Garcia-Quintero posted bail and was set free, because nothing says “keeping communities safe” like giving an alleged violent alien a get-out-of-jail-for-the-right-price card.

America is under no moral obligation to warehouse violent offenders from abroad. And if Garcia-Quintero posed such a grave risk — as the Times, Perez, and prosecutor believe — maybe he shouldn’t have been let out on bond. As ICE’s Tom Homan pointed out, local prosecutors can work with ICE when it comes to taking custody of a defendant who is in immigration detention. But, if the defendant has been let out on bond awaiting trial, Homan isn’t taking any chances with public safety.
“If somebody wants to put him on bond, and he’s a significant public safety threat, we’re picking him up,” Homan said, according to the Times. “If they want to take him back into custody, they can, but we’re not going to allow him to walk the street.”

At the end of the day, The Times is simply repackaging law enforcement action as a moral crisis. Framing ICE as the antagonist, violent offenders as victims, and the enforcement of immigration law as a threat to justice isn’t journalism; it’s narrative management.
Commentary:
Crazy, pretzel logic by the so-called journalists of the NY Times.
Perhaps, sending the human smuggling, child rapist, wife beating illegals to live in the homes of these "Journalist', letting them babysit their kids, have fun with their wives see how they will tolerate it.
Seemingly, they want to protect criminal aliens for Democrat votes, but they wouldn’t dare want them in their communities. They'll become NIMBY's instantly.
They know and we all know it’s Bull Crap. They are hoping you don’t want to be called ‘Phobic’ or Racist. Those words used to be Scarlet Letters, with 'One Size' fitting all occasions. Now, not so much.
