Deceptive Right-Wing Coverage of Migration in the Darién Gap
Right-wing influencers are creating deceptive videos of migrants in the Darién Gap to push anti-immigration rhetoric, with Laura Loomer and Michael Yon leading the charge. Their content is used to promote fear of Muslim terrorists, Chinese spies, and Latin American criminals, blaming President Biden and Democrats for the situation. The focus on Muslim and Chinese migrants distorts the reality that the majority of migrants are from South America and the Caribbean. Critics warn that this sensationalized coverage worsens the humanitarian crisis.
