The Trump Administration's Immigration Policies and Media Influence
The Department of Homeland Security released photos of migrants boarding planes for Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, with conflicting messages about their criminal backgrounds. Critics fear the Trump administration's emphasis on optics may be reinforcing misperceptions about immigrants and crime. A recent poll showed that those who get news from Fox and conservative media are more likely to believe false claims about immigration. The administration's use of media in immigration enforcement operations is seen as concerning by experts.
