The Atlantic thought it had scored a big win with its recent story on top Trump officials supposedly divulging sensitive discussions related to anti-Houthi operations. Strangely enough, the conversation took place on an encrypted, government-sanctioned messaging app, so the real scandal here seems to be The Atlantic’s inability to stay in the loop. Instead of exposing deep secrets, they accidentally included Jeffrey Goldberg, a well-known anti-Trump scribe. The publication’s editor, predictably, claimed that classified information was spilled, but in reality, nothing of the sort occurred. This goes to show that while the DC elite may be losing their minds over these supposed revelations, the average American certainly isn’t.
And what better way to distract from their own journalistic inadequacies than to churn out more sob stories? Enter the recent deportation narrative from The Atlantic, which turned out to be another deceptive piece of propaganda aimed at undermining President Trump’s exceedingly popular mass deportation policies. A father, it claimed, was unjustly taken off the streets. Typical story, right? Except this “father” is, in fact, a verified MS-13 gang member – a detail conveniently buried in the article. Rather than a victim of the system, this man was a danger flagged by the courts six years prior.
Very important fact that Yoni leaves out (and I can't imagine why!)
An Immigration judge found that Garcia was an MS-13 member, a flight risk, and a threat to the community SIX YEARS AGO https://t.co/fB9uv60fL4

The media may present this gang member as just another misunderstood soul after fleeing threats in El Salvador, but the facts tell a different story. Court records revealed that Abrego Garcia was not only deemed a flight risk but also recognized as a threat to his community. He might have entered the U.S. as a minor, but that doesn’t erase his affiliation with one of the most notorious gang networks in the world. The Atlantic’s insistence on painting him as a concerned father is nothing more than an attempt at emotional manipulation, ignoring the dangerous realities of his past.
In a twist of irony, this piece of reporting – rife with omissions – reflects the media’s ongoing attempts to discredit Trump’s tough stance on illegal immigration. Past examples abound, like the stories of deported Venezuelan soccer players or LGBTQ barbers, who, it turned out, had ties to criminal organizations themselves. The aim is clear: to paint a picture of the Trump administration as draconian, when in reality, it is enforcing laws meant to protect American citizens from those gravely endangering their safety.
The deportations will roll on, unabated. It is a stark reminder that the American people support the administration’s commitment to public safety. Even non-criminal illegal aliens who find themselves on the wrong side of the law risk being deported, and rightly so. So, while The Atlantic attempts to rally the anti-Trump crowd with false narratives, they unwittingly highlight their own ineptitude and the growing distance between themselves and the everyday American. With every misleading report, they further erode what remains of their credibility in a media landscape where the truth is constantly obscured.
