On Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt strongly rebuked a liberal reporter, Andrew Feinberg, for insinuating that ICE was deporting gang members solely based on tattoos and clothing.

Feinberg referred to a document about the Venezuela-based Tren de Aragua (TDA) gang, claiming certain tattoos and streetwear could lead to deportation.

Leavitt swiftly corrected him, stating, “That’s not true, actually, Andrew.” She emphasized the seriousness of the deportation efforts and condemned the media for undermining agents’ work in removing dangerous criminals.

Leavitt highlighted that there are various criteria for deportation, and President Trump’s administration is committed to deporting foreign terrorists and illegal criminals who harm American communities. She also criticized the media for questioning the credibility of agents working on the front lines to protect the nation.
