The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
Operation At Large is President Trump delivering on his core campaign promise to secure America's borders and remove dangerous criminals who threaten public safety. The administration is simply enforcing existing immigration laws that previous administrations ignored — focusing resources on removing gang members, murderers, and other violent offenders who have no right to be here. These enforcement actions protect American communities and ensure that legal immigration processes are respected.
Anti-Trump narrative
The administration's dragnet approach is terrorizing communities and separating families, including arresting honor students and churchgoing mothers who pose no threat to public safety. Miller's quota system forces agents to arrest anyone they encounter regardless of criminal history — turning routine court appearances into traps and undermining due process. This reckless spending spree diverts resources from investigating actual crimes while instilling unjust fear in immigrant communities.
