Brianna Lyman of The Federalist corrected CNN on the viral claim that ICE detained a five year old. She laid out the facts about abandonment, humane treatment, and legal authority while withstanding interruptions from Abby Phillip.
Vice President J.D. Vance pushed back on reports that a five-year-old was arrested by immigration agents. He says the child was never arrested and was temporarily cared for after his father, an illegal immigrant, fled. Vance defended ICE actions as lawful and necessary and called for better local, state, and federal coordination.
