“Credit to the Department of Homeland Security and Vice President J.D. Vance for immediately nipping in the bud what was sure to be a hysterical weekend-long news cycle. And yet, the headlines remain: New York Times: ‘Detention of 5-Year-Old by Federal Agents Incenses Minneapolis’ … Washington Post: ‘ICE detains four children from Minnesota school district, including 5-year-old’ … CBS: ‘ICE takes 5-year-old boy and his father after using boy as ‘bait,’ school district says’ … Axios: ‘ICE’s detention of child puts new focus on Trump team’s tactics’ … They would have you believe that ICE snatched an adorable little boy out of preschool and marched him into the frigid air of a Minneapolis suburb.” (01/23/25)
