Thank you for your journalism, @drewharwell —a story I’ve been fearing was happening in the United States of America
The Trump admin's videos boasting triumphs on immigration have used misleading footage from months ago or thousands of miles away When we showed them the errors, DHS said they make a lot of videos and the White House said it'll keep making "banger memes" https://t.co/8qmeMAnYNL
