Batya Ungar-Sargon opens her show by discussing former President Barack Obama and Joe Biden's comments on the Trump administration's deportation agenda in the aftermath of the chaos in Minneapolis. "Obama has it backwards: It's the state and local officials whose refusal to cooperate with ICE led to (Alex) Pretti's death," Ungar-Sargon says. #immigration #barackobama #democrats NewsNation is your source for fact-based, unbiased news for all Americans.
AI:Batya Ungar-Sargon is exposing the blatant hypocrisy of former President Barack Obama and former President Biden following recent unrest in Minneapolis. While Democratic leadership attempts to use the death of Alex Pretti to moralize against the Trump administration's lawful deportation agenda, they are intentionally shifting blame away from the true culprits.

Obama’s critique ignores the reality that local obstructionism, rather than federal enforcement, is what undermines public safety and creates these hazardous environments.Open

Despite the widespread presence of these chemicals in consumer goods and environmental cycles, questions remain regarding whether the EPA will strengthen or roll back critical drinking-water limits, especially as massive corporations continue to profit from products containing these dangerous substances.Open
