  • President-elect Donald Trump and certain Congressional Republicans have incorrectly linked President Joe Biden's immigration policies to a recent tragic attack in New Orleans, despite the perpetrator being a U.

The article discusses how former President Donald Trump and several Republican figures have wrongly attributed a violent incident in New Orleans to immigration issues. The incident involved a Honduran national, who was in the U.S. legally, attacking a woman with a machete. Despite the attacker's legal status, Trump and others like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Sen. Bill Hagerty used the event to criticize the Biden administration's immigration policies, suggesting that the attack was a direct result of lax border control. This narrative was debunked by the fact that the assailant was not an undocumented immigrant, highlighting a misuse of the incident for political gain and illustrating the spread of misinformation regarding immigration and crime.
