The Spin

Republican narrative

This policy targets the worst criminals whose own countries won't take them back, protecting American communities from dangerous individuals. The Supreme Court cleared the way for these necessary deportations, and diplomatic agreements ensure proper handling. Mass deportations fulfill campaign promises to secure the border.

Democratic narrative

This policy strips away due process protections and puts thousands at risk of torture and death with inadequate legal safeguards. Six hours notice isn't enough time to prepare any defense, effectively denying people their rights. This violates international law and humanitarian principles.
