From Fox News: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) pushed back Wednesday at a local NBC News affiliate’s report on an arrested illegal immigrant in California.
On Saturday, NBC Bay Area reported that federal agents arrested 42-year-old Gerardo in San Jose as he was leaving for work.
“According to the family’s Ring video, Gerardo was in his black truck at 7:45 a.m., about to head out to his construction job when multiple people, who appear to be federal officers, approached his truck and yelled for him to get out,” the report read.
It continued, “His wife, Idalia, who says she is a U.S. citizen, ran to the truck to try to stop the arrest. She said a woman, not in uniform, hit her 22-year-old daughter with a baton – the incident, however, is not shown on the footage.”
DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin provided the critical details NBC left out. She wrote:
Of course @NBCNews refuses to tell the American public that this illegal alien from Mexico has a rap sheet that includes:
-lewd and lascivious acts with a CHILD
-battery of a spouse
-domestic battery
-compensation for prostitution
-felony reentry after removal
