White House Press Secretary slams the Miami Herald for what she calls a “false and dangerous” claim that the Department of Homeland Security is targeting foster children. In a fiery rebuttal, she defends DHS, stating, “We are trying to keep children out of harm’s way,” and accuses the previous administration of allowing widespread child trafficking and abuse. The administration says it provided facts that the outlet refused to publish, intensifying the growing battle between the White House and legacy media over immigration narratives.
00:00Egregious to accuse this administration of trying to target foster children.
00:05That is not at all what is happening at the Department of Homeland Security.
00:08We want to protect children, unlike the previous administration,
00:11which allowed children to be trafficked and raped, and in some cases killed because of the open border policies.
00:18Despite having a full list of facts from the Department of Homeland Security, it's another example of fake news.
00:23Not a single illegal alien was allowed into this country because of this administration's border policies in the month of May.
00:30The Miami Herald recently published a story saying the Trump administration was targeting migrant foster children.
00:37The Trump administration has denounced this as false.
00:40Could you clarify the Trump administration's position on protecting migrant children, particularly the 300,000 lost under the Biden administration?
00:47Yes, I saw that Miami Herald article yesterday and I was aghast at the headline.
00:52It's egregious to accuse this administration of trying to target foster children.
00:59That is not at all what is happening at the Department of Homeland Security.
01:02And I learned that the Department of Homeland Security actually tried to work in good faith with this reporter to get this story right,
01:08to explain that this administration is trying to protect foster children.
01:13We are trying to keep children out of harm's way, even if that means their parents are not law abiding citizens.
01:20We want to protect children, unlike the previous administration, which allowed children to be trafficked and raped,
01:27and in some cases killed because of the open border policies.
01:30Unfortunately, the Miami Herald just completely degraded themselves with this report,
01:35despite having a full list of facts from the Department of Homeland Security.
01:38It's another example of fake news.
01:40And the May border numbers speak for themselves.
01:43Not a single illegal alien was allowed into this country because of this administration's border policies in the month of May.
01:49That means not a single child was allowed into this country, possibly with human smugglers or human traffickers.
01:57And we know that was happening at the rate of thousands and thousands of children every single month in the previous administration for four years.
02:05And you didn't see any reporting of that from the Miami Herald.
02:08But now they're trying to accuse this administration.
02:10And we tried to give them the facts and they refused to report them.
02:13So thank you for bringing that report to light.
