Overview
- Fox News anchor Joey Jones said the administration must better explain the dangers it associates with illegal immigration and argued Democrats have recently gained ground on the issue.
- Jones pointed to pre-2024 messaging that highlighted killings of Laken Riley and 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray as examples of a victim-centered approach he viewed as effective.
- He contended headlines now focus on demonstrations at ICE facilities, reframing the story around those protesting enforcement rather than victims of crime.
- The discussion comes as ICE and Border Patrol have been deployed to major cities such as Chicago, drawing criticism from Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, with Pritzker invoking a Nazi comparison.
- Co-host Tomi Lahren endorsed a broader deportation stance beyond violent offenders, while Jones urged elevating victims’ stories and highlighting policies like California issuing commercial driver licenses to noncitizens.
