The White House is calling out The New York Times for publishing 'total fake news' regarding the Trump Administration's handling of legal services for unaccompanied alien children.
In a post on the official Rapid Response 47 X account, the White House stated: 'Total Fake News from the failing NYT. Every week, attorneys appear in court to represent unaccompanied alien children and the Trump Administration remains committed to providing them with legal services.'
Contrasting the Current Administration with the Previous One
The post continues by pointing out the failures of the previous administration, noting that 'Unlike the Biden Administration, which crashed the system because so many' immigrants were allowed to enter.
The White House response suggests that the Trump Administration is actively ensuring that unaccompanied alien children receive the legal representation they are entitled to under the law.
Holding the Media Accountable
This pushback comes as part of a broader effort by the Trump White House to correct what it views as misleading reporting by legacy media outlets.
The original New York Times article that prompted the response is not identified in the post, but the White House's message is clear: it will not allow false narratives about its immigration policies to go unchallenged.
