‘Fake Sob Stories’: NYT Raked For Ignoring Migrant’s Long Criminal History
The Times reported the case of Alfredo Orellana, who worked as a caregiver for a man with severe autism in Northern Virginia named Luke. The family who employed Orellana said he worked for them for four years.
The Times goes on to report that Orellana, a permanent resident, was detained for 12 hours in January after returning from El Salvador with his wife, who is an American citizen. They were told to return to Dulles International Airport the next month with court documents. When they returned in February, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents took Orellana into custody.
“We were so shocked. We just could not believe it. We were both sobbing,” his wife recalled.
The Times reported that Orellana’s detainment and possible deportation stemmed from when he “swindled” a store out of $200 eight years ago when he was struggling with substance abuse.
Tricia McLaughlin, Homeland Security’s assistant secretary for public affairs, posted on X that Orellana is subject to deportation because he has a much longer criminal history than the Times described.
“Of course [the NYT] failed to mention this guy had multiple charges from 2012-2019: distributing drugs, drug possession, assault and battery, failure to appear to court (twice), theft at the second degree, and larceny. Startling that he was a caregiver given he had violent charges on his record,” McLaughlin said.
“More fake sob stories,” she added.
