It’s been a minute, but The New York Times is back with a couple of articles meant to assist in blocking the deportation of every single illegal alien in the country, even if it means excusing their reckless, dangerous conduct.
The Times on Monday revisited the mid-January Minneapolis ICE shooting of a Venezuelan, Julio Sosa-Celis, who was illegally in the U.S. and apparently tried to help a roommate — Alfredo Aljorna — fleeing from authorities who were attempting to detain him for deportation. Referring to newly published surveillance video of the incident, the Times said the footage “contradicts the [ICE] agent’s claim that three assailants had beaten him with a shovel and broom for roughly three minutes before he opened fire.” The paper helpfully explained that what actually took place was a “confrontation” that “lasts about 12 seconds and shows two men struggling with the agent” and that “it shows no sustained attack with a shovel.”
