Vice President of the United States JD Vance rejected what he described as a misleading media report claiming Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained a five-year-old child, saying the facts show the child was never arrested and was instead with his father, an illegal alien who fled from authorities.
Vance addressed the claim while defending immigration enforcement and criticizing narratives that he said distort routine law enforcement actions to undermine ICE operations.
“The fact that we’re standing behind law enforcement, and I’m proud of the fact that we’re enforcing the country’s laws,” Vance said.
