"He said the Trump campaign was smart in how it talked about the issue before the 2024 election by pointing out illegal immigrants from Venezuela killed 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley and 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray. That was the headline these were the victims of illegal immigration, Jones said. But the headlines have since shifted to protestors at ICE facilities, which Jones said is a better look and argument for Dems."
"He continued: The Trump Administration has to do a better job messaging not taking advantage of, not lying about, and not exaggerating simply sitting there and telling that story, and telling it loud and proud and getting the victims of illegal immigration to get those people's stories told. A wise move, Jones added, would be for the Trump Administration to harp on states like California issuing commercial driver licenses to people who are not citizens."
The Trump campaign previously highlighted killings of 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley and 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray by alleged illegal immigrants from Venezuela to frame them as victims of illegal immigration. Headlines have shifted toward protesters at ICE facilities, reframing narratives from victims of illegal immigration to perceived victims of immigration law enforcement. The Trump Administration needs clearer messaging focused on telling victims' stories loudly and accurately without exaggeration. A suggested tactic is emphasizing state actions like California issuing commercial driver licenses to noncitizens and linking such policies to public-safety incidents. Some public voices assert deportation should apply to all who entered illegally, not only "the worst of the worst."
